PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

It wasn't as hot as it was over the weekend, and the show had been going on for a little over half an hour; What does that have to do with anything? I don't think it was a judged show...

 

I don't think it was a judged show, and it was warm but not particularly hot. People see me taking pictures of their vehicles all the time and encourage me to open the door and pop the hood. At a cruise night in Levittown a couple weeks ago, there was a 1950s Packard with a sign in the window encouraging people to open the door, climb behind the wheel, and imagine what it was like to be driving home in a brand new 1950s luxury car. I asked the owner to make sure this was for real, he said it was, and I got inside and took a bunch of epic pictures. I have never had anybody react the way the owner of the El Camino did, though you may remember last year when a woman with severe mental problems went full Karen on me taking pictures of her Pontiac Sunbird at the same show in Levittown. Luckily, her dad intervened and told me I could keep taking pictures.

 

Agree.

 

But with 450hp, and factory A/C...



My only complaint about this one was that it's automatic...

 

My favorite Chevelle's would be 66 and 67.

 

Thats nice car

 

The company's Ram 2500 was being used, and seriously, you're not gonna say that I was somehow in the wrong because of the stupid son of a bitch was in a commercial truck, are you? This was not him turning wife; He seriously came into my lane and almost smashed up the passenger side of my truck, and even though I laid on the horn he decided he was just going to keep coming over.

 

I'm just sick of people hitting my truck, whether it be with a vehicle or a metal pipe...

 

My truck needs to last just a few more years until I put a downpayment on a house, and hopefully by then I'll be able to supplement it with a used 4Runner; In that case, the truck would remain in the garage during the winter and I'd drive the T4R everywhere.

 

Sounds like a good plan.

 

So I reviewed the dashcam footage; It would have still been the other guy's fault if there was an accident, but for some reason I thought it was legal to make a left turn from both lanes at that intersection. It's not. The truck driver was obviously not from that area and also thought it was legal to make a left from either lane. He realized his mistake and figured turning on his left blinker meant he would automatically be let in. Street Road is two lanes going in each direction and I rarely make a left from that intersection, so I for some reason thought that the right lane could be used for turning either right or left and the left was left only. The light turned green and my front bumper was probably at the truck's rear axle when he started to change lanes. My front bumper was probably at his left fuel tank when I realized what was happening, promptly panicked, and laid on the horn. I figured that the driver had simply not not checked his mirror and would go back into the right lane. Nope, he kept coming over and forced me into the opposing lane. With nowhere else to go, I somehow managed to pass the truck on the left. He honked at me for some reason, and I flipped him off.

My parents have both seen the dashcam footage and believe it was just a confusing situation. The truck driver thought I was just being a jerk, and I thought the truck driver was just being a jerk, when in reality we were both confused by the signage.

I think he would have been at fault; What do you think? I was not trying to be a jerk. It was just another truck accelerating slowly, and I wanted to turn left.

 

And you think the video proves that I wasn't being aggressive? Trucks literally stop and put their flashers on all the time on that stretch of road, and it would be easy for someone in rush to assume the truck was just stopped...

 

Definitely not your fault.
