Holy Flipping truck Batman! oh and the accident, damn poor car :(
So I took the t-maxx out for a rip again tonight, a little more tuning and a little more zip. Needless to say when I had the throttle wide open and was coming over a hill I was usually doing a wheelie on the way down. Hit a few dips that I can only assume were gopher holes, these would launch me into the air and on a few occasions I would land bumper first and my truck would be thrown into an end over end flip. Well okay like a dozen flips lol, man I was so sure something would break after that but nothing! it landed on its wheels and I kept ripping lol.
My new parts arrived today too, some aluminum skid plates and a new body (hummer h2). Im planning a candy red to black fade paint job for the hummer, should be sweet. I still have my dual exhaust coming in as well as a couple more aluminum parts hehe.
So today I was returning to work from lunch break, as I went into the left turning lane about a car length in I guess somebody was sick of waiting in rush hour traffic and turned left into me. So im driving and suddenly hear this noise and feel a shake. I hit the brakes and look back seeing this silver kia rio with its driver side peeking out from the traffic. My car seems to be moving fine and does the kia, so I gesture to follow me. We pull into the city hall parking lot to see what happened. I asked if they were alright and they asked me the same. Everyone was okay which is most important, but near the end of my passenger door all the way to the bumper is scraped and dented. This includes my rim on the rear of right of my car :( Her drivers light corner is dented and marked up. Lucky she only grazed me.
So I call the cops and we went to the station to make our statements. She was moving from a different province and was on probation here. So I think that means her chance of getting a license for the next year or so is gone. They wanted me to say that her mom (who was in the passenger seat, did I mention that? no. Well she was) was driving and not the daughter for insurance reasons. I said I would rather not, plus her insurance should cover the daughter. Of course not thinking about the fact the daughter would prob lose her license. Of course I still wouldnt have said that. Last thing I need to do is lie on the report and get busted, ya I dont think so.
So I went to the insurance company im under and filed the report with them re-stating the above stuff. The inspection is next thursday, so that was my afternoon. Hopefully the rest will go smoothly and they dont try to change things or something. That would really suck, she was on probation, hit me, and thats it really. It sucks for sure, but it happens.

That's awesome man, that RC must be so much fun. You will have to post some pics of it when you get it done.
Way to take that little girls license away... you prick. lol, I would have done the same, she should learn and this is the only way. What would having lied done? She would have learned nothing... stupid people FTL
True, and the fact that she was driving in alberta for a while before this maybe means its for the best. You have to pay attention on the road at all times.
The truck is awesome man, I will get some pics up soon. I have ordered a new air filter and some more aluminum chasis parts for support hehe.
