Somehow I got between drunk and dumb at a stop light. Go figure. My truck had a scratch on the bumper, her hood was trashed.

My most embarrassing ding was pulling in a parking lot I was checking out a girl and my Dodge truck hit one of those very solid yellow posts. Ya laugh!
Hey, at least you wasn't looking at a guy

I've had some dumb ones that I don't feel like sharing. Mostly rear-ending people that I don't think are going fast enough. But my favorite one was driving on a 30 mph road that my friend lived on. I didn't have any turn signals so I slowed early and signaled with my arm out the window making a right hand turn. All of a sudden I feel this big bump and when I turn my head I see this Mustang spinning out with several pieces of the car in flight right behind the car. (I can still see it in slow motion in my head). I continue to pull into my friends driveway and get out of the car to check if the other person was all right. Before I can get out of my car this girl comes at me screaming, "I hope you have insurance!" My buddy had come out of the house by then and I just looked at her, then looked at my buddy and told him to call the cops and I wouldn't acknowledge her. She was belligerant the entire time the cops were filling out the report.

A couple of days later, I get a message on my answering machine (remember those) from a guy. The owner of the car. Turns out he just finished restoring this car and he let his girlfriend drive it. He asked me not to report it to my insurance company and he would take care of my damages out of pocket. It left a paint streak on the bumper of my rusted out 1973 Caprice. I told him not to worry about it. He had enough to deal with.
