Got rear-ended

MSportDC · 06-25-2013, 11:48 AM

By some woman at a red light while waiting to make a left turn. She tried to argue with me insisting that no damage had occurred. I have to stop driving into bad zip codes, all I wanted was a tasty bowl of hot pho to fight off my cold. So deflated right now...

So Sorry dude! You got any pics of the damage?

We are still awaiting the re-delivery of my M5, but when we got the X5 Diesel, in 2 days we already got it damaged. We were so upset we didnt even want nice car anymore. A truck on the turnpike had its tire blow out and the remains of the tire flew right into the X5 damaging the bumper.

Hope your alright. Time will heal your wounds.

WHAT THE PHO!!! Sorry I had to do it

h4nh · 06-25-2013, 01:06 PM

did you get to have your bowl of pho?

PatrickC23 · 06-25-2013, 01:13 PM

Yesterday at a light I was watching as this woman behind me texted on her phone, I really wanted to get out and smash her phone to pieces. Sorry about your ride dude.

RPiM5 · 06-25-2013, 02:10 PM

I would have Pho'k'd that woman up!

Pho'k what bad luck.

Rob///M5 · 06-25-2013, 02:34 PM

It's pretty staggering how many of us, just on this M5 board alone, have had these kinds of accidents (me included). What the phok is wrong with people? I do think texting is a massive problem...it's really the only explanation for such crap driving.

Sorry about the damage

How many of you replied to this thread from your mobile device while driving? Be honest.

Sorry to hear that! That pho'king sucks. Where in DC? I get nervous just driving around M St these days...so many people running the red light on the key bridge! Hope you get your car fixed soon.

Sorry to hear about your ride. Honestly, it doesn't matter where you are around here b/c everyone seems to think their car is some sort of coffee shop on wheels with all of the headphones, mobile make-up artists, fat bastard wannabe's eating, texting and book reading (yes, you read that right) that goes on around here. The crazy thing is that they look at you like you have a problem when you look at them...SMH...

That is the one that just perplexes me the most...how on Earth can someone drive and frigging read a book at the same time.

That's nothing. I once saw some idiot playing a musical instrument and driving at the same time. I think it was a trumpet. I gave him a dose of my instrument as I flew by him, the symphony of the S85 V10!

Dude, that is unreal. But completely plausible here in CA. Did he just happen to be driving his Prius too? HAHAHA!!!

Yes I did and needless to say, it was not enjoyable...

This happened in Laurel, MD - I work around Columbia, MD and there is a decent pho joint in the ghetto (no offense to anyone who lives in Laurel, it was the "bad" part, basically run-down strip malls and Bingo if you get my drift)

Thanks for the support everyone - it just sucks even more because my car was at the dealership for an entire month waiting on a replacement "ICM module" from Germany and this happens after receiving the car back literally 4 days after. What the pho'k indeed...
