Hit & Run

DjSquall · 06-22-2010, 05:41 AM

Last night at 9pm I pulled over to dial a phone call, and another driver in a green Infinity G35 came up and was making a 3-point turn... Backed right into the drivers door. Pulled away, looked at me and took off. Lucky me got his license plate ## and now the cops are looking for him/her. Now there's a dent in my door and I'm tired as all crap from sitting at the collision centre until 1am. FML.

I am so so so pissed off.

Edit: so who's been through this before? I'm going to have to claim a new door... Which is really going to suck.

In for updates to what happens. I've always wondered what happens to those sort of people when you get their plate

you should have chased them!

DJ! You need to shrink wrap your car!

Had this happen to me 2 times in the first 6 months i owned my Z. Was coming into walmart, women wasnt paying attention cuz she was on her cell phone. She took the turn to wide and scraped along my driver door and took off, i couldnt see the plate so i chased after her. Caught her, she claimed she didnt know we hit each other. We moved into a parking lot to exchange info and to call the police, couldnt get ahold of the police, she agree'd to come to the station, she then blamed it on me and the cops said it was in a parking lot, they get 14+ calls a day of this crap so they wouldnt do nothing about the hit and run.

Second one happend in a parking lot as well, i wasnt in the car at the time. I was just about to go away with the army, took the car to a car wash and thats when i noticed all the damage to my rear end. Someone was moving right to left and came into a spot on my driver side...hitting the rear bumper and moving to the side. Once again, cops in edmonton wouldnt do anything.

DJ consider yourself lucky you got good cops up there and not lazy asses like we do in edmonton.

I was too freaked out to chase after him lol and I instantly dialed 911! I was repeating the license plate ## while he was pulling away, and then I'm like oh crap! He's actually taking off!! All of or gets recorded on the 911 call

from what everyone is telling me so far, I basically got hit by a gold mine.

I was in the car with a friend, who came and did the report with me at the collision centre, and 3 more witnesses who saw everything happen. This guy is so screwed.

And yeah I gotta bubble wrap my car. This poor baby is just getting hurt over and over

Saturday night after I dj'ed my second party, which was a full straight 8-hour set, I went to my friends building to sleep and curbed it in the underground because I LITERALLY driving with my eyes closed.... I was beyond exhausted... Rim took a scrape and the side skirt a little scratched at the bottom. After I bang her up in the winter, I'm going to get that amuse vestito and just stay the F away from parking lots lol.

P.S. I'm very lucky I was on a street when this all happened. If I was on private property, it wouldve been 50/50. But in this case, I'm actually a winner!! Now I'm waiting for the cops to get around to my case and find that driver. Going to insurance broker tonight to get them involved as well.. I only have 48hr to report it to them.

Da.Menace · 06-22-2010, 12:26 PM

DJ you did the right thing. Calling 911 is the first thing you should do. Something similar happened to me 2 yrs ago when I was still driving my Audi.

The guy caused an 3 car accident + 1 car minor damage, and just took off.

Luckily, including myself, there was 5 witnesses, 4 of which including myself got his license plate down (it was a custom plate, easy to remember). The guy got charged for leaving the scene of accident, etc etc etc.

G37Sam · 06-22-2010, 12:33 PM

If it's modded then he's most probably on G35driver

Sorry to hear and GL

LMBmikeZ · 06-22-2010, 06:36 PM

shitty luck dude sorry to hear that!

LMBmikeZ · 06-22-2010, 06:37 PM

o ya be nice to your Z!

susu · 06-22-2010, 07:28 PM

Aw DJ , sorry to hear about your misfortune. That Infiniti driver likely might have other reasons to run away ... alcohol?, insurance or licencing issues? Anyways that really sucks to have this done to you within 2 months of getting your babe.

DjSquall · 06-22-2010, 09:37 PM

Yep... Lucky me also has a couple old bosses that were cops. I'm going to go visit them when I get a chance, since they still have lots of buddies in the force who may be able to find the vehicle sooner. Apparently tgis process is going to take about 3 weeks

I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now lol.

alphawerx · 06-22-2010, 10:45 PM

sorry to hear that.... if you got the plate, then you have nothing to worry. The claim will not affect you if its a hit and run and plus you have the plate. So, no worries

Weld a full body cage around your car and you'll never have any problems lol jk'n!
