I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me. Update
 

Well I was on my way to the tux store to get measured for one for my sister's wedding, which is in 2 weeks. I was with my other sister and my almost 3 year old nephew. Of course the Interstate was packed so we decided to exit on a side road. I was on the exit ramp at the stop waiting for my turn to go in, there was a car coming, the road was kinda wet so I decided to stay there until that car passed then I would go. Well 5 seconds later, bam, a stupid dumbass on an s10 pickup hits my car in the back. The guys seem to work in construction, it was an unmarked company truck, the 2 guys were mexican, and the driver did not have a FL license, he had a mexico license. The owner of the truck does have insurance so hopefully they will pay. Anyways, as soon as it happened I jumped out of the car pissed as hell about it, first of all my nephew is in the car, second it's my ------- car, my baby you know!!!!!! My sister jumped out and started screaming at the guy because of my nephew. This guy didn't stop, he stopped with me, good thing is that he was probably only doing like 25mph. Anyhow I'm so heated I want to jump these guys and kick there asses. The guys that know me, know I'm a big dude, these guys where tiny. I can take them easy, but of course it woul not be the smart thing, So I just grab my phone kick and call 911. Give them all the info and stuff. My sister is already getting all the information from this guy, and I mean all of it, even the guy's underwear color I think.

I already have the troopers coming. The guy told my sister flat out he doesn't have a license. At this point I'm passing around my car trying to calm down. But it's not really working. My sister comes back and tells me the guy wants to leave. I'm like helllllll noooo. He comes to me and tells me the same thing, that I already have all the information that he's going to leave. I'm like I need a police report for the insurance to pay, if you leave that's your problem, I already called the cops they are coming, if you leave you will get in trouble, because I'm waiting for them. I have no problems with my driving records to hide. He is know shaking, scared.

The trooper arrived like 20 minutes later, pretty quick. He asked for our info and what happened, pretty easy, he hit me, I was stopped waiting for my turn. The cop goes back to his car, and the guy comes back and starts tapping at my bumper, he's saying that's only plastic, it's nothing. I'm like pissed off again, told him to stop and told him that that bumper was worth about $500 new, that's with no paint. He tells me no, it can't be that much, I get heated again. I told him I work on cars, I do all my custom work, and I know about prices. He tells me again that it can't be that much. I tell him it's not only that, look at my light, it's probably cracked inside, needs replacement, the frame it's probably bent and needs to be fixed, plus my exhaust might be bent, that's another $700. He is upset and walks away.

A few minutes later he comes back, talking crap again. I told him straight this time. Dude the cop's here, let him do his work, I'm not letting you go just like that. I want my car fixed. You are lucky my sister is here, because if not it would have been a lot worst with just me, I would have taken some other measurements, so just let him take car of it, you walk away back to your car, I don't want to hear anything again. He finally walked away scared again.

I was so freaking upset it wasn't funny. about 10 minutes later the cop came out, gave me the accident report and told me it was the other guy's fault, to call the insurance company and they would deal with it. He then told the other guy, you are going to have to pay for that. That was kinda funny to hear from the cop. Wow that was long. This is just a big long rant of what happened. I'm still upset, it's my baby, and now it is scared. :cry: :cry: The good thing is that it is rally not that bad, requiring bondo and ----, so no more weight will be added to the car, but still......

It doesn't look that bad on the pictures but it is kinda worst than what it looks. We'll see, the insurance company was closed, so I have to call monday, we'll see........

damn dude, that sucks, at least the truck has insurance though, and since the cops found him at fault, insurance will have to pay for it, no way around that. it doesn't look 'too' bad, but it does look like the trunk is out of alignment. also check all of the gaps on the body panels also, it could have knocked the whole quarter panel out of alignment.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

did the cop start talking ---- or was it the spic. i would have been wooping some ass, i congradulate you on keeping your cool
it seems very straight forward so i imagine the insurance will cover everything

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

do you not understand. the dude was telling him ---- not the fucken cop. that sucks man. looks pretty minor though. new bumper could possibly be more ---- when you take the bumper off. but its all being paid for so your good.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

You didn't read any of it, did you?

I hate ---- like th at man, people try to weasel their way out of everything.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

damn sorry bout that. it doesn't look too bad i've been in worst accidents. Its his fault so your all good.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

sorry to see that sweet HMT is back

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

I hate when people do that they ---- your ---- up, and then they try to under price the value of your car, like this lady ran into my driver door and try to tell the it will cost 10 dollars for the molding they were a $150 each. she told me the car is old and so on I popped my hood and say how much do you think this car worth to me, and she was speachless. I let her slide and I just paid $3700 dollars for a paint job, and the door had to be replaced, because it was damaged.

so dont take it simple it might be worst than it looks.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

I hate insurance companys >:( Good luck getting your car fixed.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

Doesn't look too bad but I would still be acting the same way. Good job not letting him leave after getting all his info and calling the cop. That was pretty shitty of him trying to weasel out of it, let him take responsibility for his actions.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

I got agitated(sp) with him still trying to leave after I told him not to, he got scared, I was coming up to him angry and ----, my sister calmed me down. If not the cop would have found me beating his ass to the ground.

I was in an accident before, just me and a metal rail, my full coverage fixed my civic like 3 years ago, but it looked like just the fender and head light, after they took it off, they found more, so I don't know until they take it appart how bad it would be.

What pisses me off the most was his additude, and now I have to deal with all this crap and downtime without my car, I might get a rental, but it's not the same.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

getting hit by a pickup truck at 25 mph could ---- up a lot of things. the rear beam is prob.ly fucked too. :-\

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

sucks bad for you dude. if im not mistaken, you can just take it off, and heat it up a lil bit with a heat gun, and it shoiuld pop right out. with some elbow grease

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

Just got off the phone with the insurance company. They will send an adjuster within 2 days. We'll see what happens.....
My brother-in-law works for a body shop, yeah he told he could pop it out, so maybe I'll get some extra cash out of this... O0 O0 O0 O0

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

wow dav im sorry to hear that i know how pissed you must have been also i seen you and youre a big mofo so 3 against you ... but hey just exagerate with the extimator and if they say anything tell em to call me ill hook you up with qoutes to get more money... just hit me up

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

thanks man...........I think my exhaust did get bent a little, so hey if you can give me a quote on the parts and I'll pick it up. Trunk, light, bumper, exhaust.

I still need to call you about the tint O0

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

i had something like that happen to my front bumper. i took off the bumper, laid the dented part on a towel on the lawn. i got a 5 pound sledge hammer and knocked the dent right out. i'd try fixing it like that for the time being.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

Yeah, I'm going to try to fix it like that after the insurance guy comes and checks it out.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

YES carbon trunk maybe hks, titanium carbon exhaust

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

Yeah that sounds good..........Like I said my brother-in-law is going to fix it, so I should have some extra $$$$$$$ for parts O0

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

that sucks, u have the civic running right? why u need a rental?

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me.
 

just because I can have one, and beat the hell out of it..........
The civic stillllll needs a downpipe, it runs fine, but it's loud.......

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me. Update
 

I have an appointment with the insurance adjuster the 5th, to check my car. I have an estimate for $1800, but using replacement parts and not replacing my trunk, bondo fix in it, I don't want that. My exhaust bent, the body shop guy was like, well so you need a new muffler right?

I was like noooo, I tried to exlain to him how this is an engineered for performance catback exhaust and it is a one piece of tubing. I of course exagerated a little.

He said well you can weld a new muffler in........

I was like no, it is stainless steel, and one piece, and almost $700, I really just paid $350, but it's worth more. I don't want a bid ugly rusty weld down there. He told me good luck with it, like the insurance won't pay for it. I'm still pissed off. I hope they pay for it all.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me. Update
 

go get more than one estimate. when i got in my wreck a LONG time ago, i had to get 3 estimates, then my adjuster averaged them all out, and give me that. i dont know how it works for you....

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me. Update
 

yeah dude, just don't be a push over with the insurance, of course they'll try to tell you where to go, or that it's cheaper with so and so parts, tell them ---- no! they have to use brand new oem parts if that's what you say you want. my friend just wrecked her is300 (well, someone wrecked in to her) just like your situation, and of course the guys insurance tried to tell her where to take it and how much it would be, and she said ---- you, i'm getting brand new oem parts and repaint the whole car if there's the slightest bit of color that doesn't match, and they agreed.

Re: I'm soooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!some guy crashed into me. Update
 

Yeah, i'm planning on going to a few more places, and use the higher ones to show the adjuster. Tomorrow is my last day of work , where I am right now, so I'm planning on getting out of here early and going to a few more places.

I start my new job monday, it's a good thing, but my car is all fucked up, and my stupid cell phone broke, this would be the 3rd motorola v220 they send me, I want a different phone, they don't want to do anything >:( >:(.

There's worst situations, so I'm not complaining about life and ----, but it still sucks ass.

I'll keep you guys updated.
