Default It happened again!

Well, it happened again. Some idiot hit my car. I just got off of work and pulled in behind this guy waiting for gas and turned off my car. I was dinking around with my coat then when I looked up I see reverse lights. I was like "you better be paying attention." Of course he wasn't, as I see his back end get closer to my car. I laid on the horn and he just kept coming. It was a 5mph impact, luckily for him, and it didn't do a ton of damage to my car. His bumper is dented, mine came out unscathed, however the bumper filler and bumper shock absorber need to be replaced and there's a scuff mark on the headlight bucket.

Thats BS. Make him have it fixed and fixed with quality parts. It seems sometimes we can't have anything good for long. Good luck on repairs and the idiot paying for it. Hopefully he will.

id do the same as stated above, make him pay for it, sure it's not a lot but it's your car that you take time on and put money into, make sure it's just as good after as it was before.

not your fault he didn't pay attention

It wasn't a hit and run. And I did get his info and filed a claim with my insurance company. I won't hear back from his insurance company until Monday.
