[Mystake]

... car has been pulling left. Needs a bunch of suspension work, unrelated to the ditch incident.

Coming back from Canadian Tire, I was cut off by someone making a left turn. I slammed on the brakes and it was a toss up of either smacking into the front right/passenger door of a ford Expedition or I yank the steering wheel to the right and hope I stop on time.

I didn't stop on time, I went right into the curb/snow bank.

I finished off the rest of my bumper and possibly the radiator. At LEAST, the radiator mounts need replacing, the rad has been bent back.

Before the car can go for an alignment, it needs a total of 557$ worth of work done to it. Outer tie rod end, stabilizer bar endlinks and rear drum/hub assembly because the bearing is out; i can jiggle the wheel around when the car is lifted.

What a great fucking day.


edit: forgot to mention, the driver of the expedition booked it. I went after him; because I did this I was not able to get any witnesses. When the asshole finally pulled over, I had just dialed 911 to report him. I hung up because he pulled over. 5-0 calls me back, as the asshole is saying 'i didnt cut you off', i told him 'hold on its the cops' and he floored it away.
i got his plates an all, but still. What a fucking cunt. What can the police get him for? Making an illegal turn? Leaving scene of accident?

The officer who responded was very, very nice to me though. My insurance papers were expired so 2weeks+1 day ago, I called my company and had them email me a temp insurance papers. I printed them off, they last 2 weeks. Today was 2weeks+1day, so the officer gave me a warning for lack of insurance. Said it was a reminder to take care of getting valid insurance papers "which you already seem to be doing".
Again, officer was very nice.



i should be clear, the car only pulled left noticably once. If it weren't for that one stretch of road, I would not have noticed it. As I drive it now I don't really notice it pulling.
