Unhappy First wreck in Evo - ATL.

Well, I wouldn't say wreck, more like a rub. It is like this.

Some yuppie woman with a SUV full of kids was heading same direction as me on a two lane road (Old 41 close to airport headed towards Kennesaw), and the road narrows to a one lane road. So she decides to move over and either doesn't see me or thinks I am going to let her cut in after I have waited at this interesection for 15 minutes.

Anyways, we touched. Our cars were exactly even. Door handle to door handle. My mirror touched her metal door panel near her door handle. My mirror poked a big dent in her door. Dent was very big considering we barely touched. No damage to my mirror. None at all.

Kennesaw PD came and did the report. Her fault of course. I knew it was bcause her lane ended, and merged into mine. Of course it is good when you know all the cops around here on a first name basis.

Score:
Evo VIII - 1
Honda Pilot - 0

How do you know the cops on a first name basis? To get to that point would make me think you've done a lot of overnighter's, or are a cop yourself.



Glad to hear your car is ok. I still can't believe your paint didn't rub.

I am not a cop. I hang out at a shooting range where almost all of the cops go to pratice.

So you didn't have any damage at all? That's pretty cool if you took out an SUV with an Evo.

No damage at all to my car. My right side mirror pressed a two foot long dent into the sheet metal of the drivers door of the SUV. My mirror was not damaged.
