well, my girlfriend and i went costume shopping the other day....

some girl hopped the curb, went across the sidewalk and skid across the grass into the front of my g/f's car. then left.




















thank god she left a note on the windshield and came back she said her foot got stuck on the gas

not much damage, gunna need a new front bumper and passenger headlight. theres only 500 miles on it one big dent the size of a basketball on the passenger side front bumper, right on the corner, it could have been just popped out if it hadnt cracked lol...

ill try and get the pics from her cell loaded on here.

i think it was about $1,300 worth of damage.

going through the other girls policy number FTW!! PT cruiser rental car FTL!!


EDIT: here are the pics....

 

Ouch....glad to hear that the lady came back and is taking the hit for what she did. Sooo many hit and runs everywhere you go.

Haha...PT cruiser...that's silly =p

 

Sorry to hear that. I would be BBB (bummed beyond belief). So since you're going through her insurance does that mean that your premium won't increase?

 

hopefully, we asked the guy from geico, and he said its not gunna change, until the insurance gets re evaluated.. which is every 6 months??

 

[inserts women driver comment]

 

What was she driving? The bump is quite low on the car--too low to be an SUV it seems--but to get a car to jump a curb like that would be challenging. I'm not quite sure how she could do that.

 

dude i swear man when ever it rains in NY ppl cant freaking drive dude...

 

it was an 02 nissan altima she hit our car with her nose, dead in the middle, the only damage to her car was on her license plate

i know man... its like hell froze over.. and everything they were ever taught gets thrown out the window lol this was actually by the Roosevelt field mall.

 

same happens in cali. once there is a hint of rain people forget how to drive.

as for your insurance going up, it won't because it wasn't a moving violation and was the other person's fault 100%. non driving violation.

 

Wow.... thats suck.. hope you can get your baby fixed soon..

 

NY??? I consider them (myself) experts in rain/snow driving. Have you driven in LA when it "rains"?? OMG, people pull over under an overpass because there's a few light sprinkly drops falling from the sky.

 

I not only agree but I believe I drive better in the rain. lol, You are the first person that I found from NY and Long Island too, Queens...Oh FYI don't ever go to flushing if you want to keep your car in tact.

 

that sucks
all i can say about the PT rental.
HAVE FUN
i have a fun experience with a PT rental.
rip the e brake, rev up to rev limiter in N, drop it into drive.
so much fun.
we had to buy new tires :/

 

OMG.............sorry about that

 

How the heck does your foot get stuck on the throttle? And then go over a curb? At least she fessed up, that's something you won't find a lot of these days.

 

Looks like the first 09 accident...

 

Were it not for the fender paint work, it would have been a fairly simply replacement of front bezel, front bumper/reinforcement, etc.

Pay extra attention to the paint repair. Check it thoroughly for match and finish. Do not accept less than excellent paint work.

Most likely, they will have to blend into the passenger front door, so check that over as well.

Good luck!

 

FTL big time... Last month I had to rent a car and I got stuck with the PT Cruiser (I wanted the Prius but so dod everyone before me). That PT is a POS!!!! handling is the worst! And forget about driving it in the rain you'll be doing 30 struggling to keep it on the road..
Rains? Even a little drizzle, makes people drive crazy here in NY. I WISH I could avoid Flushing... That's the worst! Especially Main Street!!!!




That sucks, brand new car less than 500 miles. Roosevelt Field... that sucks big time... I hope everything turns out good..

 

no in Ny some spot or town ppl are like oh nooo rain let me go 15 MPH on a parkway... as for snow we just plow into it

 

That sucks about your car. At least it wasn't major damage and she is willing to take responsibility.

I guess everybody everywhere freaks when is rains. In Texas, when it snows or ices up, you may as well stay home. I am a careful driver and though not used to snow and ice as much as the folks up north, I do know how to drive in it. It's everyone else out there that scares me. They see ice on a bridge and all slam on their brakes! It would be amusing if it wasn't so dangerous.
