I was about to back into my spot, and this wench just straight up backed into me, 3 seconds of horn did nothing. Fortunately, I have a witness. I'm a mess right now, this paint isn't even 6 months old.

I see the problem on the SUV's back window...

She's a phoney, she said she attends the community college here.

She goes to Blinn-dergarten.

Even worse.

Get her insurance info, make sure the witness does everything they can to help you out (because holy shit, come on is the van in the wrong), then take the time to find the most OCD anal-retentive, cost-no-object, we-do-not-fuck-around body shop known to man. I hope that S-chassis gets returned to pristine condition, and that you don't get the run-around. I sympathize.

Ouch, that sucks man.

Yeah, I got pictures of her license, insurance card, and a body shop recommendation from my buddy from a car club here who also works as a Service Advisor Manager at the local dealership. We'll see how long this takes to buff out, though.

I feel pretty shitty right now.

I've given up my vices for the next month or so as well, which makes this even worse.

That is exactly how I got one one and only insurance claim you should actually call the cops. That is way more then 500 dollars in damage.

I see a new fender, bumper, hood. Then getting the new paint feathered to match the rest of the car or a whole respray.

That's fuckin rough bro, some people shouldn't be on the road or in parking lots for that matter.

And is that an MR2 you have there?

aw dude. That sucks.

I'd ship you my spare green quarter panel but it wouldn't be cost effective to get it from Australia and have it repainted. and the reflector wouldn't match 'cause it's AUDM

I'll have a beer for your MR2 tonight.

Too late for the police, but it was well documented, and I have the necessary paperwork. I'll keep you posted.

That is indeed an MR2, 1993 turbo.

Yeah, I'd offer to buy it but shipping from AUS would be bad.

Thanks man.

Welcome to Bryan/College Station. Where you phone is far more important than the 2+ ton thing you are driving.

She claims that her radio was too loud. Sucks to be her, still sucks to be me though.

Not sure about where you are, but in Colorado, accidents where no one was hurt can be reported online. If you have the option, I would highly recommend it.

As someone who was hit while stopped at a red light twice in four months, I can tell you a police report really can put the spurs to their insurance and make them hop to it. First wreck, no police report, took them 60+ days to do anything despite many calls from me and my insurance. The second one, reported it online to the Denver PD, and my car was in the shop getting fixed a day or two later.

Best of luck, stay strong.

Where was it? Obviously a parking lot, but I live in CS so I'm curious.

I'm filling out a"blue form" now, and it'll be sent directly to DPS. Thank you for the advice.

Reigntastic > TheDon 11/07/2013 at 22:07

Yep, filled one out.

The HEB off of Texas Ave.

Oh shit! I just spent 3 hours there because my damn Ducati decided to die there. What time?

Reigntastic > Alex Murel 11/07/2013 at 22:51

Happened at about 5:30, maybe slightly earlier. What model Duc'?

I used to ride, before I got my MR2. I don't really regret that, now that I live in CS, but a Ducati definitely might change my mind :)

Alex Murel > Reigntastic 11/07/2013 at 23:08

Ah, I got there around 6. It's an '02 Monster 900 and I almost get killed by girls like the one you met every day I get on it. College Station is a goddamn nightmare, but the motorcycle is nice when I lane split after games.

Reigntastic > Alex Murel 11/07/2013 at 23:16

Lane splitting is amazing, used to do that coming down highway 21 from San Marcos, since Bastrop is retarded and has a timed light in the middle of a highway.

Yeah, I had a lot of near misses while riding, and one unavoidable wreck. I know that life. We should meet up some time, I'd love to see your bike and I'll hook you up with a jalopnik decal or two.

Alex Murel > Reigntastic 11/07/2013 at 23:33

I just really wish it was legal.

We should just have a CS Oppo meet up sometime. I know we're not the only two. And I already bought a couple decals from you, a good way to spot my bike is the decal on my helmet that hangs off the back.

I went through EXACTLY this shit a few years ago at my apartment. Cracked out bitch in (of all things) a Malibu Maxx throws it into reverse and backs out without looking to se if anyone was, yknow, there. I got a new headlight out of it, but otherwise the same thing. If she had hit the wheel, it probably would have been the end of my MR2.

She admitted fault, then tried to retract it the next day. Wanted to fix it out of pocket and not get insurance involved. I gave her (a law student, she claimed) until 2o hours after the hit to talk to insurances, she didn't, so I called hers and reported it. They said, direct quote: "well, sure sounds like she was at fault."

Four months later her apartment caught fire and nearly had the whole complex evacuated. Good times.

That's true, I'm a dumbass, I recognize your jalopnik name now since it's definitely your name. Wednesday night at 9 there's a meet at Rudy's BBQ on harvey, but BCSstreet.com is a great place to start.
