Hit and Run
take time out to ride your bike around the neighborhood and you will be surprised what you will see. When my car was out of commission about a year ago, i had no choice but to ride my bike to work. I would always run into mischievious people who would look at me hard just because I noticed that they were doing illegal stuff. I'm sure you can catch them. good luck
Looked at it this morning. Not as bad as I thought. I bent the fender out a little bit to stop it from rubbing and it looks mostly aligned. There is a small wrinkle in the wheel well but other than that it looks pretty much straight. I had to look at it from a funny angle to see where the dent was. Scratches buffed out easy...I think they just kissed it.
My deductible is one grand...a new fender can be had for $350. Anyone know how much it is to repaint/replace a fender?

Thats sucks about your car man. I paid about $350 for paint and damage repairs on my old integra which had a JDM front end so hopefully you shouldn't be looking at more than that. Some guy on a bicycle ran into my car when I was trying to leave work. He was on the sidewalk which is designated for pedestrians only by the way. You may also want to get your detuctable lowered to about $500. You insurance will be more monthly but you won't have to shell out as much cash if something like this comes up again. Hope it all works out man.
I just got hit a few days ago. Some lady at a red light all of a sudden put her tahoe in reverse and backed up in to me then pulled back up. I got out and the light turned green so she drove off. I caught back up with her though so it wasn't as bad for me.
Probably not worth your life but hope all things are fine.
If its not that bad take it to to place that do hail damage. I took mine to member of church who fixes hail damage(shop is his garage =D) He used some wires, wooden hammer, rubber pole to pop it out easy.
Took it to local Mits dealership and got quoted for $700, Maico $475, other places were around $5-600.
Pop it out first then see how it looks.
You have to get really close(1-2ft) to see the paint mark on mine.

That truly sucks man.. I can imagine how you feel. I always get a bit irritated when people park close to my car just because they can open their door into my car.. I would flip out and go into an abominable rage if I had seen someone hit my car and attempt to run!!
