My Poor Pink Car!

I think that it might be over for my awesome pink Geo. Last night we were showing our friends how to get from the Stadium 8 theater over to the highway so they could go back to Brigham. We got to the stop sign to turn onto the highway and they headed for the left turn lane and we took the right lane to head home well Idiot (yes it is capitalized) in the straight lane decided that he was going to turn right and almost took off our bumper. Normally I'd feel a little bit of sympathy for an Idiot who hits a police officer, in front of another police officer, but not this guy. When the Logan officer showed up Idiot tried to tell him that he thought he was far enough into the right lane. Lie. We were in the right lane with at least a foot and a half between us and the curb. At this point Tony (Nolan's corporal) pointed out that Idiot was right next to him, not even slanted towards the right, but facing dead ahead (Facing dead ahead with no blinker on is usually a sign that the driver intends to go straight, right?) Then Idiot tried to play the "I couldn't see them, they were in my blind-spot" card, which might have worked if he hadn't followed it up with "I thought it was a pile of snow"...   ...   ...   Seriously? Well Idiot ended up getting sited which will help our claim but the night wasn't over. It turns out that Idiot left his hazard lights on but turned off his car. That's right, his battery died!! To end the evening Tony ended up facing the wrong way in traffic to jump start Idiot's car.  It was really quit an entertaining evening if you don't count the part where our car is probably totaled.

I think, all things considered, the Idiot is lucky Tony and Nolan didn't take justice into their own hands and shoot him!

Oh no, not the pink car! She gave you a good ride. Too bad to say farewell to her. Glad you guys are fine!
One question, did Idiot ever know that he had just hit a police officer and that the witness was a police officer? Just wasn't his day, was it?

Sad and funny all at the same time. Reminds me of my old Geo...she was green. Ahhh the memories!
