Default Here's something new...I got "front-ended" at the car wash yesterday!!!

Sunday morning. I take my wife's Passat to the Shell Carwash at Bayview and Sheppard in hopes of redetermining what colour the car actually is.

I'm in the queue, reading the BS spam that I received overnight on the Crackberry. Look up...see reverse lights.. get on the horn...guy hits the brakes...too late. Crack.

"What the **** are you doing you fcukin a$$hole?" Guy jumps out of his car...Oh sorry, I didn't see you, the guy in front of me was starting to backup so I had to back up, I'm really sorry." Shake my head. Check the car...looks ok. Checked it again after the wash...looked ok.

I cannot believe that drivers in TO are so damn terrible that you can get hit from the front in line at a car wash. UNBELIEVABLE.

Luckily it wasn't the S, or I think I may have stabbed the guy with my Crackberry!! (Or maybe emailed him to death).

Default Malibu does not come with CCTV rearview backup camera, so keeping in mind societys' almost-universal

driving deficits, there is no way he could have possibly seen you directly behind him. You were in his blindspot, the "Torontonian 270 degree" blindspot.

Not that uncommon - happened to me in a drive-through and I've seen it happen on the ferry.

Friend's mom did that to my friend's car while backing out of their garage at home.

I'm guilty as well. I've backed up onto a VW before because the garbage guy signal me to backup.
