Fantastic. That's putting the a$$hole in her place.

This is why I'm gonna carry aircraft paint stripper in my trunk. Someone me off and I pour paint stripper all over their car.

I think the best thing Shawn did was not completely **** the woman's car up.

Great stories

The funniest I experienced was at a bridge toll booth. It was rush hour traffic, and I was driving my old Volvo 740 beater. I was behind this newer light green Toyota Corrolla in the lineup for the tolls. Traffic was stopped, as usual, and I noticed this Corrolla slowly coasting backward toward me. I can see the woman yapping on the cell phone, oblivious to the world around her. It was a standard, she had her foot on the clutch but not brake, and the ground was slightly uneven. So as she's getting closer I honked the horn to get her attention. Without even looking back at me she flipped me the bird and kept right on coasting toward me until there was a soft "thud" as she hit me. At this point the traffic cleared ahead of us and she drove off and paid the toll. I followed her through the toll booth, and she saw I was following her, so she drove around into the Bridge Commission parking lot. I got out of my car and went up to her window, and told her (she was still on the phone) that she hit me. She then said "No I didn't, you hit ME!"

Pointing to the cammeras I said "There's no damage to either car, but if you wanna be a bitch about it we can go and review the video tapes". At this point the hilarity began. She tossed the phone aside, said "Fine, we'll do that!", put the car in reverse, and lit out across that parking lot backward as fast as that Corrolla would move. WHAM! She hit one of those concrete parking lot dividers, her arse end goes up over it and the car comes to rest with the rocker panels resting on the concrete, back tires not even touching the ground. I start to walk over, but she's not finished yet: She puts the car in gear and nails it again. The front tires spinning, she slowly inches forward until the rear tires roll up onto the concrete. This of course removed most of the resistance from forward motion, and she bolted forward. As the back tires came down off the divider the car dropped, and as the springs compressed it was just enough that the concrete divider went up between the rear wheels and bumper cover. CRACK! The bumper cover is peeled completely off and is left lying on the ground. She has finally come to a stop. As I walked up to her car, trying to hold back my laughter (and looking into the Bridge Commission windows I can see the commisionnaires making no such effort - they're laughing hysterically) I find a very deflated young woman, no fight left in her at all, bawling her eyes out. Mascara running down her face she looks up to me and bleats "I thought you were honking your horn to tell me to hurry up!". I said "No, I was honking to get your attention. You were coasting backward. I guess it's a moot point who hit who now, isn't it?". I then got into my Volvo and drove home.

That was eight years ago and is still the funniest thing ever happened to me while driving.

That was a great story ThunderChicken.

I'll add my own, but it doesn't come close to topping that.
I was parked at Best Buy waiting for Rachel to come back so we could leave and this old lady in a beat up CRX comes into the parking space accross from me. Now these are pretty large spots, but since the Cougar is large I was up to the middle dividing line, but not on it. The little CRX comes rolling in and bumps right into me. I get out and the lady backs up a bit. As she is putting it into park she rolls into me again, since the ground is sloped partially. I walk up to her window and tell her "Madam, you have hit me twice now. There is no damage, but please don't park against me, and in the future, be more careful and considerate." Which was met with "You're over the line, son." I replied "Ma'am, I am certainly not over the line, nor am I your son, and I could park a second CRX behind you and still not block traffic." At this point she partially concedes and backs up...and the front bumper cover, which didn't look to be in the best shape before arriving (must be a normal occurrance for her) falls off. About that time Rachel came out, so we left. I still wonder what she did with that bumper cover. The car was so packed, I'm almost certain there was no room for it inside.

Back in tha day, when I still had my first car (1984 light blue 3.8 Cougar), I was driving in a small town one day. There are a few traffic lights and that's pretty much the entire downtown area. Well, light turned red, car is in front of me, and I'm slowing down behind him. And another Cougar passes us in the other direction. So what do I do? Of course...I'm rubbernecking, looking at the other Cat, and WHAM! I smack the old guy's bumper. My brother was with me at the time and saw this whole thing coming on. He said very quickly, "Look out the window!" We both made it look like nothing happened. Guy never got out, just looked in his mirror. Light turned green, we both went our merry ways. I doubt that would happen in the 'road rage' era now!

What nerve!

