Some of you may have been familiar with a thread I started a while ago about my nieces who ran my car into a garage. Some of you may recall threads from The Winter Of Our Lost Content where I complained about my car being hit alot. Last night at about 2 am I was sitting in my living roomwith my buddy. All fo teh sudden I hear what sounded like a semi dropping its load on the ground. I looked out of my window to be greeted with nothing, but empty street. This normally would have been no cause for alarm, except for one thing. My car had been parked in front of my house. Maybe I just wasn’t looking hard enough. Surely my car was still there. Me:Marco, where is my car? Marco: It ahs to be there Me:ummmmmm where is my car (slightly hysterical) Marco:… So I ran downstairs. Still no car. Which is odd because I normally remember the last place i left my car.So I step out into the street and see anotehr car, smoke coming from the hood. “thatnk goodness"I thought- thats not my car- poor bastard. But the mystery remained, where is my car? I was pretty sure I left it in the street. I started walking towards the smoking car. Something caught my eye up in the distant, the light was glinting off of what looked to be an abstract art piece. " How lovely” I thought “the neighborhood has an interest in art”. getting closer I note that the art piece was red, Hmmm Just like my car. But that can’t be my car! because I left my car in front of the fucking house. And on top of that this is in my neighbors yard, more than 100 ft from where I had parked my car. While reality was bodychecking me, the driver from the other car was laying on the ground. Apparently reality already kicked his ass in the form of a bloody head wound. I ran over to help him up. This dude was so drunk. He implored me not to callthe police but to call his Gf because she had insurance and that he had just got out of jail. Marco went to call the police. Ol Dude ran. I wuold have tackled him, but for some odd reason I thought I would have went to jail. My neighbors chased him but he made it into someones house, where the police are still trying to get him to turn himself in. The owner of the car miraculously shows up. She somehow just knew where to find the accident. Car was stolen of course and she wants to press charges. She let her daughter use te car and she showed up. My worst nightmare realised. It was A girl I used to know. Well if know can be translated to mean: girl who used to whoop your ass in highschool because you were not ebonically correct and was trying to be white and loved nothing better than to try and snatch you baldheaded. In the long run no one was hurt to badly. but they could have been. If anyone had been in my car I doubt they would have lived. The officer told me he hestimated the driver to be doing 80 to 90 miles per hour. he could have killed somebody. It could have been me in my car, I had just been seriously contemplating going tot get something to eat. It could have been anyone in my car, my nieces, such as the poster formerly known as SweetSensation(who is the niece who crashed my car into the garage) there were car seats in the back of his car. he could have had babies with him. There could have been regular joe Schmo walking down the street. he could have rant directly in to a house. Dude what were you thinking? I know this is the pit, but I am not up to flaming at the moment, so here are some random cuss words feel free to insert themw here you will fuck shit cumdumpster goat felcher smega eater fucking mother fucker ---

Well, look at it this way; after the insurance company sends you the check, you get to enjoy the new car smell all over again! ---

I posted this same rant a year ago September. I’m sure you’ve consoled yourself the same way I did: “Well, if he was so drunk that he had to hit something, better it be my empty truck than a car full of people.” My hit&run culprit evaded justice also. So tonight I’m lurking outside and venting my rage on anyone who tries to smash my pumpkin. ---

Get some old, used tires; and use ropes to hang them all around the car like a skirt. Then, in addition to protecting your car from dumbbells, you could play bumpercars on the freeway. 😃 ---

Another questionable story. I don’t think i believe you, Potsy. Especially after seeing that your “niece” (read:you pretending to be someone else) was “banned” for doing the same thing. ---

Especially after seeing that your “niece” (read:you pretending to be someone else) was “banned” for doing the same thing. You may have forgotten since registering all those hours ago, but [Any user who feels a posted message is objectionable should contact the moderators of the affected forum by email.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126371). If you are accusing someone of breaking board rules by having a second username…that likely falls under that rule (I was gonna say figure it out for yourself, but I’m not sure you could). I’ve seen all your posts about getting hassled for having differing opinions. _You are not having differing opinions, you are calling people liars._ Sometimes about the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. :rolleyes: ---

oh wow I read alot of that wrong. No I am not my niece- I just thought it was an interesting point that the last person who crashed my car into something is also a poster on the board. While I am at it, even thought alot of what she posted was dumb and annoying as far as I know it was also all true. She was sharing a username with her friend Bruna. You can look back over my posts and gather that i am not a slightly brain dead 15 year old. but if anyone is really worried that I am pretending to be two people feel free to contact the mods- who will sort it out for you I am sure, Maybe I should not mention that I know any other posters in real life, so I don’t get accused of being them too. ---

I don’t want you to think that I was also accusing you of being/having a sock, **DN**. I’d just rather people who really really had to make sockpuppet accusations keep it off the board. Doubly so ever since I got my best friend to sign up after several months of trying and she got accused of being a sock after her second post. (And not even of being _my_ sock!)
