Red face bad/good news

I was driving to market city to eat at Ginas BBQ. As i was in the parking lot, the SUV in front of me started to reverse to make room for the car in front of her coming out of a parking stall. I honked my horn for a good 10 seconds, yet she kept reversing. I did not want to reverse my car because my friend was behind me with his s2k and i didnt want to hit him. So, yea, she reversed into my front bumper, leaving a phat scratch, two noticable indents and a million of little scatches (PICS will be posted later). So that's the bad news.

The good news is that i saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to geico. naw, im just joking. The good news is that my insurance will be giving me a phat check. With that money i can get my current bumper painted and also have enough money to buy a genuine NISMO V2 bumper PAINTED! My friend works at nissan and he told me that they dropped the price for the V2. =]

But im still F**Ken pissed about the accident.

Hey, I did the same thing. me and wifey was head'n to vegas....she was driving, I was sleep. About 1030pm, she hit a truck tire doing about 90mp...tore my original bumper and lip off....insurance paid good (Giego) ...instead of replacing bumper I bought the blitz bumber...a year later...hit a truck tire going to lousianna doing about 85mph on I10..didn't see the dam thing to dark....completely smashed the Blitz bumper...now I'm back to the original bumper and complete trial force lip and kit. luckly here in Hawaii there are no big 18 wheeler truck tire treads on the Interstate....I10, I95 south and North..we be roll'n but truck tires treads are a hazard...good luck.

that sucks man... But yeah, i have geico too, and my g.f. works for them ...

I was hoping too that my car would get hit on my rear bumper so i could buy my nismo rear, and maybe have a little cash left over for some of my wing. Every night at work, i leave my Z unlocked, and my keys hanging on my locker so someone could steal my car. That way i can get geico to pay off my car, and my "gap" insurance would pay off my entire loan... Then i could buy another Z, and pay less every month ... My g.f. does the claims for geico, so i'll tell her hook you up with more damage if she gets your claim...

I had geico and it was a great company until i had to fire a claim. It was a friggin nightmare it took me 6 months to finally get my car fixed (approx 15 hrs worth of repairs). I dropped them and have not been happier since. oh yeah and my door still leaks

Damn when I filled a claim on my previous car I got a check the same day. Can't beat that IMO.
