Had to happen...eventually...
 

So today - pulling in my garage at work after lunch at 1:35 pm - we have two lanes: 1: visitors and valet 2: employees.

As I swipe my card and slowly drive by to go to the lower levels - a guy in a 1993 Vette convertible swings open his 3 foot door and whacks my front fender behind the wheel - as I'm driving by.

He gets out and starts yelling at me that I should have stopped. CA law says otherwise. Plus - he was almost on the double yellow line and had 3+ feet on the passenger side between his car and the curb.

I quietly said "do you want to handle this like an adult, or other wise?" He starts screaming. So I put him verbally in his place and scared the living **** out of him. For being a white boy - I can honestly be very scary.

His insurance card was from 2011, he is 81 - and ironically enough we have the same birthday.

It's not that bad...and State Farm has already ruled it his fault. Also - car is already at the shop and I'm in a rental. LOVE STATE FARM. About a foot-long scratch, a small 7" dent and the Z light smashed.

Anyway - if his insurance is indeed expired - I'll have his license suspended.

Glad you got taken cared off.
As a side note, Vette......81 yr old driver.......ummmm that's no perception.....it's reality.

I've met you... And I'm not a small guy by any means... (Granted, mainly fat ássness) but I would never want to fúck with you, LOL, maybe if I was Arnold Schwartzeneggar when he was on steroids


Good luck! And I may have a spare Z light if it helps you out

Man that sucks balls

Sorry to see... :(

Did you at least ask him what he thought about the Z ?!

Fvcking people not paying attention :shakes head: Age is no excuse, or else you shouldn't be driving.

Sorry to hear about this, but good job on getting the repairs moving so quickly. It's nice to have a good insurance carrier. Good luck with everything :tiphat:

An old fart in a Vette did something stupid and then got indignant about it? I'm shocked.:werd:

Hey tough guy, doesn't matter if you are white, brown, black, blue, yellow, red....he's still 81.

What?

He didn't say he was gonna beat the guy... If anything, I said the OP is a big mofo even I wouldn't consider fighting, lol

I'm not in the habit of defending myself. But re-read my post. I got out of the car to be an adult and nice about it - and he went off on me. Yelling at me.

That does not work for me no matter the age. I respect my elders - when they deserve it. Act like an adult.

And by the way - I'm 50.

Ive seen you since the g37 days, never knew you are that old haha jp

SOB doesn't look that old, or close to it.

Sorry about the incident OP. But you're absolutely right, these things are bound to happen. Take for example, my 350Z. When I left Germany in 2011, I decided to store it at a Porsche dealership. Everything was fine until the owner decided to put my car in the showroom. Flattering it may be, his father somehow managed to scratch the door of my pristine car with his wheelbarrow. I'm not sure how, but even the A-pillar had to be painted. Long story short, my insurance had to pay for everything.

And it doesn't matter if he was 20, 60, 80, or 100. If you an @sshole, prepare to be treated like one. :ugh2:

Clearly reading comprehension isn't your thing. You need to go back and re-read what happened to poor OP and then make an informed post...
