Once Wasn't Enough

Nick and I had dinner in the Meat Packing District Friday night. We sat outside at a restaurant. In the middle of dinner I watched a guy who was driving a forerunner, back up his car and sideswipe another SUV that was parked on the side of the street. He swiped the side of the car so hard, that he pushed the front of the SUV up in the air and about a half a foot backwards.
The man driving the forerunner then pulled forward, so as to release the SUV back into its original parked position, and walked out of his car to inspect the damage. He then walked into the restaurant in which I’m eating, walked out 1 minute later and got back into his car. He proceeded to back up again, in an attempt to park his car in the space across the street (this was a one-way street), and as soon as his car started moving he slammed on the accelerator, turned his car all the way to the right and smashed in the same car that he just hit two minutes ago. The whole restaurant turned around, as well as everyone else standing about, as the noise was incredibly loud. Six bouncers tending the line at the club behind my restaurant came running out to the accident. It turned out that the SUV this man hit twice happened to belong to one of the bouncers.
I’m not exactly sure if this guy paid off the bouncer or not, because no cops were called, the bouncer drove his car away, the guy’s girlfriend drove away his away, and everybody lived happily ever after.
