Okay, this is freaking retarded. 2MFF, you're condescending to everyone on this page. You say you would have either "stop or hit" the guy that pulled out? You're honestly telling me that when you're going 35 or so and someone pulls out directly in front of you, and i'm not saying 100 feet or even 50 feet in front of you, less than two car lengths in front of you you're going to be able to stop in that distance? Hell no, even if you had the reflexes there's no way you would stop without hitting them. And I like my car, it may not be the best car in the world, but it's mine, I like it. So my first reaction is to protect my car. Yes, I swerved into the left lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me because it was a reflex, not because I calculated which would be cheaper right then, but because I know it's better not to hit someone than to hit them. I'm glad I swerved instead of hitting the guy. I'm not too happy about hitting the curb, but I could not keep from it. I'm not trying to make excuses, but the road was sandy from the cold weather we've had. There is quite a bit of sand on the roads. That's not even the point though, you say you would just hold the wheel straight and slam on the brakes and hope you don't hit them? If that's what you learned in your "solo2 and solo1 experience" then you're a freaking moron. Oh yeah, and about the pull-a-part parts. I paid $15 dollars for parts that at a dealer cost $350+. They're used but the axle is straight, with no damage and hey, if you want to spend hundreds on a part you can get for $15 then that's your thing man. But, you're an idiot if you do. I would love to buy a car from a junk yard for $100 and put a built motor in it and **** up your Solara, your Camry, your two mustangs and you two fucked up F cars too. Why do you think more money = better quality? Dumbass.
