victim of hit and run!! F&@K!!!
 
11 Attachment(s)
So this morning i went to have breakfast with the wifey, everything went all fine and dandy until i walked out and heard tires squeal!. i didn't pay much attention to it; because i am in Miami after all, so to my surprise i walk to my car and the motherfucker! that peeled out had backed into my 8!!!!!!,

i didn't bother calling the cops And seeing as how my ins would have gone up i decided not too , now i need to buy a new bumper and find a shop to put it on. in the pics you can see how my hood now has gaps in between, idk if there is frame damage but i am hoping there isn't

my bumper looks so nasty and scratched, i feel like my bumper is going to fall out lol

here are some pics of the aftermath.

... your insurance cannot go up for a hit and run period.

paulmasoner 06-26-2010 01:45 PM

yeah IIRC hit an runs go under uninsured motorist coverage

mushkid 06-26-2010 01:56 PM

well it's too late to call now, i always thought any infractions would affect it

Mazurfer 06-26-2010 02:05 PM

Also..............check with the place you ate to see if they possibly have video.
Get the MF that did it!!!!! @ssholes!

Ryan2008 06-26-2010 02:09 PM

Damn man, people are so f-in stupid :cussing:

I doubt the body is bent, I'm sure it's just the bumper cover and hood. The hood is what's going to cost you some money. I'd just get a CF one :cool:

Rynrx8 06-26-2010 02:18 PM

I had 2 grand of damage done to me before so I know the feeling. Do the body work yourself its cheap, but the hood is very hard to work with. I had to buy a new hood (not from the hit and run that was another car, i bought my 8 wrecked)

Gr8Bullet 06-26-2010 02:20 PM

sucks bro sorry to hear this its happened to my car twice.... my front bumper and rear bumper were hanging off my car.... i had to zip tie my rear up to move it and keep my trunk open to move my car to get it to the body shop.

mushkid 06-26-2010 02:23 PM

Thnx guys, I'm at the police station getting a late report. I think I would feel better if I had one

I hope my insurance can cover this

alz0rz 06-26-2010 02:29 PM

they definitely will if you have full coverage but they may make you pay the deductible.

regardless, they cannot increase your premium over this.

Gr8Bullet 06-26-2010 02:32 PM

it suck cuz sometimes your deductible may cost more then a new oem bumper....

good luck man

mushkid 06-26-2010 02:59 PM

I have full cov on the car, I just hate it when stuff like this happens. The second day we had the tl some dumdass lady hit the inside of my fender, she ran off and I couldn't chase her cuz of traffic

Good thing was that there was no damage but still, it seems that ppl are getting their licenses for free

Mazurfer 06-26-2010 03:02 PM

Don't forget to ask the cops if it's possible the restaurant might have video!
Of any place close by like a bank for that matter. Son-of-a-bitches shouldn't get away with it!

White_Shadows 06-26-2010 04:05 PM

Karma will get him/her

New Yorker 06-26-2010 04:56 PM

What an asshole.

I'm still astounded by the fact that people could do such a thing and not leave a note. Seems like every year more and more "adults" in this country behave like an 8-year old. It's just me, me, me. If I can get away with something, why would I be stupid enough to leave a note?!

F*cking bastard.

jasonrxeight 06-26-2010 05:15 PM

it wont go up since its not your fault
if you want a decent job, Id say go thu insurance.

Very completely untrue.

I had hit and run 2 months ago, but Florida has a No Fault policy, so ur screwed either way.

MazdaManiac 06-26-2010 06:31 PM

Arizona is no-fault, also.
But hit and run (as well as vandalism) are filed under comprehensive, not collision.

mushkid 06-26-2010 07:04 PM

i got my police report, now i have to wait till Monday to file my claim. hopefully tomorrow when i install my ap midpipe i will be less pissed off lol

mushkid 06-28-2010 07:57 AM

hey guys, one thing i noticed is that i smell coolant alot more after the impact; my coolant level is fine but i just find it really odd.

maybe im just looking for damages

mushkid 07-02-2010 12:40 PM

!!Update!!!

so the INS guy came to take pics today, i explained and showed the Damge; the smell of coolant and dried coolant was very alarming this time, i think the radiator got some impact so i mentioned that too. i will get more info on tuesday about teh report

now begins the fun part!!! looking for a body shop!!
