**Watch out for this guy**
...This guy-->
..or you'll end up like me..
A friend and I were on our way to lunch..We were standing outside of my car just about to leave and we see this lunch truck backing up pretty fast out of the driveway.
.We yelled and screamed but it was too late..Does anyone else exit a driveway in reverse without any regard to other motorists or pedestrians?? 
I know my injuries pale in comparison to some of the collisions I've seen on this forum but it sure does hurt.. 
I think the sheer stupidity of the situation is what really stings..

That really bites......I know the helpless of feeling watching your ride getting thrashed, feeling like there is nothing you can do to change it
Sorry to hear of your misfortune.....

Sorry to hear about your Vette but I at least you were there, he might have taking off and left you with the damages. It sucks but there's a lot of that going around these days. It's time for a Tigar Shark nose a la lunch cart
