Agghhh stupid accident

Parking in front of my place and I cut the turn too close (oncoming car made it tight). Wheel wheel dented on my truck which I promptly popped back out, other than that just a few scuffs.

Left a note in the persons car. Hopefully insurance won't ream me on this

 

Ouch!

 

I live across the street, where can I go?

Besides that's bad karma. I know ppl
do it all the time though

 

You did right OP

 

Where you love is your own business bud! Besides, it's just a joke!

 

Its a shame that somebody will pay to fix that old Buick. Based on the repair costs and the worth of that LeSabre it's probably totaled haha.

 

Does that make it worse for me?

I'm hoping the person is just happy that I was honest and left a note and says don't worry about it, but I dunno. The damage is visible enough to be an eyesore. maybe they can just punch it back out and it wouldnt look "as bad"

 

No, in theory it could be better if cost to repair is more than worth and they total it.

Either way wait and see if they call and go from there. Maybe offer to pay the repair cost yourself and not go through insurance. Keep us posted.

 

Ok, cool. I'll wait to see what happens. My deductible is $500, so if it's higher than that to fix I may just go through insurance. Apparently GEICO has a "accident forgiveness" policy if it's your first claim and you have a clean record, meaning they won't raise your rates. Once you hit your 2nd claim though that could change. I'd need to confirm that.

 

Like ABA180 says, be honest and offer to repair. Sheet metal looks OK, that "bumper" is just a plastic/rubber cover that should be an easy fix. PoS that old and they may just want to take a bit of cash, bump it out and call it good.

Good on you for being honest about it though.

 

If that was me I'd have that feeling as well..if that cover pushes out maybe throw me $100 for my headache and shake my hand, thanks for the honesty.

 

Hell I'd offer to wash and wax the car while I was at it..

 

You're a stand up guy OP!! Well done on being honest and leaving a note.
Besides, It's a small thing and you'll likely be a more careful driver in the future because of this.

 

Yep! I'll even buy him beers! This could go one of 2 ways I think, with the "bad" way meaning I just need to file a claim and go through all that. We will see. I'll update this thread with the result!

 

Is his wife hawt? If she is, offer to take her out for some beers.

 

There is a handicap sticker on the license plate so I doubt it

 

This entire situation is bad. Good for you for leaving a note and owning up to it. Still though, I wonder if the daughter is hawt.

 

That's a fair question, I will let you know
