Not happy...
:whipped:
Sitting in 99th and 31st ave today... A semi in the left lane. We thought nothing of it at all. Another guy was driving my car, so I was sitting shotgun. We're trying to turn northbound onto 99th street. Then buddy in the semi starts making a "wide right turn"...
...
RIGHT INTO MY FUCKING CAR!!!!!
...
Guy driving starts honking, but the truck driver can't hear us. We both turn and look over our shoulders as the trailer looms closer, closer... both give a nice "Ohhhhhh, FUCK!" and we duck.
CRUNCH!
Truck stops. Drivers side is under the trailer. I'm steaming fucking mad. Passenger in semi gets out. I get out from my side.
First thing out of my mouth: "Holy shit, buddy, you can't fucking see me here!??!!" :guns:
I was totally lost... so pissed, yet unable to do a damn thing about it. After about a half hour of bullshit, he finally backed the semi off my car, and thank God, but it's driveable. Totally fucked, but drivable. So we go to Millwoods EPS station to make our report. Turns out truck guy forgot his trailer registration and his Tractor registration was out of date. The cop looks at him and she goes: "Jeez, I should give you a ticket for this too..."
We did all the paperwork BS, and she (the cop) said that the trucker will probably be at fault, since it's his responsibility to make sure his "pinch zone" is clear all the way through the turn. There was no turn signal, no "this vehicle makes wide right turns" decal on the back of the truck. We thought he was going left because he was way over in the oncoming traffic lane.
Fucking douchebag. By car is totally wrecked now... I'll have to see if insurance will fix it, or write it off.
Here's couple pics, too....

Grrr... needs a new left rear quarter panel, new sideskirt and new roof. Probably an alignment as well, since he pinched the rear left wheel a bit too...
Jesus, I'm pissed right now....
