Your a better man than I. I would have dragged that guy out of his car and beat him silly! Just for being stupid.

Sorry to hear about the car, hope you get a new paint job out of it.

yeah welll actaully thats what i wanted to ask you guys, Anybody do body work?? The ******** hit the drivers side rear fender you know right above the wheel Its not too bad but its dented pretty damn good im wondering how they would fix it like poping it back out or cutting?? I hope not i dont want my 7 to get hacked up. See the thing is if you guys look on your cars the rear fenders arent like the front in which you can simply replace its like a whole piece so how in the F*** are they gonna fix it?? Im gonna find out this friday i have an appointment to have them asess the damage.
You know on a side note the driver was pretty cool about the whole thing i mean he like felt bad for me. After he hit me i was like dude these cars are really rare this kind of **** kills me, hes like man i understand i got a 87 supra that i love. He apologized and said hed cooperate which im hoping he will.

Get a pic, and I'll tell you what they will do. How much of a surface area is dented, and how deep?

More than likely they will pull it out. Welding in a custom panel is VERY labour intensive, and they would have to a) find a donour car to cut one out of, or b) custom bend a piece of sheet metal, both of which require a lot more working then a slide hammer, suction cup, some bondo (yes, it will have filler), and some paint.

You guys are nuts, saying you would beat him "silly".
A) Everyone makes mistakes. How would you like it if someone stabbed you for not shoulder checking?
B) What if he actually ended up kicking the crap out of you? It is obvious you guys don't know what fighting is actually about.

RX-7 drivers never make mistakes and we're always right.

I guess your just gonna have to get a wide body kit since that fender is busted up.

Hey now. we are obviously different type of people. and I would NEVER stab anyone! And if I got my *** kicked thats my own dumbass fault right? But some people need some common sense slapped into them from time to time ... thats just how I live my life. I have way to much time/money/effort into my car to let some careless ***** just run into me free of charge. A accident is a accident just as being careless is being careless, I would have to asses the situation before I jumped out to whoop some ***... I consider myself a 'reasonable' person .. but there are things that will tigger one hell of a temper, and a careless driver smashing my AE would be cause for a *** kicking!

Just as the other driver may have cause to press charges, thats just the risk I take with the choise I make.

One more thing; You don't live a a state where a esitmated 10% of the drivers on the road do not have a valid California drivers license. And a estimated 20%+ do not have inssurance. We have the highest insurance premiums in the nation, here in CA .... cause of all the dipshit drivers. If a few more of them got there asses kicked when they hit people ... there would be alot less accidents, or better yet alot less traffic

True... I'd say maybe .5%-1% of BC drivers do not hold insurance and/or a valid BC driver's license.

As for fighting... I don't believe in fighting out of anger. Fighting is a life/death thing. In the animal kingdom, fight/flight is the only option to survive. Animals never attack out of anger or revenge.

I'm not a animal. We have great emontions like love and anger .. no comparison.

Never said you were an animal, in fact, just the opposite. Animals fight for life or death, humans fight based upon emotion 99% of the time.

As for the lion attacking the other lion, again, that is based upon life or death. In the animal kingdom, life is not only based upon your own, but the ability to procreate and reproduce. He wanted to make offspring, so he attacked the lead lion "pimp" to get action.

Darwin's "survival of the fittest" is proven here, where the stronger lion will remain in the lioness herd and pass on his genetics to the future generations, where as the weaker lion will have his weaker genes lost without the ability to reproduce.

Hey, what ever happened to your happy dancing rotary owner avatar? I loved that guy!
