bish hit mah car - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

echo419 · 07-06-2018, 09:24 AM

got hit on the way home Tuesday. broad was in the left turn lane and pulled out as I was coming through the intersection into my lane and we hit together in the fenders in my lane. officer gave her a ticket and said she was at fault.

her insurance is Clear Blue Insurance and based on the reviews online this is going to suck a lot. In fact I just called them(I just got the police report) and after being on hold for 10 minutes they said I had to call back because "their system was down". fml

fender, bumper, wheel and door. I might take more pics later.

Damn, damn, damn. That really sucks. I bet she was on her cell phone just prior to pulling in front of you. I see that far too often these days. Hopefully everything works out!

looks like you saved it from being worse! Glad you're okay.

yeah I was able to slam on the breaks and get the speed down very low. I was also able to move a little to my right but I couldn't get completely over because of the car next to me. had she gotten further out or done it later there would have been at least 3 cars if not more involved.

got my passenger door, roof and window busted last year by a vandal. so when I called my friend(owns body shop) about this incident he said, "welp, I think I've got some paint left over from last time. silver linings?

Given the big dent in fender, I'm surprised there wasn't more damage to the wheel and suspension. What was she driving, an SUV or a truck that just went over the tire?

2004 Kia Optima. she had a pretty dig dent/damage to her trunk/quarter panel already. so it looks like she's just a bad driver.

car isn't driving funny or pulling in any direction as of now. I'll get a better look at it once we tare it down. I'm just not looking forward to fighting these people over OEM vs chit after market parts since I highly doubt that fender is worth the fix.

UUUUGH! I hate seeing threads like this. Glad you are ok.

Also, as damage goes. It is not that bad. Totally could have been worse.

My Best friend has a shop too, it is really nice to have a friend in the BIZ!

Get all of the details to your insurance company and let them be the ones to deal with the shady company. Your insurance will make you whole and ought to allow you to choose the shop you go to and use OE parts and will then take it up with the other. That's the way I've always dealt with dumb shit that other people have done to me.

Decep · 07-06-2018, 09:45 PM

i've always just called my own insurance company and let them go after the other company. give them the police report and you'll get your deductible back. thats what im paying them for...

tough to say without checking the alignment/frame but damage only looks cosmetic!
