FL victim of hit and run!! F&@K!!!

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 ************! 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.

Damn man, people are so f-in stupid

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

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)

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

regardless, they cannot increase your premium over this.

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

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!

What an *******.

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.

Very completely untrue.

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

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