Stupid SUV driver of the week award goes to...

[Alan92RTTT]

Months of planning and building have come down to this: the first drive in my MEV Exocet from Exomotive. Georgia finally issued my title and tag today so you can imagine that I was excited for the Exocet's first drive on the street. The alignment was not perfect, so the plan was to go to the gas station about a quarter mile from my house, then to my alignment guy. I pull up to the pump, swipe my card and as I enter in my zip code I turn around to see a Ford Expedition backing straight for my baby. Thankfully I had the GoPro running so you can enjoy my NSFW reaction. I have never captured such anguish in my voice on video. This is what it feels like to have the car you just spent months building get backed into on its first trip outside the garage.

That is great. The old man was like, We better walk this way kids.

[Vantage]

wow, that guys reaction was pretty damn funny. That had to be terrible to watch that unfold before your eyes. Those Exocets are interesting looking little cars though.

I'd be so fuckin pissed

That happened to me years ago in my Eclipse Spyder. Dumbass only looked in her rear view, so she didn't see me right behind her. I had the top down. That's why you have side mirrors, and a neck!

I love the reactions of people that hit you. Same thing every time "I didn't even see you!!". Because that makes a difference...

I hate that most SUV/Truck fail to look down.

"I just built this car with my bare hands!!!!"... rofl

I find myself replaying this over and over...

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Yep. A lot of the newer, nicer, suv's now have the side mirrors automatically tilt downward when you engage reverse.

^Even my sisters 04 325xi does that..

My manager commutes an hour everyday in his H3, I couldn't believe it when I found out it was his. Thats got to be $40 dollars in gas a day!

I'll bet this guy put it in reverse, then put his right arm on the passenger seat and turned his head completely around to look out the back window while backing. I learned to use my mirrors when I was taught to drive and I only turn my head and look before moving the vehicle.
