Yup, that's what I would do. I think my estimate for that same "opps sorry I hit your Z" damage on my car was about $600. Use one of the quotes to fix your car, and use the other to add headers or a plenum spacer or something

Holy **** this must be one of the most singularly unlucky things I have ever heard about... get some pro help with that!

Here is an idea:

J/K... seriously, you got a lot of self-control. I know **** happens, but it does not usually do within such a short timeframe! I would have probably made a huge fuss from the first time... call me 'sensitive'.

Hope you get it all straightened out and your car back in optimal conditions right away.

Must be that magnetic black sucking cars into you.

Seriously tho, sorry to hear about it. That has got to be uber frustrating.

This is what I would do:

-Call both of them to check whether one wants to settle it without making an insurance claim, let's say for 400/500$ Don't tell them it happened twice that day!
-Get the damage repaired via insurance claiming all damage came from one accident.

holy crap man, i would totally lose my mind! I got rear ended from someone going about 10 mph 1 month after I got the Z. It was in the shop for 9 business days and when I got it back it took some getting use to driving it again. Not being able to drive the Z sucked ***. By the way, I'm paranoid as hell now.

But as others have mentioned, get money from both parties and pocket the change for your heartache

I feel your pain man. When I had my Stealth something similar happened. First, my cousin backed into the rear fender. Got that fixed and a few days later on my way to an interview, someone sideswiped me...got the damage from that one fixed, and the last step was to get a replacement side view mirror. Went to Safelite to get a replacement, and was on my way home when BAM, some idiot without insurance rear-ends me.

When it rains it pours I guess.
