That sucks Man!!!

Did you get the Corolla's plate #? One of my friends was in an accident caused by another vehicle changing lanes. He hit an off duty cop! The cop chased the car down, got his plate #, and said he was going to work and would run the #. He said it the guy was going to get some accessory to the accident and leaving the scene or something, but I'm not sure what happened after that, it was just a couple days ago. At least your alright. Hope the car didn't sustain too much damage!!!

Looks like you're going to have to sell the other 3 rims, SprintMax. I know someone that will buy them off you.

Glad you didn't get hurt.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better - I had a dumber accident on Tuesday.

I was turning right out of a parking lot and I was waiting for a break in the traffic and talking to my friend. And I guess I wasn't riding the breaks hard enough, and then THUD! My bumper gave some Grand Cherokee a little kiss.

Fortunately, God gave me the gift of a disarming smile and an even more disarming voice, and I convinced the woman not to worry about the damage to her SUV.

Then I went and blew up about the scrape on the front of my <b>real</b> car!

Take care,
Shayyadin

P.S.: At least nothing happened to my clear tails...

You too, huh? I got that damn front bumper issue as well.
I am really trying not to mount my PIAAs until I get that bumper fixed.

I got the bumper for $150 but now it is a challenge to find someone to paint it where it will look as good as it did when it came from the factory.

In my case, I slid into the back of a Tempo on a snow covered road. No damage on the Tempo but my bumper cover has small cracks in it and the paint cracked.

That kinda stuff can bite ya 2 years later. Many people are too shy to rant and rave in person. They get home, and talk to coworkers and husbands and the next thing you know you're being sued. You may have distracted her from remembering your plate. Why would someone overlook damage to their suv?? Careful.
