1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Fuuuuck

You alright though?

Edit: I know you said you just bounced off but adrenaline can make you pretty numb to things for a good while

 

^ this!! Holy shite!

 

Soooooo

When's the law suit?

 

He said it took off

Unless he got to talking to someone that caught the plate, as well as an accurate description of the driver, that person got away

 

or maybe a lucky redlight cam - but yaaah...

 

Yeah my arm hurt for a bit but that’s it. I’m not even scraped up. Dude rolled coal as he sped off and I couldn’t even fully make out the plate. I know exactly what decals and political stickers and it’s like a ~2012 Duramax.

But unfortunately the police in my city don’t pursue things like this. The only intersection cameras are at TxDOT managed intersections, this was a city intersection. But even with footage they’d laugh at me. My friend that got run over on his bicycle commute to work struggled to be taken seriously, even after being hospitalized.

 

I got nailed by a taxi driver right in front of the luxor in Vegas years ago and the first guy waiting in line for the taxi was a personal injury attorney. It was like a winning lotto ticket in Vegas but I never cashed in. We were behind schedule with front row Chris Angel tickets and I didn't want to miss it

 

ooof. I feel like I know too many people who've been hit - on bikes - that have been absolutely life changing. One was an old roommate who has come back stronger than ever after going through hell of surgeries and worse dental surgeries. The other lost his best friend - watched him die in his arms. Took two years of therapy to seem better and put on an extra 80 some lbs in the process. Still coming back but it's been hell. :/

Legit crazy - in both ways. lol.

 

That's rough.
I walked away, didn't even brake the screen on my phone. The driver was on her phone so that was a big part of why I thought it would be a good case but didn't want to effect someone else's life over it.

 

that's in a way a really nice way to go about it; hopefully she took that as a win an didn't play on her phone again...her one freebie!

 

My wife and I were walking across a 4 way stop sign intersection at night some years ago in our neighborhood. We're halfway through it and suddenly the sedan I'm walking in front of accelerates right into me and pushed me up a bit. Turned out to be an elderly dude that looked horrified when he realized what happened, I was pissed but then felt bad when I saw how he looked. Dude didn't even see me and hopefully stopped driving for good shortly after that. I was lucky he didn't mix up his brake and gas pedals and just plow through us both.

Ordered a 150a Denso alt for my truck, my Suzuki one gave out in May and my stock one is flaky and plain refuses to charge a battery that is too discharged. If you're going to choose an option, why not choose the nuclear one.

 

Which vehicle does that one come stock in? Sequoia?

 

A John Deere diesel tractor haha. Bolts right in and plugs in without wiring modification

 

Hit me with a Part #. My 1st gen Alt is crying for help.

 

Okay but only because I like ya... Denso 104210-3921 I should say that it does need one hole drilled out to 8mm, but it's aluminum and will take you 5 secs.

 

@TacoVio followed this guy, I guess you don't have to swap the pulley if you don't want to but I was gonna because why not.
