The thing you must understand about morons is that they don't know that they are morons. You must point it out to them at every opportunity. They are very slow learners in that aspect.

long story short......im drivein my car and my buddy is in his S4......were crusing around (3am).....when this girl we know stops in the middle of the road..... i pull up in front of her and my bud comes flying up.....75mph and supposely loses control ......(i think he pulled his e brake .....cause i can see in my side mirror hes sideways and all i see is his back end a few feet way i try to move foward.....but he just catches the door....and there blue audi paint all on the side ......he pretty much rubbed the side.....the damage looked bad......but after me waxing the crap out of it at 4 am at a gas station.....i got pretty much most of it out....just a few small lines.....ill post some pix of it tomarrow......but i dont have a b4 pic i was to mad to take one...... ...(plus my friend still thinks it not a big deal...lol

Why did this girl stop in the middle of the street? Then you stopped in the middle of street, too? And your "friend" broadslides into you....sounds like all three of you aren't the brightest bulbs in the string....

Too bad about your car, good luck with whatever repairs.

Good luck fixing the car. As for your friend, I guess he didn't know his limits.

So you stop in the middle of the road for some dingle balled woman who decides to be an idiot. I'd have gone down the road and pulled on the side.

Good deal that the damage wasn't too serious, but he'd be fixing the car anyway if it were mine.
