I'm super pissed right now. Was involved in a hit and run. Was sitting at a stop light and it just turned green and his guy in a jacked up F-250 was a bit too edgar and rammed into the back of me. I pulled over thinking he was going to do the same and he took off. I tried to read the plates but couldn't and then tried to track him down but he was gone. The only real damage on the outside that I can see is the trunk lid does not sit flush anymore and it is caved in a bit. Not sure if there is structure damage. Really hope it's not too bad to fix. I really f**king hate people!!

Sad to see that happen to you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Glad the damage is minor and you are OK. Hopefully it will be easily repairable. I have a BlackVue front & rear camera system sitting in my garage and was planning to install it in my car for this exact reason. I have seen many hit and runs where the responsible party just flees. That seems to be the current attitude in CA.... |

That seems to be the current attitude in CA.... My basically brand new CRV was dinged in the parking lot at work (community college). The kid left a note and when I retrieved the note, witnesses came back and left notes to help. Then they found me. Kid was great. Mom wanted to pay under the table. I said "I'm sorry, I'm a dean at the college and kind of have to follow the rules" If the police wonder why I keep my phone at hand. . it's to snap a photo if I'm hit like you. It happened in Iowa a long time ago. 1980 Dodge Mirada (tank) rear ended by a drunk guy in a pickup. I damn well chased him down and gave the police his address. Nothing happened to him. I'm guessing he was related to someone high up in the police force. Mirada was totaled (still drove). Ugh!! |
