Thread: Need some advice

damn that sucks, I would just pay the $40 instead of screwing with the cops and the insurance

That really sux man. I've had my baby hit twice now. The first time I was out with my wife (fiance at the time) and we were looking for houses. We parked on the street, walked in to the house, we didn't like it so we weren't in there more then 6-7min and we come back out. The ******* in front of me had backed out of his spot right into my popup headlights. Neither of them came up under there own power. I had to pull the fuses and crank them up by hand while holding the hood and fender away from them. I pulled them out with a crow bar and got them lined up decently. I wasn't going to have a bodyshop fix them till I was ready to paint the car. About 3 months after that I did have the car painted and the front end lined up again. Not 2 weeks later a woman pulled out of a parkinglot right into the side of the car and then backed up and tried to get away. I pulled right in front of her and parked her in so that she couldn't leave till the cops got there. She pushed my whole front end out of alignement and it still isn't quite right even after the bodyshop got done. These things happen I guess. If you have full coverage on the car look up the police's non emergancy number have them fill out a report and the call and report it to your insurance agent unless you want to pay for the work yourself.

The school should have insurance for something like this. And I think I saw you parked in the lot that day, didn't I?...

Call up the insurance people and tell them it was a hit and run and tell the cops.

Also id check all the people who live up and down the street by walking past their houses and looking for a white car and some scratches.

Also look for local businesses that are around there and see if any have a white car thats been scuffed up.

Sorry to hear about it but its a hazard when parking on a street

Yeh. The first time I hit my friend's car and I had my mechanic do the cheap job. No painting, no sanding. He just did a poor job hammering out the fender.

I'll call the cops. I took the pics, etc..

I don't think it was someone on rthe street. My guess it was someone doing a U turn, because there is a driveway on the other side of hte street.

Yeh, it a hazard

Yeh, the 2nd time was awful. It is a poor lexus :'( I'll call the sherif.

A police report would probably help with a vandalism claim. I've got full coverage with a $500 deductable. This is the third time the panel has been hitm and I don't want to restore this one. There's just so many times you can bend a peice of metal.,

Jsut go down your local cop shop and speak to them or look for the numbe rin yellow pages - don't you dare call 911 for that!!!

to be honest there is nothing they can do. The only way they could ever find out is chemical tests to prove it could have been thier car and they only do that kind of thing in fata hit and runs. $40 seems a bit cheap for that kind of damage but if he thinks he can do it then mayeb let hm have a go. Get some T-cut on thart paint after you ahve been to the police - so they can see the fulle ctent and the white paint and it will look better - trust me - my mates really ****ed his merc and when we for rid of the black marks it just looked better and made him feel beter about it.

Hope it gets sorted ok.
