Got hit in the garage at work today. She called security and owned up to it and we traded information and everything. It's my first experience with insurance companies and my first accident. Wish me luck!

P.S. Can anyone in NoVa give me some good shop recommendations?

[EDIT]To those of you wondering I'm using the Blackvue DR500. I did a review on it a while back: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46712
It's not great, but it gets the job done.

Any pics of the damage?

People need to learn how to drive.

They're not great because of where I was parked and the sunlight hitting the paint, but basically she hit the areas of the car that has sharp, protruding angles.

DaJo · 12-05-2013, 10:49 PM

At least she owned up to it. Sorry to see it damaged... Hope you get it looking like new again.

Missy · 12-05-2013, 11:13 PM

I'm so glad it's not too bad. Hopefully it'll be fixed ASAP and you'll have her back, you def get seperation anxiety with this car. Haha

Also I want one of these damn cameras..

FRSTRM · 12-05-2013, 11:15 PM

Exactly why I got a dash cam

luckily I haven't needed it for this... Sorry this happened to you!

Lonewolf · 12-05-2013, 11:15 PM

It's amazing that she owned up to it...maybe there is hope for humanity after all...

humfrz · 12-05-2013, 11:30 PM

UGH - that's a nasty scrape .....

However, it looks like it should fix up pretty easy...

Ouch! Glad it seems to be working out well since she owned up to it.

ApolloSki · 12-05-2013, 11:38 PM

Insurance company should be a breeze since you have that nifty dash cam.

Pbrown · 12-05-2013, 11:38 PM

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!! Morons like this is why my car never sees parking lots. Stay off the fucking roads douche!!!!!!:mad025 9: and finally

Sorry to see this.

DoopaTroopa · 12-05-2013, 11:46 PM

I appreciate everyone's well wishes. She left a note on my car before she went to security. It said something like "I hit your car. If you get this before I can notify security, my number is XXX-XX-XXXX." Seeing as how she did the right thing I didn't even get mad. I just said "Ma'am are you hurt?" "No." "Then don't stress about it. Let the insurance people deal with it. Just go to work and sweat it off"

I thought it was pretty funny too how the security officer was like "What's that? Is it a... uh-uh a Supra?"

Screw Loose Dan · 12-05-2013, 11:53 PM

Glad you took it in stride. Accidents happen. We have all had brain farts. Some get caught on camera, some don't. Some people own up and some don't. It's good she owned up to doing it and even better you didn't make the situation any worse for her.

In the original photo footage can you read the plate number?

I found a door ding on my car today after owning it without a scratch for almost 5 months!! I parked so far away from the entrance where there were no cars near me and while eating at the restaurant, I looked out the window and I saw this guy drive past my car in his truck, then turn around and come back to park right next to my car. I saw this redneck guy getting out of the truck and walk away. I came back to my car about 10 minutes later and noticed a ding on the door matching up to the height of the corner of his door.

It took all the strength in me to not cave his door in with my foot.

I'll probably try that homemade PDR trick with the hair dryer and compressed air at some point.

But anyway, mine is nowhere near as bad as yours, but I'm sure she'll be looking brand new in no time, especially since the other driver owned up to it and her insurance will take care of you.
