Well, my bf was taking me for a drive past to Terrigal tonight for something to do .. WHEN - a 18 year old in a Commonwhore ute was being an absolute idiot. He was in the lane next to us with a hilux cab was in front of him - he must of been annoying the hilux in front of him before we got near them because as my bf was almost next to it & the ute was that far up the hilux's ass ... the hilux slammed the brakes on, the commonwhore just turned into us (thinking we were going to become INVISIBLE) making us do a 360 to eventually get us vertical in front of him.
I am starting to think that FTO's just hate me. The truck then this
The damage isn't that bad. The back panel on the passengers side & the door needs to be fixed & resprayed.
Poor FTO

OMG!
u guys alright?! what an absolute dipshit...!
its not u who the fto's hate, its everyone else hating the fto's..
i think we need to invest in putting a bull bar all around your car
as long as u guys are safe n ok, thats the most important thing!

really unfortunate, did you get his insurance details? Maybe you can report him for negligent driving (not sure how effective that'll be).

These are the pictures I took after we got home.
Had the car assessed today & the bill has come up to $3000. I have all his details but this time I'm comp insured so I don't have to deal with it
Should be fixed within 2 weeks & will take about 5 days. They are replacing all 4 tyres because of bald spots from braking - Bonus!
I so agree about a bull bar! It would be much easier .. then I could use the car as a dodgem car considering how much luck I have had with FTO's.
Still love my baby though, wouldn't give it up for the world.

LOL! The only reason why I didn't remove that sticker is because past of it was taking the paint off. I have told them NOT to replace it LOL.
15kw? Isn't it more like 50?
LOLL!
