Default My car was hit today...

.. and I now have two nice scratch/indent marks on the rear bumper cover from a Chevy 1500 Tell me this wouldn't **** you off. I'm on my way out the door at work and a co-worker tells me my car got run over by a truck. Typical workplace humor right..wrong. I go out into the parking lot and there it is, a " brother " Chevy truck kissing my bumper. This guy parked in back of me in the morning hit my car and decided to stop there, get out, and go to work leaving his truck resting on my SS

happened to me too last week. I was at a red light and an 18-wheeler rear ends my car. TWICE. So I get down really pissed off and wave at the phucker to let him know that I was there and after noticing the indent marks I signal him to turn into the parking lot. I called the cops before I got down and told him about it. He said that he would rather pay for the damage without the cops getting involved. I said "sure , but we have to go to the dealer right now" . He agreed , but immediately offered me $150 cash and I said NO. then before the cops showed up I realized that it wasn't that big of a deal and asked him for $200. he agreed and we both went our seperate ways. I can see the indent marks on my bumber from the two pointy bolts from his liscence plate but no onel else does so I think that I'll just pocket the cash for a rainy day.

Sorry to hear that. That's one of the reasons I'm very cautious about every other driver here in New Mexico. We have the highest percentage of uninsured drivers in the country and there are too many people here that won't hesitate to book it from the scene of an accident. Hope you can make your car all better.

The good news is, that they can't get away from you.

I feel your pain. My car has been in the shop for the past two weeks after getting rear-ended. A Chevy 1500 pickup wasn't paying attention in rush hour traffic..plowed into an escort and pushed her into me. ~$3000 worth of damage to my car.

I don't know how much the repair would be, but I'm leaving it like this for the time being. He didn't hit me at full speed. He just hit me at a stop as he was inching forward because he couldn't see my car. I guess he was distracted. He hit me once and I moved forward, then he hit me again until I got off. I'm sure that hitting a little F-body in neutral at a stop must fell like me going over a rock.

I get out of work today and who is parked next to me ?? Mr Clownshoe himself. Maybe he's going for the nice door- ding trick before the weekend. Now it's on I don't know if he's being an A-hole or is just retarded. I'll find out Friday when I'm waiting for him in the parking lot. This is like high school all over again.

You should have snapped some pictures and went after his insurance. I would definately say something to him.

The police were called as soon as I saw my car. Being a municipal employee has some advantages, like having Union brothers such as police and dispatchers. No phone calls...just use the 2 way. Those guys were like johnny on the spot 3 mins max.
