jesus christ people... first guy is a showsman who decides to back out into my rear quarterpanel, passenger side. not a big bump but needed to be fixed with a new fender and repainted....then i swear not an hour later, another guy (another suv!) backs into my car! this time its in the front quarter panel / door! i swear..... the only good thing out of this is that the people who hit me were nice and gave the info needed without....yea.


im still pissed.

I would have been pissed with the first guy for sure, but the second guy probably woulda got killed or beaten severly. Thats shitty, hit em' where it hurts (the pocket$$$)!!

Stueck

yea, the back just needs the fender done (going full blown on both, will NOT bondo or anything, i want brand new stock driectly-from-mazda-japan parts) but the front BETTER get the quarter panel AND the door. the door has some heavy @$$ scratches in it, and im not going to let it just get repainted!


(i hold my tongue very well right now....URDCIKGF^(*$^%ED )

Stueck

oh, and dont look for a lawsuit....they were genuinely nice people...just need to (*^%)&%$ing look where they are going....uetge3!

dude I feel your pain. some guy on a motorcycle nailed the **** outta my protege's driver side door and fender, but I used the money from the insurance to pay off the rest of what I owed on the car. So I just now (a year and a half later) fixed my car myself. bondo sucks by the way!! EVER COAT!

Da P-Funk!

Is this the oppty to get the car totally repainted? I kinda' wish the same would happen to me. I would be Titanium grey now.

eh. It is not the end of the world.

...do the bodywork yourself, and save the insurance check for more mods?

Stueck

yea, im going to get a high estimate on my car, show the insurance company, then go to a cheaper place to get it fixed...save me a few bux. yea, im definately trying to get some money off the insurance company. people rippin me off...

hey, i totaled my car ('03 lx) - insurance paid it off and cut me a check for $1900 - got an '03 msp (I owe the same i owed on the lx) - AND getting a check soon from dealership for my GAP and extended warranty refund

Stueck

luuuucky! i wanted to get a MSP but being how it is blue (i loove black cars) and insurance would RAPE me i just stuck with the pro.

(side note) im saving up some moolah for gas, when i get enough i might make a trip to dragons tail. tell you when i go?

Jackelope

hmm. my msp is black... thinking of the mp3? - and my insurance went up $80/year

sure - let me know, went through there last weekend.. tailgated a F150 one way, and a cavalier the other way! Wish people would just move outta the way.

Stueck

it might have been, but im leaning more on the MSP....its been a while since i last went out over there. although they have had a miata sitting there for about 9 months, might get a reaaaal good deal on that.

how was the trip?

Jackelope

Great as usual - rained some though - but overall was fun. I got new tires that morning, *tested* them that afternoon. There is actually another road near there too, not as famous as the tail of the dragon (And a little rougher) - that is one the way from my house getting there.. can't remember which towns it connects.. have to look it up.

Stueck

yea, im going to get directions when i go home. i found directions to the tail but only coming from tennessee. it shouldnt be that hard to get there considering that we go to the mountains to go camping.

well im off to lunch, i'll get everything ready when i get home. nice talkin to you

Jackelope

I say meet in Franklin, NC or Bryson City - for you i would say catch I-40 -> cherokee, bryson city - gone to lunch!
