First off that would probably trigger one of my rare rages and first I would have to control myself. Then I'd demand he pay every penny of my car. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but if her ran into me from the back, he is the one responsible.

But that is the reason I always pay extra close attention to other trafficants, and why I don't tailgate that much. I'd rather burn past someone then annoy them by driving up their asses.

To my knowledge it is the same here. If you rearend someone, you are automatically at fault.

I don't necessarily think that should be the case though. If the person in front of you slams on their brakes for an animal and you hit them, well that's their fault.

But I rarely tailgate either. I try to stay a little further back just in case.

When your backing out of a space and hit someone then its your fault even if you didnt see them. Any other rear end collision is the fault of the paerson who was tailgating and not paying attention.

Bruno · 12-19-2007, 10:27 AM

Take it to Hooters and have the ladies pose with it for pics

J/K. I'll definitely be driving it around to share my joy with friends. Will be hard to adhere to breakin (if theres a suggested one).

Fun story actually, my ex's dad always tailgated, but he was the slowest driving man you've ever seen on the road, I don't know how he did it!

To bad his daughter was nuts, he was a great guy to be around.

Not always the case.

Not ALL the time is this true. There are occassions in which the only reason the accident occurred was due to the unnecessary actions of the driver in front of them. Or driverless actions...but that's another story!

AND ANOTHER THREAD.

Well to get back on topic,

My first 24-hours will probably be worn with a nonstop smile on my face and my bumblebee T-shirt on.

I say that because it will be a commemoration to a personal acheivement when I pull off the lot with my new toy. To be followed with plenty of pics and a video of the birth.

Dark Eric · 12-27-2007, 11:21 PM

Well I'm going to show mine off to family and friends. I'm going to drive EVERYWHERE during the break in period to kill time lol. I'm going to take plenty of pics of it, I'm going to make sure pick up is as early as possible! My new garage roof is ready and waiting fior my Camaro.

I hope its gonna be Navy Blue-metallic with chrome wheels (19s or 20s), or at the very least Black or Silver if Navy Blue is not available. If available I'm having the Chevy symbol changed to SS. I want to make sure I'm the first in my neighborhood with it.

CamaroFever · 12-27-2007, 11:55 PM

I going to let my top down, I dont care if its raining, snowing, etc, and play T.I. as loud as possible, and drive around all day picking up chicks

09fathomgreen · 12-30-2007, 05:01 PM

If I get mine in Denver, take it on a cruise up, and then down Lookout Mountain and Bear Creek Canyon, followed by a trip home to show it off to my Mom and sisters. Mom'll probably be the first passenger to get a ride because the sisters are both Mustang fanatics.
I'll follow that up by just driving, and taking time to look at the car.

Jeff · 12-30-2007, 06:43 PM

When I get my hands on one.. it will definitely be driven through the hill country during the day, once the sun sets I'm going camping.......

in the Camaro in my garage of course!

well I plan to take a week of leave right after I get mine. but the first 24hrs I'm going to probably drive it around and show her off to friends and family and then that evening I'm going to have a cook out and just put some chairs out in the front yard with a nice cigar and bottle of jack daniels i'm going to sit there and stair at her for the next few hours. admiring how perfect she is.

<- loco

Sounds like a plan to me... Come up here and we will go to the Tail of the Dragon.. Me in the Sky and you in the Camaro....
