that sucks. i would of been so mad at that integra. Good thing you didn't have real time attacks, they would of been scratched to hell. Hope you get everything fixed soon.
yea, luckily my best friend owns a body shop.. so everything will be fixed in like a week and ill be getting some new parts.. 8)!
the guy in the integra tried to cop an attitude with me "WHY THE **** DID YOU PU LL OUT MAN, WHAT THE ****"
he's alot smaller than me.. i told him he shouldn't have been going 80 in a 45 and he would have been able to brake maybe. and if he didnt calm down id be paying for his medical bills.

yea im fine.. i saw the integra try to come to a screeching halt.. if i had accelerated he probably would have hit my door and caused my airbag to go off.. then that would've cost a **** ton. Anyways.. he was going way above speed limit :\ turd.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how fast the integra was going - he had the right of way. Sorry to hear that man - time for more mods!

If you feel that you should just let the ins take care of it, do so, but I would fight the ticket in court and try to get it dismissed.



Sorry to hear but at least you're ok!
