My turn at the curse - Hit and run - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Rayme · 06-09-2013, 07:07 PM

UPDATE:
I went to the cops this morning and it took about 1h30. Got the guy's name and policy information, it was real easy actually, the cops were helpful and said if all cars had those it would make their jobs easier! The car will get repaired at no cost and I'll have a loaner. Here's the video for y'all!

So I went to crappy tire and when I came back to my car I notice the front bumper was poped at the fender, and had black marks. It kinda looked bad at first sight, then I just drove home to check the footage. Turns out the dodge ram on my left just took off and rubbed his back wheel ever so slighty againt the corner of my car.

My dad called me angry that I didn't call the cops (he say my facebook post..lol), I told him to chill out I have a camera evidence anyway with his plate (the guy obviously didn't notice my car at all. However I'm not too sure I want to do anything, to me this is a very minor thing, it basicly look like a rock chip and when I buff it out the superficial scuffs will disappear. The fender, headlight and corner lights are totally untouched, the signal light was scuffed in the corner almost impossible to tell and the bumper snapped back into place and lines up with the fender perfectly. The last pics shows the area after I cleaned the rubber/waxed it.

What would you do? To me it's not worth losing my car for a week or two and end up with a possibly miss matched/repainted bumper and possible more damage because some shops just suck.

honestly, since you have all the information (dude's tag) that you need to make a report, i'd say go for it. it'd possibly teach him to pay more attention, and keep this, or something worse, happening to someone else's car.

Scionshaun · 06-09-2013, 07:33 PM

Agree!

CAMBAM_6 · 06-09-2013, 07:34 PM

Um negative nobody should be hitting anybody's car and just taking off..I would report em and get my shit fixed right plain and simple..and there are plenty of reputable shops that do a great job just do your research

roddy · 06-09-2013, 07:48 PM

Sorry to see this happened. I'm with those above....minor damage or not, it's just wrong to take off. Maybe this "person" didn't even realize they did it...they need to start looking where they are going. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to teach 'em that lesson.

File a claim with the insurance company and give them the plate. They will take it from there, depending on your insurance.

Had something similar happen to one of my trucks. Gave the insurance the plate and they tracked the person down. Not a cent out of my pocket and fixed to my liking.

Thx. I'll send the video to my insurance and I'll follow their advice. I'm trying to edit the damn things cause I obviously don't want them to see the whole footage of my reaction and my driving/singing lol.

Atleast it wasn't a game changer. Sorry buddy

FRiSson · 06-09-2013, 09:20 PM

Ram drivers are the worst

Septic · 06-09-2013, 09:32 PM

Sorry to see the curse has struck again. To the OP, you need to report it ASAP to your insurance, at the very least. My insurance provider gives a 24 hour timeframe to report from the time of the incident.

IMHO, you should also report it to the cops. Hit and run is illegal, and the idiot in the truck should be able to drive without hitting parked vehicles.

PStaff716 · 06-09-2013, 09:36 PM

Gotta file a report. Sad to see how inconsiderate some people can be.. At least it wasn't too bad!

Dake · 06-09-2013, 09:48 PM

Yeah, file it. The only thing worse imo than someone doing that and running is someone not even realizing it. If you're going to drive a giant truck you better freakin' pay attention to those around you. The next thing this idiot might unknowingly sideswipe could be someone on a bike.

Rayme · 06-09-2013, 11:25 PM

So I watched the video and it turns out we clearly see the plate when I get in the parking, I should have a good case, heading to the police tomorrow first thing in the AM..I got a thumb drive with the video and still frames of the truck with the plate clearly visible.

I hope this camera pays out!

Will post video once it's all sorted out.

Wo6M · 06-10-2013, 12:12 AM

That's a good idea I hope it works out
