Stop trying, no one believes you.

The pictures made the thread for me. The first one makes it obvious where the story's heading, but there's still hope that it'll turn out differently. Then the second picture hits. I especially like how the second one doesn't show the damage done to the car, the point of impact, or anything other than the run-over lizardman.
Not only are those stock SHO rims, but the front tag has the dealer advertisement on it and you can read "buy here pay here" on the reflection of the car.Stairs said:My beautiful car. Okay, assholes, I was using hyperbole when I said it was a pussy-magnet. I was trying to bring some much needed levity to the situation.
That said, I do love my car.
Pretty amazing... :lol :lol :lol

you are a fucking idiot. you ran over his dog and you want him to pay. you are probably one of those people who spills hot coffee on yourself and you want to sue the coffee company. What an idiot. If you would have run over my dog and drove off i would beat the living shit out of you.
Stairs said:I love my car, I really do. It's a beautiful 2003 Ford Taurus that I've kept in pristine condition since it was handed down to me by generous parents. I've put a lot of money and work into her over the past half-decade. Custom interior, great sound system, some engine tweaks, a tasteful set of rims--none of that spinner shit--you name it, I've put it in there. Not too brag, but it was a veritable pussy-magnet.
Today, though, I'm worried that my baby may never be the same. Stupid fucking dog.
So, the story: This morning, I'm leaving my house for work, and I'm running late--which is an all together common occurrence. In order to combat my habitual lateness, I pull into my driveway headlights first whenever I park, and I just back into my neighbor's driveway across the street. That way, I'll be able to pull out of my driveway and be on my way to work at lightning speeds.
To illustrate:
Now, my neighbor knows that I do this. He hasn't given me his blessing, exactly, but he hasn't told me not to, either. Said neighbor also has a big, dumb dog. A big, dumb dog that likes to pee on my mailbox, too.
This morning, however, my stupid neighbor lets his dog out earlier than usual, and the big oaf was sitting in the driveway. I did not bother to check for it when pulling out of my driveway and in to his, because the dog has never been let out before. So, when I pulled into his driveway, I ran the stupid thing over--I was already going pretty fast, too.
Again, to illustrate:
At the time, I was already running really late, so I did not have time to get out and assess the damage, but I figured that the dog couldn't do too much damage. I was wrong. On my way to work, I noticed a loud rattle coming from the back of my car. I, of course, did not have time to stop, but I was determined to get to a mechanic after work. Apparently, when I hit it the dog did a lot of damage to the undercarriage of my car. $1235 dollars worth of damage. I was (am) pissed.
When I finally got home from the mechanic, and after having suffered the shell shock of paying the bill, I decided to pay my neighbor a visit. I assumed he would apologize and would reimburse me for the damage to my car. Again, I was wrong.
The asshole told me--while crying--that not only would he not pay my bill, but that I was also forbidden from pulling into his drive way again. WTF!
So, here I am, seeking legal advice; I would have visited a lawyer already, but I can't afford it yet after paying that damn repair bill. GAF, what are my options, sue? Can I hit him with an extra emotional damage claim for damaging my precious car?
Thanks.

"2003 Ford Taurus" and "Pussy-Magnet"
You lost me on your trolling when you used both of those words in the same paragraph. I didn't even bother reading the rest for I already knew you are full of shit.
You are very bad at this, maybe you should take the time and read a few more Troll OPs before you try to make your own.
I did enjoy viewing your shitty MS paint illustrations though, so not all is wasted, thanks!

At least he took the care and detail to pick more or less the same colour as in his frogger illustration.
That's gotta count.

I knew this was a troll thread as soon as he said his 2003 Ford Taurus was a "pussy magnet". One of the ugliest cars ever.

This has got to be a joke. And a bad one. Nice try.
Stairs said:
But, seriously though, no, I'm probably not going to give up. It's fucking ridiculous that I have to pay that much for something that isn't really my fault.
So, yeah, I'll keep fighting it; I'll make an appointment with one of those billboard attorneys tomorrow.
#1 I guess I will bite, but I am 99% sure this is all bullshit
#2 In the event that this is a real post, and I pray to god it's not, you are a complete fucktard. You have no recourse, if anything this guy should sue the fuck out of you for the loss of his dog. That dog was laying down in the driveway, not moving, and on his owners property. You drove onto his property and hit his dog, killing it. If the dog ran out onto the street and you were unable to miss it, you might have a case.
#3 If I were the other guy, I would have gone to jail shortly after you knocked on my door asking for money. I would have fucking beat the living shit out of you until you were possibly brain damaged. The adrenaline rush would have been satisfying, probably not worth it in the long run, but I would definitely not have been able to control myself at that moment. Just the thought of it brings a smile to my face and it wasn't even my dog. Damn is it satisfying just imagining your head being bashed against the pavement....I am a very peaceful person usually, but this would be a breaking point.
#4 I would really like to figure out where this "isn't really my fault" mentality comes from. YOU HIT A FUCKING STATIONARY OBJECT BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN NEGLIGENCE. That is ALWAYS your fault. Regardless of what you think.
edit: And to echo everyone else's statement, all Ford Tauruses are pieces of shit with the exception of the current model year. Those are just barely acceptable. You might have a case with a mid-90s SHO, but only sort of.

He never told me that I could not use his driveway to turn around in. He must have some responsibility to do so. Also, he stupidly let his dog out. It's not my fault that he wasn't watching it carefully enough. Not only that, but the dog may have been leaving the driveway to go pee on my fucking mailbox again.
Stairs said:
He never told you that you COULD use his driveway. It's not his job to make sure to tell everyone not to. You hit a stationary thing. End of story. I am a claims adjuster, I deny claims like this every day. Well, not with dogs, but with other non-moving things. Dumb ass.
God, why do I even respond.

I knew it was a joke post at ford taurus.

I'm not trying to file an insurance claim on the asshole. I'm trying to sue him, possibly for negligence.
I may have a case that he maliciously left his dog out, so that I would hit it. He (my neighbor) has been very unfriendly towards me ever since I refused to buy his kid's stupid fund raising shit.
