Her neighbor was backing out and thought she had more room than she did and backed right into my front bumper/fender. Trashed my bumper, fender, head light, and fog light. Thank god it didn't get my hood. I got really luckly cause she called the cops and actually came to my GF's door and told me what happend once the cop got there. She gave me her insurance and a copy of the police report so I didn't have to pay a dime. She was in a 94ish 300zx and all it did to her car was scuff up the rear bumper . The final bill was something to the tune of $2400 bucks that her insurance had to pick up, along with my rental fee.
wow, thats lucky, not many people are that honest. there should be more people like that now days less that hit cars, but you know what im sayin

Well its not so much Geico being slow. They have been treating me great, its just that neither them nor i can get ahold of the damn cop to get any information that we need. I`m about ready to just get it out and go raise hell in town until he finds me. I`m just at a ******* stand still because i don`t know what the hell to do. I don`t know if i`m supposed to be taking the car to body shops to get estimates or what.

That never happens. If someone actually had the ***** to fess up to their actions (which you will hardly ever see) like she did, I'd do something small for her just for thanking her for being respective.

Dang bish! We just look on the bright side. Things are going to be repaired. Unfortunetly it happened. I GUESS thats why they call them accidents, or IMO acts of stupidity, or ignorance.

Mike -
Sorry to hear about that. I know exactly how you feel because same thing happened to me last summer, someone backed into me on the passangers side door and it cracked all over, then they ran... Caught the bastard theo! and oh yeah made him pay for the damage, layer, and some time behind bars... apperently he was wanted for something.

welcome to the club
some kid decides he wants to be in the right most lane starting from the left and takes out my pass side. Then he tries taking off, thinking hes going to get away from me in a Maxima. Lucky i didnt drag him outa the car at gunpoint. People like this shouldnt have their licenses. He says he didnt see my car. How bout here it *******? i was runnin a borla with no cats and dumpers. and just to add insult to injury, i had just detailed the car for 4 hours andwas taking it to a car show the next day with a for sale sign taped onto the rear window! Took out the fender, door, and quarter panel. $1650 acutal cost to fix.

Holy **** man that sucks. Also i got another update, The cops are being slow as hell and i still have not gotten the police report. But i finally got pics developed from the actual scene of the accident and it had a clear pic of the other drivers license plate so i gave the plate number to my insurance company and they said they should have the other drivers insurance info in a couple days. So hopefully there not giving me the run around either.
