Got backed into

So I was at the Costco Gas Station in Van Nuys, so I was waiting behind this lady in an SUV. I was about a car and a half behind her and in park. I see here put in reverse, there was an open stop in the next lane. But she keeps on going so I laid on the horn and try to pop in reverse, but its too late her metal bumber comes on top of mine and hits the hood, making it bend. At this time i was like WTF!! and I just wanted to her. and . I got out, and saw what happen. Well found out she doesnt have insurance, so my insurance company is handling it. Hopefully I can get if fixed soon. Here are some pictures.

shit, same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive. looks like it's gonna take some work, especially since the paint chipped.

I would of blacked out on the biatch, and caused some damage to her SUV that women can't drive so she can feel your pain. My civic got smashed like that and I cursed out the guy and everyone on the block for just being there. That cat didn't have insurance either so I told him pay me or I'm bring the police to your house. Immigrants without licenses or papers are scared of the poli. Needless to say I got 4k off the guy and sold my damaged civic for 2K
