Fucking Jerk!

So...I'm coming home from work today & 680 South is pretty backed up. so I hopped onto 24. About 2 miles from the Tunnel, my car DINGS....fuck, I forgot to get gas before leaving work.....and to be honest, I'm not really sure just how much over 300 miles per tank I can really go, and I was already at about 320.... So, I finally get through the Caldecott Tunnel & I get onto 13 going towards Hayward. I get off on the 1st likely looking exit, which gives me the choice of going to Moraga or Piedmont. I picked Moraga. Narrow streets, expensive cars, lots of little touristy shops. Just as my car is starting to get the the BOTTOM of my red line, I see a gas station. I do this difficult V type turn to get into the driveway and somewhat pointed to a gas machine....only to have a group of motorcyclists zip around me & take the next available machine. My gas tank is on the passenger side, near the back of the car, so I'm pointing in pretty much the wrong direction now for the next available machine, so I slowly angle my car around and end up approaching the machine at a diagonal with my front end pointed away and my rear end real close to a cement barrier/planter. As I'm trying to wiggle around to get myself closer to the machine, another car wedges in behind me & cuts off my path in that direction (the motorcycles are in front of me).....just as I realize I'm touching the cement barrier. I looked behind me.....and the person in the other car made it clear they weren't going to move to give me space to manuever....so I cranked my steering wheel as hard as I could and ever so slowly tried to get my car pointed in a straight line, while trying to go around this barrier/planter.....and thereby......DENTING MY FUCKING DOOR & KNOCKING OFF SOME TRIM!!!! When I finally was facing forward, I got out the car....and the driver behind me noticed me looking at the DENT in the bottom of my passenger door.....and they just SHRUGGED at me!!! Judging by the way it looks, I'm probably going to need a new door.....and I'm really wondering what the fuck I'm going to do with the FLAMES that are decaled from 1 end of the car to the other.....will the body shop be able to take them off & put them on the new door....or will I have a car with flames on only 1 side? If money wasn't such a fucking issue right now, I'd just get the new door, strip off ALL the flames, and get the PAINT job I've been wanting to get....but that alone is going to cost me $1,800.00....and with Rik not working, that is just something I can't justify spending right now. To say I'm mad.....would be an understatement.
