So my car's tranny was tripping the engine light -- THANK GOD as that is still covered under my power train warranty, only problem is that I'm without my primary vehicle for a while, as the local ford dealership is backlogged on tranny work orders. I have a back up, but this is the third time I've taken my car in for a myriad of problems and it's barely at 37k miles. Sucks, but at least it should be covered. And I have a car to get me by in the meantime.

What's worse, is that some jerk tried to cut me off this morning into a gas station (on my way to the service department) and he scraped his right side of his lower fuscia (idk what they call that little thing that sticks out of a Lexus right before the front tire) and he blamed it on me. Started taking pics and i was like whoa dude, this was a single lane and you drove between the curb and me. His left side (the side I was on as I was making a legal turn with my signal on) wasn't scratched and my right side was untouched, he got road rash from the curb. But this punk started taking pictures. I got out of my car and went right up to him and watched him get all scared and defensive. I was in attack mode. Trying to put this on me when he was driving like a fool. What if I had my little boy? I might've crushed him then and there. He smelt his own fear. He tried to get loud, but when I rolled up my sleeves and he saw all my scars and tats, he quivered like a little dog. I told him I was about to put him on the ground and to simmer down before it got bad for him. He was in the wrong, not me. I'm honorable, if it's my fault, it's my fault. This dude was some little 20somethimg driving his little car like a banshee.

Any ways, he took his pics of his curb rash, and I did one better. I got a witness to record a statement on my phone. Called my insurance company and they told me he hasn't called. This punk won't. He was driving like an idiot and knew it.

Before he left, I asked for one of his cigs and he gave me one, and I don't even smoke any more lol

After all this, I dropped my car off and that's when they told me the good news (about it being a tranny issue and not engine)

Wow, that sounds like Rick Flair -he got into it with somebody a few years back on Interstate.

Yeah this guy didn't want any, but they're getting me now (trying to) with an insurance claim. They have no chance.

Thankfully I didn't put my hands on him. That would surely have ended worse (for me) than some unscrupulous claim.
