Last night I was on my way to pick up Alice. She’s doing lights for Rocky Horror Show that’s currently playing at UHH. I was northbound, sitting at the intersection of Highway 11 and Puainako Street, preparing to turn left onto Puainako, when I felt a bump. I turned around and saw some jackass in a red pickup behind me who’d rear-ended me. I glared at him, pointed at him, pointed at the side of the road ahead (to signal to him that that’s where we’d exchange details), turned on my hazard lights, made the left turn (the light had since turned green), and pulled over to the side of the road.

The guy just drove off.

I thought “fuck this, fuck him” and took after him. He turned right onto Kinoole Street, I followed. He turned right onto Kawili Street, I followed. He turned right onto Kilauea Street, I followed. I think I hit 60 somewhere along Kilauea.

Unfortunately for him there was a red light at Kilauea and Puainako, and there was someone stopped at the light, so I caught up to him. I got his licence plate. FWW 661, in case anybody’s wondering.

He turned right onto Puainako again, and again I followed. This time he ran a red at Kinoole and headed straight up Puainako. I turned right at Kinoole and went on to UHH to pick up Alice.

There wasn’t any damage to our car. It’s nice to know that the old Cavalier can still get up and go when it needs to.

So if you live in Hilo and you see a piece of shit red pick-up truck with a licence plate FWW 661, that’s the asshole that hit me.
