Light pole > Porsche

[vijen6]

Wow .. wtf did I start here .. LOL .. I was using the term 'African American' to be politically correct. My fault I guess. Haha.

I was driving along on a flat road, and this big SUV rolls up behind me. I didn't really notice though, because I was just cruising, top down, with my music on. Light turns green, I start to get going, then they honked at me. I figure ok .. whatever .. they want me to go faster .. so I switch over to the open lane and went off .. I guess the SUV was still stuck in traffic.

Next light, I looked back and they were about 4 cars back behind me in the left lane. Whatever. Light turns green again, I took off normally. They cut off 2 - 3 cars across 3 lanes to get on my right side, and caught up to me quick since I was just going speed limit. Driver started to yell at me. Pull your car over. Pull over NOW! Screaming. I asked him why? He screamed out again, you hit my car. Pull over NOW.

I was thinking WTF. When did I hit his car? No bump, no whatever. So I replied and said I didn't hit your car. Then the driver swerved trying to bump me off the road while his passengers kept screaming at me to pull over. I almost pulled over, but then I saw the guy in the back reach down and pull something out. Got only a quick look but it looked like a chrome gun to me.

My mind started going into panic mode.

Situation: 4 angry 'african american' dressed in 'gangster thug' style road raging. Trying to run me off the road. Possible gun in the back. I'm by myself. **************** that.

I downshifted and took off. Racing down Aborn (45 speed limit) at about 120 (stupid .. i know) . Lost them about 20-30 cars behind me, I braked hard and made a left turn. Then hard again to the right. Since I know the area pretty well, I figure I'll lose them. Keep in mind, my brain was still in panic mode trying to avoid getting shot. I smoked my brakes again into two other right turns trying to swing back on Aborn. I guess at the next turn, my brakes were at their limit because it BARELY slowed my car down at all. I was going about 15mph too fast for the turn and swiped my right side against a light pole.

Seeing how I was out in the open street, I was scared that those guy were still chasing me, looking for me, so I hobbled the car into a side street and just went into someone's covered parking space to hide. Then ran two houses down and jumped the fence into the guys yard. I immediately called 911 and told them where I was, and that I think 4 guys with gun was trying to kill me. While waiting for the police to come, I peaked out to the main street and saw the black SUV driving by, obviously still looking for me. If I had left my car at the scene of the accident, then 100% sure the SUV would have found the car and maybe me too.

It took about 5 minutes for the police to get on scene. 4 squad cars came. I saw them and ran out waving my hand. I told them the whole story but 1/2 the police didn't believe me. They thought I was driving wreckless, hit my car, and now am trying to make up a story since they didn't see any suspicious black SUV when they came in. The ranking officer on scene sat on me on the sidewalk like I was a Mexican about to be deported. People drove by were staring. =T

They look at the accident and made some call then told me they were going to handle it as an accident. I hit the light pole, so it is an at fault accident, and I should deal with my insurance company. Then they called my parents to come pick me up and called a tow truck for the car and left. No police report. Didn't even take down my license. Wow. I guess thats police work for you.

Anyways, damage report:

My front bumper is smashed. Lithtronic I am not sure need to be replaced or not, but atleast the little corner light is smashed. Fender is scrapped. Front rim is cracked. Front and rear tires on the right side is torn. Control arm? was broken so that my rim was sitting on only struts. When I was at the shop the rim was at a 90% angle to the car?

Right now I am waiting for adjuster to come out and look at the damage. Hopefully they cover 100% - my deductable.

I think now is a good time to upgrade my bumper to the turbo look. Where is a good place to find GOOD fitting after market parts, or should I just go with stock OEM?

I like the bumper style here ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-BOXSTER-GT-2-BODY-KIT-BUMPER-SKIRTS-N-SPOILER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36475QQihZ007QQ itemZ170058070610QQrdZ1 ), but it is Ebay, so I dont know if I am getting crap quality or not.

Anyone buy from these guys before?

Sorry for the long wait before I posted the story, but I am swamped with work this week. 60 hours of work + waiting for rides because my insurance have not given me a free rental yet.

Urgg .. I need a beer tonight. LOL

PS. I remember there was this website that listed all the bumper available for Boxsters, 911 and if it fitted. Cant seem to find it now. Anyone have the link?

Sorry about that incident ... most guys in Detroit just wave, honk, or give me a thumbs-up.

On a lighter note: An American, Canadian, and Brit were in a bar. They each ordered a draft beer. It was hot and the flies were all over the place. Immediately a fly lands in the Brits' glass; he stares with disgust and pushes it away. The American gets a fly, kind of shrugs, picks it out and continues on. The Canadian, with a fly, looks at his beer, picks out the fly and says: "Spit it out you little bastard".

That is a good joke! Thanks

That bumpers pretty ricery, but the lip makes it unbearable. I liked the one pic with the bumper and the normal lip. One time I had some African americans in a big black SUV driving beside me and yelled at me, they said they wanted to buy my car, so I said 20,000, they said OK and held up the most gigantic roll of 100's ive seen in my life. Needless to say I just turned at the next street, but damn they had some bling (chains, grills, grills for the SUV, chrome 22's, big subs, and a white girl driving them around). Amazing how different 2 situations can be that started the same.

