    Putting aside for a second my long held belief that people who drive Jags are simply flawed people, this dipshit raked his whole car down the driver's side front of my truck trying to pull into a curbside spot that was two spots in front of me, with a open spot in between. Once he made contact he just kept driving in slow motion until had scraped the length of his car, rather than stop, and/or steer left. It sounded terrible, and I was prepared for the worst. I'm on Ray 10's, so not overly aggressive, but that -10 offset meant that all he hit on my truck was tire. Alignment seems fine as well.

    Yeah but how did the Ray 10s fare? Those are harder to replace than some janky jaguar.

    Pretty much what you'd expect an old coot Jag owner to do. He took his sweet ass time getting out of the car. Didn't acknowledge my presence until he'd looked at his car. Said he only hit my tire before he'd even looked at my truck, and then kind of insinuated it was my fault because my tire stuck out from the fender. He actually said it's the second truck he's hit "because the tires stick out so far". Not even a hint of an apology.

    Luckily they were completely unharmed. I had the tire turned ever so slightly toward the curb, so he got all tire.
