I saw it happen and first thought was posting it here.. but being old and all, I forgot..
Shit you not. As I stood at the crosswalk at the intersection of 15th and K talking to my wife on the phone, a taxi went to pass a car, crossing the intersection north to south, on the right side. You guessed it, he took the right fender off a 325i before he almost nailed a parked car at the south corner.
Same shit that happened to me the other night I went off about... Only I avoided getting hit. Gave her the play by play as I watched..
I won't tell you what she said.. but I laughed pretty hard... I'm well forgiven for accidently hitting her.
Believe it or not.. the right winger yuppy was really mellow.. almost scared
