Grr!!! Need to vent

So Im out with my friend last night. We were parked at a grocery store side by side. As we were going to leave, I backed out. He started to back out as well. Just as I stop to put my car in drive, he flies back and slams into the side of my car!!! Now thanks to that **** I have a crunched rear passenger side door. The door is pushed all the way into the crossmembers inside the door, and it actually molded the sheet metal body around the beam. The body shop estimated it at 600 bucks to replace, plus the cost of painting it again. The ****ty part is, insurance wont do anything about it! He agreed that paying me would be better than me keying his car multiple times though, so we got it all worked out. I HAVE CIVIC DRIVERS WHO CAN"T DRIVE!!!!!!

Id agree to that also

Sorry to hear about your car man, you can be the best driver in the world, and still get hit by a dumba$$ driver....

Go to http://www.car-part.com and look up a door. You might even be able to find one the same color as your car.... which would save serious money. I was able to do that with a mirror that needed replaced.

Oh, the items are listed from the most expensive to the least... so you'll want to scroll through a few pages before you start calling.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the link n20Mike, Ill check it out right now and see what I can find. As far as I know, the pearl white color was a pretty common color, so we'll see, and maybe I can get lucky.

My insurance has a 500 dollar deductable, and since Im a "new" driver, my rates will go up if I make a claim. Being 16, I can barely afford insurance as it is. I dont need it to go up.