Guess i'm having fresh fish for supper tonight

Thank you for acknowledging that you're the jerk.

hey cartagena i read one of your posts, and apparently you are born and raised in canada. how dare you insult your homeland, pretty low, you pretty much are making fun of yourself...hhaahaha.

vigen6 glad to see that you survived. that's one crazy story, you should of got the licence plate...

I left Canada because I did not want to live under communist rule anymore. I have not insulted Canada, I have only stated some cold hard facts that Canadians do not like to hear.

I made these comments a long time ago. And yet, these whining Canadians keep bringing them up in this forum, again and again. For instance, Franco felt compelled to talk about me in this thread even though I said nothing about Canada here. I, however, would expect no less whining from someone who lives in Quebec.

I do not consider myself Canadian anymore as it is too painful to remember the living in that horrible socialist nightmare world. My ancestors comes from Britain and Germany so I like to think of Canada as an accident that happened to my family for over a 100 years.

Today's Joke:

Q: What is the difference between a Canadian and a canoe?

A: A canoe tips!

well after the post that you just put up. looks like you haven't lost your whining ways.

Your story kinda reminds me of what happened to me a few years back. A friend and I were out at 2AM just cruising(just got his license) and we pull up at a light. Now keep in mind we are just minding our own business,not causing a riot or playing loud music. This Cadillac Escalade pull up next to us loaded with African-Americans wearing bandannas and the passenger rolls down his window,stares at my friend,now he says something to my friend but he ignored him and asked me to look and see if the guy was looking at him. The passenger in the Escalade was just staring at him,dead-stare my friend freaked out! Then the passenger rolls up his window and 2 people tried to hop out the passenger side of the Cadillac and jack our car!?!?! Thank God my friend launched his car,otherwise I don't know where I would be today. What is wrong with the world today?! If you want something go earn it!

Glad your o.k.

Blinkwatt: I blame gangster rap music & anti-social individuals pairing up to form gangs which helped fuel the start of "Gangster thugs" in the mexican and black communities and the rappers that claim its not there music that fuels the fire.

My aunt who is a doctor was on her way to visit me when a car with 3 black youths hit her car from behind. Her car's rear end was badly damage and luckly she was unhurt. The black youths who hit her car jolted!
She called me from her cell phone and I drove to pick it her up. I notice there was a NYPD car infront of Macdonalds so I ran there to inform the cops. When I walked into Macdonalds I notice there were two black youths laying on the floor handcuffed. I don't what happen in Macdonalds but this was another crime commited.
I told the cops what happend they called for backup and 10 min later the cops arrived and wrote up a report. It appears the car that hit my aunt's was a stolen car from CT.

My best friend is a NYPD cop and he can write a book about crimes in NYC.

if you want bumper fitment advice, dont get fiberglass..., Mine fits fine, but its not as easy to put on as OEM

Old Man Riverrrrrrrr

That Old Man Riverrrrrrr

Just keeps rollin' alonggggggg

I get really tired of how dominant the Politically Correct thing has become, and just how militant some can be in its defense. :ah: :ah: :ah:

Sorry about your wreck. Now would be a great time to go with the GT3 bumper. Get the OEM one. They are pretty reasonable on eBay. You can also find the stock bumper cover there as well.

[986Roadster]

i couldnt agree more with you thumper. its not about being defensive. more about why someone would comment on the colour of skin, and over look the fact that the guy got into an accident. instead, they decided to make smart ass comments in regards to african americans, which had nothing to do with the accident. the story is no different if it was a bunch of white guys or black guys, he still would of tried to get away. just some "jerks" who decided to pick up on the fact that they werent surprised that it was done by a specific race.

Sorry to hear about your car. My experience has been that an insurance company will pretty much tell you to go pound sand if you don't have a police report filed.

Keep in mind im spanish/mexican and im not at all offended by the comment of "mexican about to be deported" because its true, thats usually seated on the curb with tie-warp hand cuffs. Being politically incorrect doesnt matter to me since its true in most cases. I've seen it alot of times in Wilmington California since theres alot of mexicans that settle there cause of the really high undocumented mexican rate in that city.

Now about your story, If its true, those guys were probably going to car jack you. when i had my Z3, these black males in Ladrea Heights bumped my rear bumper lightly from behind to get me to pull over with them to inspect damage. Thugs of course. They got out and were standing very very close to me outside the car while i walked behind my car, I felt like they were going to steal my keys out of my hand. Cop car rolls up and one of the guys says "**************** this car we dont need it, lets go" so they calmly walk towards there car and leave, I tell the police what happened and he pulls them over easily cause its 12pm lunch time traffic and i help file the report. This doesnt mean all black people commit all crimes cause i hate to make that general of a comment but Ladrea Heights is the black beverly Hills so if any crime will happen, chances are the criminal will be black cause most criminals commit crime local to there residence. But be werey of individuals that try to get you to pull over and seem like thugs or unsavory people. You would rather be sorry and have a police car pull you over for leaving the sence of an accident, not a regular person.
