Will turtle wax work or do you think I should splurge on some Meguires?
Summary of what happened:
2 left turn lanes, me on the outside, CRZ on the inside. Light's green, we make our turns through the intersection. Ok, no problem there. I'm passing her in the middle lane, where I'm supposed to be, while she's in the inside lane, where she's supposed to be.
Next thing I know, I see her drift into my lane through my left rear view mirror. I immediately hit the brakes. She then end up flooring it, running into me some more, and doing a burnout... O_O panic maybe?
So okay, I'm at 4% cell phone battery... good thing I had a backup phone in my glovebox. Pull that out, call police and insurance. When I finally exit my car to take pictures, I notice her car is STILL ON, but also leaking fluids everywhere (no oil, probably washer fluid and/or coolant). I tell her to turn her car off, then police arrive and we pull off to the side. Now my car is sitting at the local dealer's body shop.
Time to gather all my docs for all the mods I have on it so I can file a diminished value claim when the time comes.
At first glance, damage looks to be about 7-8k+
Rear 1/4 replacement
Rear bumper
Trim under bumper
Rear body panel
Maybe bumper beam
Left tail light
Paint + blend
new left rear wheel and maybe 2 rear tires
Time to put some miles on a rental car...
