Rear ended a cop in an EVO!
Check this out.....
I was traveling northbound on Beach Blvd. (Huntington Beach, Ca.) on 1/13/07. It was a beautiful evening about 6:45 PM or so. I was in the #1 lane, and at a dead stop. I remember it vividly!!! I was waiting at a red light with three cars stopped in front of me. I was enjoying the sound of "painkiller" from Judas Priest on my Alpine very, very, very LOUDLY (It's always loud when my 2 year old son isn't in the car). Well thank god my little guy was not with me that night.
The light had phased to green, and the cars in front of me began to accelerate. Just as I was putting the car into first gear (foot on brake and clutch), ........BAM!!! I was rear ended!! As I step out of my car I notice that my back window is shattered, and my trunk is pushed into the rear window. Both quater panels are trashed, AND YES...the wing survived beautifully!! The truck behind me was a 05' Toyota Tundra. He was stopped completley. The Toyota was rear ended by a Lexus RX430 (suv). My Evo (in front) was stopped, the Toyota was stopped, and the Lexus was doing 45 MPH....and did not even hit his brakes! My car is trashed....($12,500.00 of damage), the Lexus is totaled, and the Tundra needs a new front bumper cover. Luckily no one needed immediate medical treatment. I however still have minor back trouble (nothing that physical therapy can't fix). The driver OF THE Lexus was in the best shape! The Lexus had more airbags than a lowrider convention in East Los Angeles!!!
The point is.....
Repair of an evo after a accident..........$12,500.00
Billing the at fault insurance company for medical coverage......$20,000.00 (plus)
The look on the face of the at fault driver, after telling him that your a off duty cop.........PRICELESS!!!
Don't worry...I was truly nice to the guy, I even sent flowers to him and his wife....(he was obviously late to her birthday party that night)...

Sounds good.... BUT I have to hold onto my pension! Hell.....one of my old partners rear-ended a car load of "gangbangers" in South Central LA last week! Accidents happen....getting pissed truly makes it worse....BUT pistol whipping may be more gratifying..

Thanks... it may be premature....BUT aside from a new RECARO car seat for my son...I will have to make a wish list of mods when the settlement arrives!
