Sucks to get rear ended!

So today while driving home from school, I come up to a stoplight. Then BOOM! someone slams into the back right corner of me. What happens next? The guy guns it around me and takes off like none other. I could've caught up to his Honda civic but I was in too much shock of what happened that I had to pull over.

Well I have to go make an insurance claim tomorrow. Sucks to drive something that costs a lot to repair...




Anyone else been hit and ran?

Man, people these days just dont have any respect for other peoples things (not to mention no insurance).

Hope the cost to get everything fixed isnt too bad!

Re: Sucks to get rear ended!

Can't see all that much damage (sheet metal,taillight cover)etc.,looks to me you could pull that bumper cover off and put some heat to it and massage it back out and put it back on in under two hours....keep in mind though it will need some refinishing though in the long run (clear coat will be fractured)!

Re: Sucks to get rear ended!

Forgot to mention...yes my truck was hit in front of my house while it was parked in front on the street,I got a nice check for the damages though which I can fix myself though since I took auto body and paint in school!
Maybe take a class yourself and repair it too!

Re: Sucks to get rear ended!

thats a simple one to fix, this is what i would do if possible, get insurance claim(if your rate wont go higher) get it quoted, let them send you a check and i would use a heatgun to lightly heat up the bumper and you can push that dent out, now the paint will possibly be cracked around the dent but will look better then it does and maybe get it spot painted if needed.

Re: Sucks to get rear ended!

Damn, sucks he just drove off like that. Thing is when you're hit in the rear like that, the sound often sounds like there's a lot of damage so even if you weren't in shock, untill you get out and examine the damage you don't often realise your car is still in a state to chase them.

The sort of behavior that driver exhibited really annoys me
