This is my latest and most bizzare chapter in my offroading adventures, and the most infuriating for me.....
Sunday night, 1:45 am, and I am sitting parked on the trail. Lights on, truck running, but parked. At this point in the trail, there are two paths, kinda of like two one lane roads with a grassy median in between....
Im just sitting minding my own business, on the right side path when someone comes up on the left hand trail and passes me. Its a guy ive seen now for the second (not the last!) time, he drives and early-mid 90s navy blue taco pretty beat up, some 33 at's i think and a bumperor grill guard on it.... Anywho, this guy passes me, goes about 50 ft and then turns over onto my side of the trail. So we are now both on the same path, facing the same direction.... He hits the brakes and throws his truck into reverse..... So at this point im thinking "oh cool, maybe he just wants to shoot the sh|t or whatever......" Well about 49tf linto his reverse I realize that isnt the case as he SLAMS INTO MY TRUCK. Not going FAST, maybe 5 mph.
I instantly start screaming "wtf!" etc etc and he puts the truck into 1st gear and TEARS ASS down the remaining mile or so of trail.... I chase him a short ways, but he was honestly driving BAJA1000 style, catching air and sht. doing easily 50mph (this is an outrageous speed for this trail).
So I sit there on the trail for 2.5 more hours waiting for the motherfvcker to come back and he never does...of course. Like I said its the second time ive seen him on the same trail, he drives like an idiot and is probably pretty heavily intoxicated. I could describe the truck to a T but I didnt get his plate # unfortunately.......
So he hit my truck mostly on the drivers side front bumper, and the damage is minimal..... structurally you cant really even tell I was hit, the bumper TOOK the hit fine... I did lose a little paint on the underside of the bumper, but trust me when I say it sounded and could have been alot worse....im REALLY anal about my truck, esp when it comes to DAMAGE and most ESP when some ******* does it for me.... so its something I can live with for now but not forever.... Ill probably get it fixed eventually.. or just go shrocks...
On to the remedy. I did not call the police the instant it happened for a couple reasons: 1) we were on "no tresspassing" land 2)I had beers with me 3) contraband/paraphanelia/weeds
But that doesnt mean that I cant still call them.... HOWEVER I am feeling that a little old fashioned JUSTICE is in order.
Ive been formulating plan(s).
All result in heavy heavy damage to his truck and or his body, depending on him. At the risk of incriminating myself by typing out potential scenarios ill just let you guys use your imagination
I just wanted to let you guys know that you arent even safe on the trail, of all places ,so always be prepared for the strangest of occurances!
Chapter 2 coming soon......:bash: :bash:
