Unhappy ugly rear

this is my 8 being worked on at a shop.



i got rear ended a couple weeks ago. i gave my 8 to browning mazda so they're working on it. turns out that they need to order a replacement exhaust. the stock costs $570. since the insurance company is paying for it, i said hey why don't we put the racing beat rev8 exhaust on instead? they said sure. i just have to pay the difference. so i got the rev8 catback exhaust for $620 at mazdaparts.com. a brand new exhaust for just $50 out of my pocket. good deal.

on my way driving to lunch with 3 friends, i was tryin to make a right on a local street. then outta nowhere this pickup truck rear ends me at like 30mph, whiplashing all of us back into the seats. so i pull over, but this guy starts speeding away. i tried chasing him a couple blocks, but this guy must've ran reds and weaved his way out, so no luck. the police come to the scene and while i'm talking to them, there's another 2 cars across the street pulled over with another cop. they were reporting a hit&run FROM THE SAME TRUCK. it just so happened that this ****** hit those 2 cars, sped away a couple blocks, then hit me and kept runnin. there were witnesses and they got a partial license plate, but the cops haven't found him yet. so now i'm responsible for my damages.
right now it's at browning mazda in cerritos, who worked on my car in the past and they did an awesome job, so i'm not too worried about the repairs.
