    I don't think I was even past mile two on the test drive when some idiot turned in front of me.....

    Fortunately I was able to avoid damaging the car.

    Was able to verify that the seat belts work though. :lol: B)

    What an awesome little car!

    you know what, i'd say hoorah! now you're past the new-car jinx of being a magnet for door dings, scrapes and accidents. sounds like a close enough shave that you'll drive ding free for years.

    cheers!

    My car stops ! I had someone turn in front of me at a green light (red for her). I stood on the breaks and I stopped in time, with an inch or two to spare. She was like what? I was like eat s**t and die! She was like I am pretty why are you picking on me, boo hoo! And I am like calling the cops. She was like I don't like them, who sited her for running a red light, like boo hoo again. She was like I'm calling my dad? I was like I am a dad suck it up. She was like boo hoo and I was like gone. She was with the local constabulary, crying, waiting for daddy, god I hope he hung her out to dry, I would have.

    That would be awesome!

    I have found myself parking away from others at work to avoid that first ding. There are a suprising number of rude folks where I work that think nothing of slamming their door into someone elses door.

    I still need to avoid the deer ... I usually have at least one jump out in front of me each year. That adds some excitement to my trip!

    SIDE NOTE: 46.5 mpg avg on first tank so far. :)
