Maybe if you at least bring a chainsaw along then the trees will feel threatened and will stay the hell out of your way this time!

Maybe you should consider changing your signature quote to something like...

"I make cars go fast & got the insurance claims to prove it."

Besides, technically I don't think you guys have graduated to the ranks of "STi killers"... I think you guys can only be charged with maiming at this point.

Listen here, whipper snapper.
I've been driving longer than you've been alive and this is the first insurance claim I have filed for a "my fault" crash.
I can't tell you how many times I've been ran into.

iceman, do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Which applies to Paul, except for the subtle part

Damn... that means that you're about 45. I guess "whipper snapper" is right... I think I remember my grandfather using that term once or twice you old fart. Are you sure that your cataracts didn't act up and obscure your vision while careening through those turns?

You ****** really disappoint me.

-No one calls dibs on any parts off of the carcass.
-No one calls me a ****ing worthless driver, or otherwise mock me.

I don't know what's more pathetic...My obvious lack of driving skillz or y'all's inability to kick a dude when he's down.




Paul, I'm just giving you a little ribbing.... I'm trying to reaffirm a little of your confidence in your fellow i-club members.

Thats the problem with senility(dementia). You old people cant drive. Go buy a new bottle of Makers and drown away any memory of this incident.

Tim, he owns a shop. He's probably not planning on an uninstallfest.

Nah... my incident was on a completely straight road with no timing lights .

BTW, I think I take the win from both of you for my acrobatic rolling performance without a turn in site. And I didn't even need an STI to do it !

Sounds like somebody needs to tell us what REALLY happened, an don't blame jiffy lube this time.

At least Paul was man enough to fess up to having a temporary lack of driving skills
