well SOCKS thanks alot for passing the torch to me..... this is the story

last night i was at work at my families sub shop and my car is in the parking lot straight ahead of me. Well around this time of year it gets dark around 5:00 PM. Apparently someone had hit my car in the parking lot and ran... It is on the passenger side fender. I didn't notice until this morning on my way out the door going to school.

the reason i know it happened at work is b/c he/she(probly she) had knocked off my wheel center cap, and the cap was in the work parking lot the next day.

new fenders off ebay are 250 painted to match..... or should i take it to the dealer?

my dad(insurance salesman) says i can report it as an UNINSURED motorist, and they will fix it for me. the problem is, they might up my bill 40 bucks a month if i do that......so im Fvck3d

Seems like Tibs are always getting backed into, wrecked, smashed, dinged, and even a trailer hitch balls through the windshield wink1.gif .... I can't even remember how many post we've had of incidents like this recently..... But sorry to hear about it man, and hope it works out for ya...

well the insurance is going to cover it, with a $200 deductable.

the damages are 1286.60, so i have to pay 200 of that, but my rates wont go up smile.gif

also i might have the mirrors re-painted b/c they are well over due for a new coat



the dude is still a dickface for leaving the scene without any info left.

maybe you can convince socks to buy the CF fenders for his car and then get the good one from the passenger side of his vehicle? Lol... you two.... both have cobalt blue cars and both got hit on opposite sides.. You two need to get together and figure something out. I can see you getting a set of fenders cheaper then just one.

the place is called Accurate Auto Body America, and state farm recommends them to everyone.

and i would have just swapped fenders for 250 off ebay, but the way the dude hit it; the door hits the fender which has started chipping paint away. my dad wont let me do it(he knows i enjoy taking shit off my car too much smile.gif )


i don't really care how much it is, I'm only paying 200 dollars of it. It could be 459809345345 dollars and i would only pay 200.

still gay that its 200, that could almost get me my TB iv been eyeing.