Here's a true story ----As a youth many years ago, went to a house of someone I didn't know well as I was with other friends there. We started tossing around a basketball in the basp00get. One of my shots erringly hit a framed picture breaking out the glass. The guy's mom climbed all over me telling me in a tantrum that I would have to pay for the damage!!--I remember it as somewhat ugly. Shortly afterward, she handed me my coat which revealed that the inside lining in my coat was all torn up and hanging out like tattered toilet paper---their dog had gotten into my coat and ruined it!! She remained silent and ignored the situation, actually I think she tried to conceal the issue by pushing me out the door before I could challenge the fact. I know I got the worst of it, but didnt pay for the glass either. Amazing what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? I never forgot this.

My turn!

I can recall walking out of the mall one day. I had parked my '88 XR7 at the end of one of the rows to keep it away from the inconsiderate people.
The first thing I noticed was the Luxobarge Cadillac parked behind me. Next, I noticed that it was pushed into the rear bumper cover of my Cougar. I mean, it was really pushed into it.
You know those two bars they put on the front bumpers of the old Fleetwoods? I know why they're there, now. I suppose older people don't know where their front-end is until the vehicle stops moving.
After looking the Caddy over, I decided that it must have been a fossilized man or woman who would do such a thing.
I moved my car forward, saw that neither car had any damage, and left the parking lot.

I was driving to high school one morning in a steady line of vehicles on a 55 mph road. The vehicles in front of me stopped, as did I. The woman in the Windstar behind me wasn't watching.
She bumped into me and we both pulled over.
While I was examining the rear bumper cover (which was already pretty toasty from my teenage driving stunts), she had to tend to her child in the back seat, who was doing a good job of testing his vocal chords. There were Cheerios all over the inside of that van.
For some reason, I couldn't stop laughing.
A good time was had by all.

So last week I'm coming home from work and one of my neighbor's asshole little friends zooms around the corner in his little GTI and parks in my parking spot in front of the house. Now my car has a bad oil leak so I don't park it in the driveway, so I ask the kid as he is getting out to move it across the street and he goes "F**k you this is a public road" I said ok and he walked over to his friend's beater Nova, got in and they peeled off. I parked in the driveway, got out my cell phone and told my friend to come over and bring his 2 ton floor jack. 15 minutes later he got there, and we lifted the front end of this kids car, not before screwing up his bumper trying to find a good spot to put the jack where the car wouldn't fall off and rolled it into the middle of a T-shaped intersection in our neighborhood on the other side of my other neighbor's house. About an hour later I look out the window to see a cop with a tow truck lowering the bed. Funny thing was, the kid never came to my house, and my neighbor never mentioned it. I learned that little trick from a friend of mine who works at discount tire where they used to do that to cars when they had the wheels off, untill one day some rookie dropped a car off the jack and messed it up pretty bad.

Back when I had my first Thunderbird - in fact, the very first day I owned it, it was an exceptionally warm March day. There was over a foot of snow on the ground and the temp hit 70 degrees, so there was lots of runoff. As I was driving home from purchasing the car (with the window open due to the unseasonal heat) I noticed a large stream running across the road. I also noticed a vehicle coming the other way, so I very rapidly rolled the window up (non-power) and got it closed just in time. The person in the other car, however, did not think to roll up the window, so just as we both hit the puddle at the same time I saw them recoil as a sheet of dirty, salty water came in their window. I felt guilty, not so much at the splashing of the person, but because of the strange pleasure I derived from seeing the person get soaked.

That very same night the temp dropped as a cold front came through. As with most cold fronts it came with precipitation, and we got an inch of snow. A block from home I stopped at a light and felt the car hiccup. I didn't think anything of it, and when the light turned green I continued on home. As I got out of the car another car pulled into the driveway and a guy got out. "I just hit you", he said. I said "What?" and he explained that when I stopped at the light he slid into my car and hit me. It was only a very slight tap, so slight I thought it was the car misfiring, but he followed me home anyway. In fact, he had started to get out of the car but the light turned and I drove away. The funny thing is, he didn't follow me to start trouble, he was genuinely concerned that he may have damaged my car. There was no damage, of course, but it has always struck me odd that somebody who was clearly at fault would go through the trouble to ensure there was no damage. The world could use more people like that...

The other day a woman backed out of a neighbors driveway and into the front passenger door of my Ram. She was nice enough to leave a note apoplogizing and leaving a contact number. I'm not happy about the damage of course, but at least I don't have to hunt someone down and fillet 'em alive.

Someone backed into my wifes Pacifica a couple weeks ago and left a nice gouge and imprint of a trailer hitch in her bumper cover and grill.

Years ago I had my 87 Sport parked at the local grocery store, and some chicken shiznit hit it and ran. Cracked part of the header panel where it holds one of the mounting studs to the fender, buckled the fender some, and gouged up the marker lense pretty good. Don't know how it didn't break the lense though.
