Yep, I was a victim of road rage today in downtown Allentown. Some dumbass in a late model 750iL cut me off so much that I had to slam on my brakes. A couple of lights down, we both make a right onto a street, but I wasn't going to do anything, because, well, why? Anyway, we both get to a red traffic light and he gets into the left lane to make a left and I stay in my lane to continue onto my destination up ahead. Both our cars stopped next to each other, windows down, him with raggaeton blasting and I yell, "use your f**king turn signals next time". he yells something back, but the light turns green and I just left. He abruptly cuts somebody off to chase me to the strip mall I was heading to (I was heading to the bank) and I saw what he was doing. I get out my cell phone to call 911 just in case. Anyway, I go to park, but never get into my spot, he pulls up next to me and parks his car and quickly gets out. "b****, get outta your car" he yells. I get out the cell phone to take a pic b/c I see he isn't armed, then he yells, "I'm going to kill you b****". I took a snap and TOOK OFF. I wasn't going to stick around and wait for the cops. Right after I take off, the dumbass throws something hard at my car and damages it. I didn't stop, like I said, I just wanted to get out of there.
Headed to my parents house about 15 min away and called the police. I tell them a guy cuts me off, chases me down b/c I yelled at him, tells me that he is going to kill me, then damages my cars by throwing something at my car. The police officer tells me to come downtown to make/file a report.
I head downtown to police headquarters, tell an officer to what happened and gave them pictures that I printed out (damages to my car AND the perp and his car). He pretty much tells me that if I hadn't yelled at him, none of this would've happen. OF course, this is true, but even if I insulted his mother, he didn't have the right to threaten to kill me OR damage my car.
What irks me is that my 2 year daughter is sometimes with me, what if she was with me and his guy had hit the window?? He would've smash it and injured her. NO doubt if that had happened, I would've tried to ram the son of a b****............. yeah yeah, I know, but it didn't happen. Whatever.
You guys have no idea how much I want to see this guy burn.
changing gears:
Anyway, the same body shop that I took my 4Runner to a couple of days to fix the bumper (that a valet damaged). Luckily, they said it would buff off and they would try a dent removal procedure (tech goes to the inner part of the door and uses a tool to smooth out the dent). As you can see in the pics, it's not bad. I'd rather they try that than to repaint the door which pretty much means they will also paint the quarter panel AND front door to color match. That will cost at least a grand. This procedure was quoted at $95.
Called my insurance just in case to let them know what happened in case the dent removal procedure doesn't work. $95 vs. $250 deductible.
Anyway, I'm a believer in Karma and boy is this pile of shit going to get it.
I have a pic of the perp and his shitty car, but probably best NOT to post. I don't know who he is and how this MIGHT blow up in my face.
damage:
