Default Old Z71 hit me tonight

My girlfriend and I was riding through Cleveland tonight and this older green Z71 was beside me. I notice him getting closer and closer, so I jacked on the brakes. I feel a slight thud and I go up on the side curb. I pulled into the next parking lot and this guy keeps going. I say to myself hell no, so I give chase and pull his *** over. I jump out pissed and he gets out. Damn highschool kid. I like, "f#ck dude, you just hit my F%cking truck!" He knew I meant business. He was saying he was sorry, blah, blah,. I go and look at my truck and all it did was knock my mirror(spring loaded) out of its mounting place and put two little scratches on it. I just knew it had jacked up the whole side of my truck, but when I saw that, I cooled off a ton. Funny thing is the lowering kit saved me on that one. I jacked bed up pretty bad with a long *** scratch down the side. That was about the only thing( and him being scared to death) that kept me from beating the hell out of him for not stopping. His reason for hitting me was he dropped his phone and reached over to pick it up. He needs to learn how to drive that **** and maybe the scratch down the side will help him out some.

I hope you didnt let that little **** go. At least get your truck fixed if you arent going to bring it to the attention of the police. Little ****** just kept going??!! You are a better man than I, my friend. You did the right thing and he is lucky that you are such an upstanding person. Many I know, myself included, would not have handled things that way. So whats up with the repair work??!!

Damn dude that sucks big time. Glad its just minor but that the point is lil bastard kept going. I would of not been as calm im real causious about my truck and people being around it even. It sounds like you handled it the mature way though and i give you props on that. Was the kid drunk or what?? People down here need to learn how to drive too-damn.

Luckily, all it did was two little scratches on my painted mirror. I have a little bit of my touch up paint left, so it will be fixed tomorrow. They're like an inch long at most. If you would have seen how scared this kid was, you would have know why I didn't jack him up. I jumped out like I was going to kill his ***. I smelled no booze, so I really do believe his story about dropping his phone. I bet he leaves that **** on the floor next time. I feel that the truck really dodged a bullet tonight. I did love the look on his face when I was headed toward his ***, though.

He did make me change my avatar though!

Either way, you handled that like a responsible adult and you should be proud. I handled things very poorly when a guy left his shopping cart against my truck after loading his groceries a couple weeks ago. I waited up all night for the police to come. They never did luckily.

I would have still asked for insurance info ... just so it would have been fixed right.

You did get lucky though, no doubt.

Nice avater.

i think you ran into him. and tried to to duck off the road real quick, then you realized you didn't do much damage and decided to push your luck. then you chased him down, and tried to turn the table on him. thats what i think happend. oh yea, when you said you got out of the truck and walked up to him, that was really your g/f you were talking about. she was the one who was standing tall while you were hiding behind your seat in your new found area without that big speaker box.




hope you enjoyed my rendition
