okay fake demigod, pretend you are on the road you drive every single day. The one that is paved, the one you have never seen sand or dirt or gravel on. Pretend it was raining the night before, but it stopped before you woke up.

So on this day you go around a curve you've gone around thousands of times, and all of a sudden in the middle of the curve you see wet gravel. A lot, a little, in this situation, anything more than a dozen or so pieces of rock is too much. Now if you, like any normal person, hits their brakes, you are screwed. you hit your brakes, you hit the wet gravel, you completely lose control, you crash.

Obviously you have never dealt with driving on gravel. It is just as bad, if not worse, than black ice. At least with black ice you know if it is cold it is probably there. With gravel you might never see it at all until the last second. And if you do the normal last second thing of slamming on the brakes you are screwed.

Pretend to be a human and show some compassion. The dude is upset he just got into an accident. Something he had no control over no matter how slow or reasonably he was driving. And then you as a jackass with zero clue come on here and attack him.

it is obvious you think you are some internet tough guy. Guess what, you are an internet fool, and obvious troll. Please go join the other trolls and go hide under a bridge or a rock somewhere.

"internet fool", "trol", and "jackass with zero clue" is more than enough to offend me..no need to write 5 paragraphs..

He's not being a troll, he's just being a far more critical driver than people here are- the rest of you in this thread are empathizing, he's just being cynical.

A door for a yaris in Vancouver really shouldn't be too expensive. If you're lucky a shop can find a white one and just replace it bolt on bolt off.
