Ouch,sorry that this happened to you.
He also hit a celica?!?!?! I use to baby a celica (I have pics if anyone wants

) and if anyone hurt my baby... I'd probably be featured on the news. (Sadly she isn't with us anymore.)

Is it wrong that I would want to go through insurance? Shows him he just can't do this shit all the time. How he still has a license is beyond me.

Wow - so sorry to hear this. I went crazy when the idiot that parked my car after my first oil change scraped up the underside of my front bumper on a curb stop, and that wasn't even visible unless you were on the ground looking up underneath the car.

At least you can take solace in that he left a note and therefor you're not stuck with the bill to boot. Maybe time to get a dash cam? I hope all goes well working it out with the insurance and getting her fixed up.

Sorry for your eventful car ownership experiences.

Two assumptions in this thread make me wonder if a) he's legally licensed in this country and b) he has insurance.

Good luck with the repair and check into diminished value compensation.

Ouch!

DC2R · 01-30-2014, 10:10 PM

DrSleepy · 01-31-2014, 09:16 AM

So an update. That evening the neighbor dropped off a check covering the damages and the rental fee. I may drop off the twin at the shop and suck it up to the rental company for something not too bad.

Take his money, then file a claim with his insurance...

Yikes. Are you sure it was an "accident"?
Maybe he just doesn't like sporty Toyotas....

Ding, fries are done.

Looks great buddy! I would move far away from that idiot. He has affinity to running into your lovely Toyota sports cars. Glad she looks restored to OEM!

Is it just me or do our cars attract idiots more so than usual? I see so many people on this forum having nimrods run into our cars. The person who hits mine in such a stupid accident would not be so lucky. I am not reluctant to throw a blow at them or their car if it is pure stupidity that caused the accident.

I just about got plowed yesterday by a truck with an idiot riding with a gangsta lean on his phone. The roads were slick and he was taking a turn turn onto the street I was turning from. He was coming in hot and had his signal on. He was heading straight for my front end. When he realized he could not manage the turn as he was sliding. I already had my door open to get out and beat the shit out of him before he made a good decision to stay straight on the road.

Why he keeps running into your vehicles? I would also suggest that you alert him to your new policy of for every time you hit my vehicle, I'm going to hit you and leave the exact same marks you leave on the car. 3 times c'mon man!

Car looks good BTW.

I prefer going back to my roots and using a bat to the knees as someone mentioned earlier in the thread. Thanks for all the good words people, now that this gave me a nice nest egg I'll be buying some parts to play.
