Happy New Year to All!

Recommended Posts

Yea!! Another new year to appreciate and enjoy this fantastic automobile!

 

And to start the new year, some nice old lady wanted a really close look at my car as I was sitting at a stoplight, but unfortunately she didn't stop and (bump) I heard and felt... ughhh. Got out, blocked traffic, took a look, small crease in the bumper but one that you almost need to be looking for in order to see -- so I said Happy New Year to the nice old lady and that was that. I think that was the 4th time I've gotten the love tap like that, oh well life goes on.

You might want to verify that your brake light and tail lights are working. Any chance that you have developed the habit of taking your foot off of the brake pedal while stiiting at a stop light? Anyone with depth perception problems needs the brake light to get their attention.

Nope, never had foot off the brakes -- was sitting at stoplight nice and still and minding my own business.

 

Here is what my dashcam captured, including my response of "damn it" and my wife's response of "jackass"...

Thankfully the height and contour of each bumper spread out the impact area very well and prevented any real damage.

The only mark on the rear bumper cover is that slight crease where her license plate frame made contact.

-- just not a good way to start the new year.

That dashcam is doing it's job, those moments are debatable until the video is shown.

I saw some fireworks new years eve, from my hotel window. Orlando sure shoots off a lot of fireworks on New years. Would I do it again, Oh Hell NO.
