Hail TJM

Well this weekend my TJM definately paid for its self after leaving a club one night...

So all my 6 friends pile into the runner after a good night at this club we frequent on river street in Savannah. I pull onto the road (which is cobble stone) and there is a new(est) model eclipse in front of me and is seriously going 5mph. I patiently follow until it started to get old. So I slowly start to get closer behind him you know... to let him know I'm there (the one time having headlights up so high can be a good thing) and then he stops. I stop, still with plenty of room. And he puts his car into reverse for half a second and then back in drive... waits a minute and then continues forward for about 5ft. Hits the brakes again and again puts the car into reverse. (I have not yet moved from the first stop) But this time he starts to actually move back, faster, faster, ok... hes not stopping. There isn't really much I could do until... you guessed it. I could barely feel it. But he backed right into me!! Everyone in the car was just dumbfounded... I couldn't believe that that had happened. He then takes off, so I figured he was probably drunk. The only problem is that he didn't realize he was backing up into a lifted steel bumper. His entire rear end was messed up and not a scratch was left on the TJM. The hangers got ever so slightly bent, that was easiliy fixed. I could have chased him down, but all my friends who were all would have wanted to start fights etc, and I knew I had already rocked his world once, I figure that was enough. I SO wish I had it on camera though. He didn't even hit his brakes, what a f'n moron. Hes lucky I did have that bumper otherwise it could have gotten real bad real quick. Oh well... the score still stands.

im sure that wouldve happened to me at some point if i ever drove to the bars... luckily im in the city so we take cabs, and all of us can drink (heavily).

glad to hear it worked out for you... i just wish that a$$ would be caught for drunk driving. you shouldve called the police for that reason....
