If you watch the video again you'll see that strs first reaction is to hit the horn rather than the brakes. The fact that he hits the lexus from behind proves that he was traveling faster than the lexus (which doesnt apply its own brakes until after its been hit). I think he hit him deliberately. The other driver is 100% at fault because if he had stayed in his lane instead of illegally turning into STR's lane, the accident would not have happened. STR's reaction was as fast as most peoples would have been, if not faster, and the other driver aggressively moved into his lane, rather than making a relatively sedate lane change like most people do. Who gives a poo poo who was traveling faster, it's completely irrelevant to fault here.

I have a Sherline lathe (the long bed one) already and want to get the mill, but I don't need or want the CNC part, and since I already have the lathe, there is no way I'm paying $1500 for that set. It's a fantastic price for the pair of them though.

If he ever gets back to me and you want to split up the set let me know. I can also remove the CNC bits on my mill if you want one with the column that rotates in both directions.

First of all he's hanging out in the lexus' blind spot which is silly to do and not anticipate the lane change, second the lane change is pretty clearly telegraphed and finally i find it really odd that STR seems to make no effort to slow or stop his car until the impact. But then again this isn't the first time he's shown irrational behaviour in response to a perceived slight from another driver

Thanksgiving sucked this year. My parents almost set the house on fire. Then my family was awkward and quiet the whole time. But in better news my oldest son got to ride in my 93 camry last night and fell in love with the center armrest. He told me it was the awesomest car he's ever been in. Now both boys approve of the camry and it can never leave.

some texas redneck posted:He has Geico. I dropped my bike many years ago due to a guy changing lanes 2 feet in front of me while simultaneously slowing down. Front tire barked his rear bumper and down I went. He was all apologies at the time. I made the mistake of not waiting for a cop to show up (I did not have a MC endorsement at the time), but I did get phone numbers of witnesses. He later claimed that I was following too closely (well, yeah, not that I could avoid it...) and my witnesses had conflicting stories, so his insurance told me to get hosed. I got to pay for a sprained wrist all by myself. I would have killed to have a dash (helmet) cam then. I really need to get a dash cam for the car now, even though I don't drive a whole lot. Posting from work, where this is just SO MUCH for a workstation janitor to do when no one else is here... Eh, catching up on the forums and watching YouTube. Had a Smashburger for lunch (burp.) Oh, and the website for the luxury retailer I work at went down for hours. Looks like someone forgot to do load tests this year. I want that. Wish I had $1500 (and it was somewhat near me.)

So it's going to be a pain in the rear end. And I don't have accident forgiveness on my policy, if for some hosed up reason insurance decides I was partially at fault.

It looks to me like the rear end steps out because of the impact. You put yourself in a bad situation, and relying on somebody to react predictably when you blast your horn at them? Seriously? Especially when you've been in their blind spot the whole time and have no idea where you are, thats really naive.

I did a thing... Fit better than expected. Can move the 928 back and over another 6 inches if I feel like it to make a wider walk way. 320i can be driven in and out pretty easy too which will be nice. Motard and toolbox between the E21 and E30 for now, may move them or leave it as is.
