Sorry to hear about that.

Skylines are in the wars lately :P

+1, I reckon, this just happened today, when I came back to my car from uni, I found a lancer up on my car's arse. Apparently the driver forgot to put her handbrake on, when she parked & this caused the car to slide downwards from the slop & right into my car's arse.

wtf.

Any damage? i would of kicked the shit out of the lancer... literally.

^^^

Some faint marks on the bumper, think my metal exhaust cannon absorbed most of the impact. Made a big dent in the lancer.

I waited for the driver to come back, & the 2 girls where saying a bunch of sorrys, except they didn't want to pay anything...

Long story short, mainly cause, I had some stretch marks on the side of the bumper near (but not on it) where their car hit mine, saying that the damage there is much more significant than the one they caused.

& when I said I don't want them to pay for the repair of my other marks thats on the side, just the portion to fix this bit up.Then they said, how it would be impossible to find out how much to fix it, since you need to respray the whole bumper, bla bla bla, mainly mentioning how its faint & you can't see it, well maybe you can't see it, but I can.

They also tried to play the "I'm so sorry, I'll willing to help out (except I don't want to pay)... want this to end nice, don't want this to end bad bla bla bla" card.

But sorry sister! That card don't work on me, the only thing that settles conflicts in this world in my book is $.

Anyway, In the end, she agreed to come with me to my panel repairer next Wednesday to get quote(s) on the repairs & she will pay the amount to repair those marks.

I'm not expecting her to pay much ($50 at most I reckon) but thats $50 less for me to pay which is always good in my book ;) & considering I only get ~$60 per shift for work, thats alot.

& finally, I'm not gonna act all high & mighty & say "its not the $ but its the principle that matters", it isn't for me, its the $ that matters. & Yes, coz I'm very cheap, (read my signature, comes from the family).

Yes it is true, everything comes in 3's!!!

i hope nothing else happens to my car, this is only the 2nd really bad prang :)

****dont jinx myself*****

So true, think this is my 3rd strike of bad luck since last week.

1- some c*nt baned their door on my car at work, leaving a big white mark.

2- I failed my lab for one of my units... well this was kinda expected since I always do sh*t in them, just this one was sh*t-er than usual.

3- & now this...

EDIT: Took some photos, just uploaded via BT from my phone to the laptop

Yeah, they were mainly talking about how the stratches here are worser than the ones they caused at the back... that doesn't mean you can walk away without paying a cent, not in my book sister.

Finally, apologies to Anahera for hijacking your thread.

Erin, sorry to hear!! Although its not my style, I love this car, it's immaculate. :(. And from my point of veiw, if you hit someone it's your fault!! Even if you run up the back of them, cos your either too close or not paying attension. Hope to see you out cruising again soon!!

George, that's f**ked mate! And the fact she'll only pay to fix that bit is worse. Who cares if they're more scratches on it? She still dented it, she should pay for it. If your car rolled onto hers she'd expect u 2 repair it!! Lucky you got to the car first, what's the bet she'd do a runner?

George,

Have a read thru some legal documents.

Im pretty sure due to that fact she hit ur bumper, regardless of the fact that it already had some stratches, she still has to pay to fix it. As you cant just spray one small spot of ur bumper to fix what she did, u have to spray all of it. Otherwise the colour wont match. The fact in doing so will fix the other stratches is besides the point.

I remember reading some about this in my legal studies, tho im not 100% sure. So have a chat with a few more "legal minded" people.

I dont think of it as being cheap, it was her fault for not putting her handbrake up, so she should pay for it. I would of done the same thing as u did.

Tell me one thing.... was she blonde?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
