Redog Was Hit

[Redog]

OK Redog was bumped in a parking lot and the insurance is saying it's a "collision" not a comp claim

Insurance says it has $414 in damage my dec. is $500

The bumper is scuffed up bad and it's cockedeyed a bit, bulging on one side pulled in on the other

[Redog]

another

The scuff is only on the back, up closer to the wheel is road salt.

I'll get it fixed. The dog scrathed up the rear bumper a bit anyway so it's an excuse to get it repainted.

I put the dog in the trunk and flod down the seats for 2 reasons

1 more room for him

2 he can damage the leather ;)

Know who did it? It sounds like it's time for plan B. :D In all seriousness Ken, I'm sorry to hear it, man. It sounds like you just need to bite the bullet and pay the $414.00 outta pocket. :(

[Redog]

yeah I know

I found a shop that said $350 so, after vacation I get it fixed. Hey I'll get a free rental car :thumbsup:

[Youngblood77]

For 350 you get it done PLUS a rental car? Sounds like a good deal to me man. Just schedual it on a Friday so you can take the rental car and give it a beating on the track before you have to take it back. :lol:

[Oldsman]

yea hit and runs is covered under collision. now what i would do if i was you Ken is don't claim it and just pay out of pocket. because if you claim it, your insurance will go up. any claim under collision causes a rate increase.

[smlzalero]

Aww, that sucks ass, man. I wouldn't bother claiming it.

[bluephoAm]

That's a lot of cash for what it seems...

[-Alero-]

dare i say....... body kit?

[Eh_nigma]

Sometimes you just need an excuse eh? My front fender was kicked... and that little plastic "bridge" infront of the radiator was cracked. Went to GM to see what a new one would cost... just to know... well, with painting included, $980 CND... *sigh*... I'd rather not... instead, it was a rivet gun, backing plate, drill gun, and the best plastic rivetting I've done...

Tough break though Redog... I agree with the other couple comments here, don't claim it. But if you do, see what those rental cars run... I still remember when mine was in the shop... had two of the worst rentals in history, and thus, I swore by my motto... "Eh! It's a rental!" :lol:

[mike2002]

it almost looks like that other car was white/siver, you might be able to buff most of those scuffs out, they make some stuff in a orange bottle, i think its "Nufinish" or somthing like that, its been a while, but its like liquid sandpaper, should take alot of that out.

sorry to hear that...sucks, my back bumper is pretty bad from the previous owner

[Crolero]

i feal for ya Redog, had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. I was on work related trip and parked my alero in the airport parking lot and when i got back i saw it right away. how do people hit parked cars? idiots, tools, morons!

[Redog]

I already claimed it, cause I figured it would be under comp, but my insurance isn't going up. The guy told me it had to be more than $1150 in damage for the rate to increase

But they are paying for the rental. I won't be taking it in until I come home from vaca

Maybe a track day is in the future ;)

[Redog]

:lol: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA :lol:

$350 my ass!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

I used Meguiars Strach X and now it's all gone :thumbsup:

Now the car has a clean spot <_<
