civichatch Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) So yesterday (oct.15) wen i was pulling out of my school parking lot this lady bumps into my bumper. I was initially pretty pissed off cause it felt like she had hit me pretty hard. So i go around to the rear of my car as everyone at my school stairs at us in the middle of the parking lot. And there is only 2 little marks. Not even noticable to the human eye. So i bassically told her i want this fixed and i want cash. She said sure sure whatever you want. So today i went to the local able auto body to get an estimate. He quoted me 400$ to repaint the bumper. So i got a nice cheque for 400$ from the lady, FOR 2 LITTLE SCRATCHES. Just awsome. Unfortunatly, One of my best freinds also got rear ended yesterday. His truck is in much worse shape though. He was just rear ended 2 weeks ago and just got it fixed 3 days ago. Then the exact same thing happens to him again. OO and with the money i went out and bought an XBOX 360 halo 3 edition lol felt like giving myself a present.

bibby>Chode Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) And there is only 2 little marks. Not even noticable to the human eye. So i got a nice cheque for 400$ from the lady, FOR 2 LITTLE SCRATCHES. Just awsome. I really can't say too much, seeing as almost the exact same thing happened to me except for the fact mine was a dent, not 2 "Not even noticable" scratches. Also, I used the money to fix my car, and then do some other things for my car. Every bit of that money plus some went back into my car, & not just blown elsewhere. Honestly bro, even though she did fuck up your shit, i think you are looking at it the wrong way. But what's done is done, so atleast fix your car, and not blow it. Pics? EDIT: I just saw your edit to buy your xbox 360. I really should just delete this, but i will wait for others opinons. Honestly, thats low dude. - Cool points for you in my book.

civichatch Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 dude its impossible to take a picture of what shes done. Its not even noticable. The screws on her license plate are the only thing that touchd my car. And they didnt even really break the paint. My car is beeing repainted in March so im not going to waste 400$ on repainting my bumper especailly when chances are the paint wont even match. And I thought a 360 and halo 3 was a good way to spend the money because i already have everything i want done to my car. I just got a new job today making alot more money then before. So with this money i did somthing for myself. I absolutely love my car and freak out wen somone even runs there finger along the paint when its dirty. So im not some idiot hu is just taking advantage of a situation.

audiofanaticz Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Im sorry but I got the same opinion as bibby so I gotta agree with him... If you absoultly love your car, and freak out over something so minor as you say, you would of stock that money back into your baby and keep it looking fresh. If its barley see it then why did you want cash? If you would of gotten the money from her/your insurance company and then spent it on something else instead of repairing your car it would be considered fraud, and you could get in a lil bit of trouble.

Torres Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 making more money than you were before? i kinda look at it like stealing the $400. my friend backed up into my hatch of my SUV and dented it all to hell. almost $1k in damage. MOST likely going to have to come out of my pocket, unless his brother pays it from his military sign on bonus, which is in another 5 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im not some idiot hu is just taking advantage of a situation. Dude, you just strengthened my argument even more. So on top of the other things i said, you KNEW you were getting your whole car repainted in march, and the spots arent even noticable. That is really a low class move bro. You really took advantage of the situation where as you should have been the good samaritan, and let it go. How would you feel if you were in the other persons shoes knowing everything you have stated in this thread. That person could have not given you anything, but instead decided she would be a good person, and rectify what she had done by giving you some money to "FIX" what she fucked up. If she had not been a good person, you wouldnt have gotten shit. That my friend is the definition of taking advantage of the situation. You really have urked me to no end bro. You have no idea.

Big P Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 This thread went to shit quick. Why does every one feel they need to push off there false sins of morels of on every body else. If the cars paid off then he can do what ever he wants with the $. BUT if he does not fix it and gets in another wreck the $400 will be deducted from the value of the damage. and if the fucked up inshurense company finds the reason of damage or injury to passengers was because of not repairing your vehicle your fucked. the reason the repairs were so high is because the foam in your bumper must be replaced. You might want to look into repairing this so you don't open your self up to other issue later on down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civichatch Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) i could have gone thru her insurance company and got everything repaired but then there is a 400$ deductible plus her insurance goes through the roof. So in the end it worked out better for her. I wasnt just going to say , oooo dont worry about it. My car is fully paid off the bumper didnt even move like the alignment is perfect. I will post a picture today just to prove my point, I think you guys are taking this a little more serios then it needs to be.
