Default First Accident in the Z

So I was driving to CT this morning, sitting in line at a Toll Booth in North Jersey on the Turnpike and BAM! I thought the truck that hit me was moving fast but I guess the lady rolled into me. The car is ok, just a major scratch, I hope nothing more. Gotta go call her insurance company now...

Scratch is on the Bumper. She hit me hard enough that the license plate paint on the numbers/letters made an imprint on my bumper. I can read the license plate backwards on my bumper. The truck was a rental through enterprise, and she claims to have gotten the full coverage through enterprise. I have to wait until Monday to find out. I'll post pictures tomorrow when its light out.

Another thing im worried about is damage unseen. She hit me HARD! And I had the brakes applied. I want a full frame scan, and check of the brake system. The full bumper will need to be replaced, and those mother ****ers better give me a rental while its getting fixed. Enterprise better not try and screw me. And my car is going to Nissan to get fixed. I want it perfect.

just cuz its at nissan doesn't mean it's done right, make sure it is a very reputable body shop. and as long as you are reasonable, enterprise's insurance has to listen to all your demands (they hit you, so its your call), the brakes and all is probably not gonna happen but i'm sure they're fine, you will get time on the frame rack and all though, standard procedures for 90% of hits at our shop. and definitely ask for a new bumper if you think it's that bad. screw repaired anything if you don't know who is doing the repairs. you may end up replacing the rebar too, who knows. good luck to you though man. and if that bumper doesn't match make em blend the quarter panels

probably not. Enterprise wont authorize repairs until they get the police report which NJ takes 15 days to generate. So its looking like its not gonna get fixed until I get back. No biggie. When life hands you lemons, goto ZDayZ and drive on the Dragon. LOL
