I had a moron in his dads XJ blow threw a redlight and hit a civic that spun into my XJ a few months back. I got a bumper, winch, gastank skid, and locker out of the situation

I hate that. I have been tempted to buy like an old Dodge power-wagon and just put a big metal grill on it, grind off the vin and just go around Wallmart's parking lot ramming people like that. Not fast enough to hurt/kill just enough to mess up a few cars. The parking-lot punisher. That's what the Wallmarts of this world need

I fortunately have not seen or been in any serious accidents, although I was in my first fender bender a few months ago.

I was driving to work in the morning, and it had just started pouring. I was in bumper to bumper traffic. We got the green light, we all took off to get going, then for some reason we all came to an abrupt stop. Between the wet roads and my MTs, I slid into the car in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, and just slid. It sucked.. I had 0 control. Luckily I wasn't going that fast.

Guess how much damage I had on my Jeep?

Yeah. My buddy's girlfriend, who doesn't know me, was at the train station that was above the accident. She took the pic and uploaded to her Facebook, with my Jeep and I in it, and her boyfriend recognized me and tagged it. Then said I had really crushed her Soul, hehe.

I will try to get some pics up later.

But I was coming back after dropping off my gf from homecoming senior year of high school. Entering the ramp to get onto 66 the truck in front of me slammed on its breaks to avoid another car leaving the ramp last second. Slammed on mine, no control because of rain and ice that day. Slammed into the back of the truck and hit guard rail...knocked out and cracked skull. Was out for two days.
I'm still visit a neuro doctor almost a year later.

One thing I must say is that I didn't even care that it happened to me, I was just more than thankful I had the ability to drop of my girlfriend before the accident.

You dont realize how thankful you are for things till things like this happen.

Well theres this intersection that's on my route to take my girlfriend to and from work, I've seen firsthand about 10-15 wrecks, pulled up on about 5-6, and seem about 30+ near misses over the past 5 years.

And then this past January, a jackass hit me. He ran the red light. I had seem him going somewhat fast toward the intersection in my peripheral, and I figured he was just short stopping like every other dip**** on the road. Got to the intersection and seen him passing the stop line. I hit the brakes and cut right. He hit my driver side fender, spun me around and my *** end smack his minivan. If I wouldn't have seen him he would've tboned me. I had my at the time 1yo daughter with me. We were both OK. She actually was laughing about it.

When I got out I was enraged. The guy who hit me was walking towards me, and I got out yelling and cussing and he stopped dead in his tracks. I then realized if I beat him unmercifully, I'd probably be arrested so I told him to stay over there til I say so. When he finally came over there I asked him what was so ****ing important that you missed a red light? He said I don't know and shrugged. It took everything I had not to strangle that bastard.

Also, after that night. I realized he said he wasn't driving. And I think ne had been drinking and WAS driving because he flipped the story that night. I wish I wouldve caught it that night. I also wish I would've went to the hospital and got checked out. My neck was real sore the next day. I was just too distracted that night.

(I'll post a pic. Just don't want to lose all that text. Phone likes to crash when I post pics. )
