My Z got hit

Ventruck · 11-08-2016, 10:56 PM

Sucks dude. Had someone hit my fender while parked as well. Difference was, he was a city/gov worker on job and pretty much obligated to call it in (his insurance saves his *** anyway). I JUST got my deductible refunded like last week, and this happened in July.

I didn't even bother pursuing refund for the POS Jetta I rented (and returned early because it sucked that much).

There's a lot to dwell into in terms of the outlook of drivers/driving/automobile ownership. I do think the bar has to be raised some way to qualify for a driver's license. I'd even go as far to issue renewal tests because there are seriously people who can't control >2,000lbs of moving metal roaming the streets on a regular basis. Really, the only people I can *trust* on the road are people in much more expensive cars, faster cars, or 18 wheelers. They know about the abstracts of driving, like have perspective of space and not being an idiot, and apparently don't want their car ****ed up either.

And i thought i had it bad

sorry to hear that man.

driving is a privilege and its importance is sometimes underrated, unfortunately

How can someone hit a car like that and pretend nothing happen and just drive away? At least the damage is not revere.

UPDATE
Got my Z back just in time for the holidays

Shes looking as good as new, paint color matched and fender and door were straightened to perfection

Heres a few pics

Well, a bit of an update: went to the shop this morning and got an estimate... $1,278.29 including taxes

Also set up an appointment with my insurance company for next wednesday. Really hope to have this solved asap

Will keep you guys posted

Actually that's about what I had quoted as well.

$500 deductible (which like I said, eventually got refunded).

Another $80 out of my pocket got my front bumper repainted (general wear) at discount. The garbo Jetta was like $130. I should've just indulged in something for the weekend if I knew I was going to pay for that.

P's_Z · 11-18-2016, 06:43 PM

So a bit of an update, left my car at the shop yesterday and was told it will probably be ready by next wednesday before tksgiving

On the flipside, while waiting for my wife to pick me up at the shop, she got into a fender bender and hit the car in front of her, less than a mile away from the shop

Talk about bad luck, but at least shes ok and the damage was minimal. Still, now we got to fix her car once the Z is out of the shop

BboyZ · 11-18-2016, 07:18 PM

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Glad she OK.
