Exclamation My close call

just wanted to share. I was thinking about taking off the front license plate holder today well I got busy and it never happened. Now the quick story. Sitting at a red light and the guy in front of me puts it in reverse I'm thinking hes going to back into me but before I can put it in reverse he does. Moral of story is because I left my license plate frame on the front of the car I avoided any real damage just a bent plate and a small scratch that I buffed out when I got home. Glad I kept my plate on there. Oh and people can't drive wtf

The exact same thing happened to me this morning. I was pissed! In my own apartment complex too.

An idiot was trying to get out on the main drag and he has zero ***** so it takes him forever. Eventually a runner comes up the sidewalk so he feels obligated to get out of her way by reversing and not looking behind him. Luckily i have the reflexes of a cat and i threw it in reverse and laid on the horn.

Idiots..

Ya well I didn't by the time I hit the horn he was in my bumper. Yes I could have had a mazdaspeed bumper if he had actually damaged my bumper but since it cost 1g to register my car I could argue the plates being worth 500 dollars a piece lol
