Fixing a boo-boo

I took my 6-day-old car to the shop today for repair. Thankfully, her insurance company is covering all the costs of the repair AND a rent-a-car for a week. I should get my car back the beginning of next week.

I found out that the lady who hit me was the doctor's wife. I'm sure she has plenty of money to fix my damages due to her failure to yield!

The loaner I got for the week is awesome! It looks alittle like the car from Back to the Future that Marty McFly drives (ok maybe not so much but it does remind me of it). Anyway, the one down fall is that it certainly isn't a gas saver. Oh my! I'm dreading the huge gas bill I will have come this weekend.

All in all, it is good news.

For once I'm speechless

No words can describe the feeling of having a brand new car (for less than 7 days) and some bitch hits you in a parking lot.

I was backed out of my parking spot, brakes pressed, and about to put it in drive when a SUV hits the back of me. She gets out of the car and asks, "Well, what do you want to do about it?" Are you serious???

We exchanged information and I immediately went to 2 different auto collision centers to get an estimate. $1300 worth of damage! If it was a couple hundred then I would pay for it out of my pocket. It's not worth getting her insurance company involved but I'm not going to pay $1300 for her mistake!

My Damage

A piece of my tail light cover.

Her damage #1

Her damage #2

Yes, that's right.....she walked away with a couple of scratches on her car.
