Default So I got wrecked into.....TWICE TODAY!!!!!

So I get to work this morning as a delivery driver and on my way out I had to stop at my car to get my cell phone off the charger. Well what do I see...a dent! What the hell I been at work an hour and this already happens! This is why I park way in the back row you know? So anyway this is the aftermath.




Not too bad but enough to ruin your day. I wasn't even gonna claim this on my insurance because my deductible would probably pay for it to get fixed anyway. I was just gonna call it a loss and try to fix it myself. So this brings us to wreck #2.

I'm out on a delivery and get a phone call from the store telling me a guy is there saying he hit a green Firebird outside and wants to make it right. In my mind I'm thinking it the guy from the small dent from earlier and his conscience kicked in or something. So anyway I tell my manager to get his info. so we can get this taken care of. So here I am all happy go lucky that this little dent is gonna get fixed. Well we go back to the store so I can clock out and we pass by my car and this is what I see...



WHAT THE HELL! REALLY PEOPLE YOU HIT A CAR PARKED IN THE VERY BACK OF THE PARKING LOT AND IS NOT MOVING!!!! TWICE!!! AND IN THE SAME SPOT!! Heck I don't even know if both wrecks were the same guy or different but really at least he had the decency to come forward. Already got the ball rolling with insurance.

Man how ironic. On the bright side, atleast the second person nailed you in the same spot so you don't have to claim the damage from the second person plus fix the dent from the first person, kinda nailed two birds with one stone there. BTW haven't seen you over here in some time, how you been?

Condolences man, the guy trowin the turd at the fan completely missed and hit you with the whole thing. Don't worry, my luck is simmilar. A coupple of days afer buying my car it looks like a neon or something small like that was backing out and bumped me with their tire or bumper, it looks worse than it is, but it still looks bad.

Granted, not anywhere near as bad, but similar.

Yea I haven't posted in a while, just figured everyone would like to see this since they know my car on here. LOL I mean even I'm laughing about it because really what else can you do? Just not looking forward to what they offer me for the damage. I get the check to myself since its paid for I just don't want to have to go find a 1/4 and attempt to pull it off.

Yea I'm sure they will total it but as long as the check is decent I will fix it and then possibly look around for something else. LOL Maybe go into the dreaded LS1 world!

If you really love the car, try buying it back from the ins. company and get it fixed. Or buy it back and part it out.

yeah i hope that doesn't happen but it seems like it doesn't take much anymore. that's why i've changed my car over to collector's insurance. it would take $10k+ in damages to total my car out and if that happened, thats how much $ i get for it.
