Here's The Accident CAD Drawing On My Lunch Break. (Click to enlarge)

 

Yeah, i'm covered. Full coverage ($500 Deductible).

I just got a clear record (36 months since the last time I got caught speeding) though which brought my insurance down enough that I can afford this car. An extra $100 a month for insurance leaves my financescloser than I want to being tight. Claiming it isn't worth it to me if I'm going to have to pay $3600 over the next 3 years. I'lluse the money I have saved for a chip and modshack1,2,3 if it comes down to it.

good choice and get the cash of the other silly bugger

 

edited to add: It should be possible to call the precinct and ask them what the official procedure is in a situation like that.

I didn't really understand this.

I would not settle.

Great diagrams btw.

This is all hind-sight but its a great reason to carry a digital cam in your car. If something happens like this and its not your fault you can start snapping pics and then ask them politely for their insurance card and drivers license even if the police don't do their job correctly.

Btw - I drive an SUV but no hard feelings. Actually its pick-up truck drivers who I think are the problems.

 

+ 10 on the digi cam I always Cary one

 

Does that really cost $900 to fix? I backed up into a buddies car a couple of weeks ago and damaged that exact area.

 

As long as you fit in with the idiots that can drive them rather than the idiots who can't drive them you're ok in my book.

The only real problem I have with them are that they limit my visibility (especially when parked on corners)

 

I'm sure you can get it done cheaper.

I plan on paying that amount though. It's a reputable shop, and I've seen their work. It's still a valuable car, not worth it to be cheap in important places IMO.

Includes re-painting the full panel to match, body work, removing the taillight. Like I said earlier, not justa tape n spray maaco job.

 

SUV's suck. and all the women who drive them while talking on their cell phones and sipping there double mocha whatever's . they all need to be bitch slapped. srry bout the rant. as far as your problem goes. get the guy who hit you information and his insurance, or make him pay for all the repair costs( and a drivers ed course) or keep yelling until somone fixes it. just my two cents
