Teenage girl in a honkin' big SUV (sorry it all happen to fast to get a better description) decides she needs to make a right hand turn. Unfortunately, she is in the left lane & right beside me. Now it's not like she just drifts into the lane I'm in, no she is making a full blown right hand turn right into my drivers side door.
I am able to make an avoidance move that keeps my month old 2013 Z out of the body shop or more likely the junkyard. (Thank you Z, for your maneuverability & acceleration powers)
As I am pulling away, I look in the rear view. Her close call at totaling a Z has not dampened her desire to make that damn right turn. And I watch in the review as she runs the car in back of me off the road in order to complete her turn.
As the owner of both a Z & a teenage (16) girl driver, all I can say is... *sigh*
