Default i bought my JK

after i got rear ended by some lady while i was in my mustang. I bought the JK cause it was big and yellow you know so people can see it right... why the hell do they act like I'm not even on the road. god i had some dipstick run a red light today on me as i was making my turn. i put him into the rail well he put himself into the rail cause i didn't touch him. but it's like a everyday thing I'm on the road I'll have people try to cut me off or pull out in front of me like they just can't see this big ass yellow Jeep coming down the road at all.

That sucks. There are a couple places I have to drive through that are a free-for-all, as if traffic laws and ettiquette cease to exist.

A few years back I bought a yellow Xterra. I remember thinking that people will be able to see me, and I'd avoid accidents. As I pulled off the lot someone changed into my lane and almost t-boned me. Flashing neon lights don't get some people's attention, always be careful!

At the red lights around here, you might as well wait for a couple of seconds after you get the green light before you go, if you can even go since people block the lane where you can't turn

i was the 3rd car to pull through the light. i was caught way off guard when the jackass just kept coming. the look on his face was priceless when he saw that i wasn't giong to give him a inch. i was ready to take the hit i'm sick of these fools on the road around here.

A big yellow Jeep should help. I've been getting the itch to get a new Shelby. Gotta love that American muscle.
