I have two stories I haven't posted yet...

The first doesn't involve any accidents, or even driving...but one of those holier-than-thou SUV women though I had cut her off at a gas station nearby where gas is notoriously cheap. She had just finished gassing up, and my mom's minivan (with mom and grandmom in it) is in front of her...just beginning to fuel.
She starts SCREAMING out her window about how inconsiderate we are for not letting her get out before we got gas, and how we're "fahking faggots" and all this nasty verbal abuse. With the grandmother in the car, I had to try REALLY hard not to stick it to her. Then this guy behind her, also in an SUV, gets out, asks her what the problem is. Instead of then asking me MY version of the story, he accepts hers (the "Code of the SUV") as gospel, and gets dangerously close to me (5-6 feet away...near ass-kicking range) and starts shouting about "what nerve I have"... the lady chimes in, of course, with stuff like "I can't believe you!" and "I bet you cut people off all the time, don't you!" .... it was truly insane. All the other drivers (there a line by this point) were shaking their heads at the two SUV people, who were literally yelling at the top of their lungs about this sub-5 minute gassing up my family is doing. So finally, right when I was about ready to go, I really snapped and told the guy to get back in his car, or else...and told the lady I hoped I never saw her again, because... but then the legal side of me said "shup up, shut up now" and after waiting for the guy to get back in his Explorer (woman was in a Suburban), we took off... but not before the woman did a rice-boy flyby in her SUV, turning the opposite way out of the gas station. It was, by far, the craziest experience I've ever had with road rage and hostile SUV people.

Story two: I was going to my dad's house on rt 32 out here, through the middle of town. Rt 32 has no stop signs, and the automatic right of way. However, a road comes down off a hill and meets up with it - this road DOES have a stop sign.
I'm cruising through town at 10-15 mph, when I reach this intersection. There is an elderly woman in the oncoming lane in a Chevy Lumina stopped with her left blinker on, who wants to make a left turn onto the road that goes up the hill. Not having a stop sign myself, and seeing that she is making a left turn and supposed to yield/wait, I proceed through the intersection like I've done a 100000 times before.
But right when I'm in the middle, she stomps on the pedal, like she's trying to beat me, and crushes the front end of my beautiful red G2 Integra GS-R. Not only does she not stop when she hits me, she panics and keeps her foot on the gas, so she drives me into a curb, and screws up the frame, everything. The car was completely totalled. There was a lady behind her who acted as my witness, and she said that the old lady almost did it just a moment before I got to the intersection to some other guy. Interestingly, neither airbag went off...
