Today I got T-Boned...
Today Stefan and I were driving to Big Lots (a super rad ghetto discount store) to pick up some new bins for the ever growing Vicious Enterprises inventory. I put on my blinker to turn into the strip mall and watched in horror as some moron slowly creeps out into the street...stops...then guns it into the side of my car...
Normally, I am a very level headed person, but the fact that this is the 1st car I've purchased in cash AND I recently spent almost $5K getting it totally pimped out, I exploded into a profanity-laced tirad as soon as that Ford Explorer hit the side of my car. Luckly for the driver of the other car, Stefan was with me and immediately hopped out to deal with the situation as I'm still cussing at the top of my lungs.
He hit us hard enough for us both to say, "Oh shit...", and it looked like he hit the car smack dab in between the front driver side quarter panel and the driver side door, so I was already calculating the damage cost in my head before I even saw it (r&r front quarter + r&r driver door + possible rim and tire damage + paint blend x 5 because it's a BMW = $12,000. Gee, working in the auto damage department at GEICO is all coming back to me...). I regained enough composure to jump out and look at the damage...
There was no damage. Not even a tiny scratch. Stefan and I inspected the car twice and we couldn't believe it. The must have hit us square in the front wheel where there is a 1/2" piece of plastic that frames the wheel well, because there literally is not a scratch or dent on the paint. Although, the alignment feels slightly off, so they may have hit the actual rim, but an alignment is only $60.
Nonetheless, very strange...

This was truly a horrific moment. I am still in awe at the fact that there was absolutely no damage to the truck. They hit us pretty hard...I don't even see damage to the plastic strip around our tire. I think their bumper hit our rim/tire since we were starting to turn left and they hit us on the left front side.
Summers profanity was like the "shot heard around the world", luckily there were no schools near by that are open on Sundays. :-)
Say it with me....
"bawbag"

Glad there wasn't much damage at all. Jesus must have been looking after your beamer. =P
NO...F#cK! <- That was my initial reaction... Still... That's both amazing and craptaculous. Glad everything seems ok. Mysterious, yes, but supremely fortunate. Thank Dieity(s)-of-Choice. What Shittards.
