I was home from work longer then an hour when there was a knock on my door. It was the girl from next door coming to tell me that the tow truck that parks behind us just rolled back and hit both of our cars. So I go out and snap some pictures and got the owner of the tow trucks insurance info. The guy was very apologetic, gave me all his info and that was that. Just sucks that it damaged 4 pieces I’m just hoping it all goes smooth with the insurance company so I can get it fixed soon.

Here are the pictures:

 

 

Damn I wouldn't like that...time for a cf trunk and a freshly painted bumper.

 

ugh that sucks. i doubt you'll have problems with the insurance company. good luck!

 

You should have no problems with his insurance company. I would get a police report besides the pictures that you have. Your ins. co. might need it.

Pics are to dark, can't see anything.

 

Yeah I know, it happened at 8:30PM so it was dark.

Thanks for the encouragement about the insurance guys. Can anyone else who's been in a similar situation let me know how long it takes to finally get it fixed? Im wondering if the insurance company will cut me a check or have me go to a shop and just pay them what it ends up costing.

 

Now is your perfect chance to get 2k-2k1 SE black tail lamps and a CF trunk if that floats your boat.

 

Its cool he was apologetic and you guys got the info no hassle or trouble.

I have forgoten my ebrake one or twice before but I left the car in gear, so she wasnt going anywhere.

Good luck with the repairs.

 

 

Yup, S**t happens... My brother is a mechanic, he totalled someones Evo 8 last year on a test drive after he did work it...

He is lucky because it was not his fault, it started to rain really hard and some a** nailed his brakes, swerved and nailed my brother. The guy was not pissed, he got a brand new Evo right away since its a mitsu dealer.

 

I would have been PISSED.

Really good thing that it was dealer work and not an independant or something.

 

Even though it sucks your car got damaged it sounds like the rest went pretty well since your neighbor came to get you and the tow truck driver was apologetic. I hope you get everything sorted out and repaired quickly!

 

Yes the black tail lamps would be nice! The CF trunk is a little to rice boy for me though.

I imagine everything will go smooth; I just have to wait till the insurance companies are done playing phone tag
.

 

My car was rear ended the morning I put my last payment in the mail. The driver who hit me had a good insurer. They sent an adjuster out to my house to assess the damages to my car. They have deals with local body shops in my area that you can take you car to if you want. I got my check from them within a week of the accident. I ended up buy the parts myself and had the bumper cover painted at a dealer body shop. I installed the parts myself and pocketed about $175. You should get a police report just in case. Good luck with everything.

 

isnt it too late to get a police report?

 

Only if the police say that it is. Won't hurt to try though.

 

There is really no need for it. My neighbor and I were both hit and I have about 30+ photos of the accident. The tow truck driver admitted fault so it actually went pretty smooth as far as accidents go. I would have got a police report if the guy didn’t admit fault. I reported it to my insurance and got my claim number and an adjuster is supposed to call me soon.

 

What Happens? The sob pays for it and its a company so don't be shy with the claim

 

Okay the tow company is being really cool and I went in and got my estimate at lunch today. It came out to $1683.00 and a repair time of 8 days. So I'm guessing they are just going to pay for this out of pocket. Guess I should consider myself lucky that it’s going so smoothly.

 

you shouldn't have any problem with your insurance company.
get a police report and sue the city for that act and get money that money man!! but first ask a loyer if you got a case lol

 

<---That be me-

 

ouch
if it was a third gen that would be a total hehe
