My poor Bumblebee...

I was rear-ended last month on freeway during traffic jam, the damages were not that bad but need a new bumper due to cracks in the areas where the bolts are.

The driver didn't stop in time because he was texting. Wish that I have dual view dashcam so I can show his insurance and CHP.

Anyway, his insurance is paying for the damages. First estimate was $775, but when the shop removed the bumper, he found more damages so added to the estimate which was $645, total about $1420 plus rental car.

Hello Amazon, be ready to receive my order for a dual view dashcam.

i know this feel, bro. I bought my Fit in November and some old man didn't see me behind him while backing up and T-Boned me on the passenger side. The car was literally 15 minutes old.

Damn! I'm sure you were pissed off. How bad was the damage?

about 4K worth. The door didn't look too bad tbh, but it got hit in the perfect spot to damage the frame.

I avoid damaged cars. If I were you, I would settle with his insurance and sell the car as is. Get yourself a new car. You deserve driving a new car that is not damaged.
