Hey guys,

I'm going to my high school and I arrive and park in our assigned parking spots. I have a 2003 Acura Cl-S with 1,350 miles and I am obsessed with keeping the car clean and I maintain it with great care. I hate the stupid chips on the front of my car. Anyways, I arrive home and my mother walks in and she says to me, "Did you get in an accident, dont be afraid to tell me. I said, "huh, what are you talking about. She brings me outside, and on my left bumper I have a huge Scratch for about 10 inches and about 2 inch were cut very deep, so that the plastic was showing. I was so angry. So, today I drive to school park in my spot and walk into school. The person who hit me, which i dont know yet, doesnt tell me that she hit my car. At the end of the day, I knew there was no way I was going to pay to get this repaired. I look at the front bumper in the 1996 Mustang Gt next to me and what do you know. I see a white paint with a scratch underneath and I knew it was the Mustang who hit me. That means this person pulled into her parking space, while my car was parked and I was in school. She hit me driving into her space! How ridicolous is that. So anyhow I wait for this person who tried to get away with hitting my car. She comes to her car and so I say to her, I know you hit my car. She says "Yea I did, I'm sorry, I will pay for it. I said you bet you will. Well anyhow I brought it to the shop today. He is taking off my bumper sanding down the paper, filling it in perfectly, (not much filling required), putting on a clearcoat and repainting the entire bumper for $200. I thought that was a pretty good deal, but I am not sure. Not like I care though since she is paying for it. High school drivers suck, and they do not know what they are doing! Oh by the way, I have a small chip on my glass, not really deep enough to put my fingernail in. Suggest any products to help reduce the appearance of the small scratch?

 

hahaahahaha. Get used to it....
200 bucks is great deal.

 

Thats sucks man...

But uhh, aren't you inadvertantly ripping on yourself too?

personally, I'd ask for a new bumper cover.

 

How do I put a picture on here, it says I can only put on a pic of 1byte? Thats impossible!

 

I agree with you completely. I'm anal about my car and I'm in HS too. Well last year when it was only 4 months or so my friend in HS rearended me going like 4 mph. There was a scartch near my rear license plate frame, but i still made him pay. 250 i think so 200 is a good deal. Tommorw my first day of school and i already have dings from last year, this year i am gonna spend 5 mins each day perfecting my door ding resistant parking.

 

high school ricers are the worst... i know this cuz few of my buddies are like that.... fuking slowest cars on the road.....and they are heellal loud tooo...

 

LoL, you are a little off subject here man. This car wasnt a ricer, it was a stock 1996 Mustang Gt. Anyhow you guys got any suggestions on how to get rid of windows scratches on the passenger side, and how do I post a pic. Ill show you the scratch

 

You can't attach files here any longer. You need an image hosting site to do the dirty work for you.

 

at least you got your $$$ man, the kids at my school woulda jus hit u on purpose.

 

Oh, that blows! I dont wanna set up a site

 

I havent got the money yet, but Im sure she will pay considering, insurance will go sky high on her if she does not

 

i park right next to my friends in the back of the lot @ school so nobody hits my shit, we have a parking lot attendant too, to make sure no body fucks w/ the cars

 

Thats sweet. All the spots go to seniors first, didnt get a choice.

 

high schoolers raise the entire insurance industry premium across the board by a certain percentage I bet

 

I agree with you on that. In the first 2 weeks at my school, only 350 kids in high school, there has been 5 accidents. What a pity.

 

Demn, when I was in High School all I wanted is a bicycle , and never got one ......

You better spend extra time studying, or this will be your last expensive car

 

Don't worry. I do fine in school. I'm pulling a 3.5 with 2 honors and an AP class in a private school. I know how important school is :P

 

What kind of school do you go to???????????? Assigned parking spots, are u like student of the month or somethin?

 

don't get a new bumper.. get them to fix it for 200 dollars man.. i'm sure she's a retard for hitting you and not even owning up to it.. but hey she was probably scared and anyway you slice it you dont want her to pay up the ass if she doesnt need to... you wont feel right about that... will you?

 

I didnt say Im replacing the bumper, I put it in the shop and the bumper is being worked on and clearcoated and repainted for $200. Oh, and ktgumbo, my school is a private school, and its first come first serve for signing up for a spot.

 

I'm just as worried when I park my car @ school. I JUST got a new 2003 last week and just started parking at school. I find it difficult to leave my car alone in the lot! I hated coming back to it to find another car parked next to me within a foot of mine!

My school has a similar spot system, we have to apply each semester and usually have to share a spot part of the week with another person, unless your a senior. Hey, at least I have a better chance of figuring out who hit me, in the case it unfortuantly might happen.

 

 

i hate insurance companies they are like legal robbers in my opinion. okay my dad has full coverage on a 2002 Tundra 4x4 SR5 v-8(which guessing would be in the mid 20's if it was totalled) his insurance rate is less than my full coverage 94 Honda Accord(which guessing would be worth 5000 bucks(cause it has 200 grand on it) if it's totalled . I have no points(knock on wood). but even if i had 30+ grand laying around I wouldn't get my CL now cause the Insurance company will pork me.
my mom's friend(which she's a safe driver cause i've rode with her a couple times) she wanted to lease (i forget what kind of car it was) just cause she was single and she wanted to lease it was going to double her insurance payments so she bought the car.

then I had a friend with a WICKED stereo system(it was worth like 1500 bucks(headunit, subs, little speakers,amp)(that was new price) anyhow he put it in called the insurance company and said look I put in a custom stereo in my car can will you cover it if anything happens to it. they said "yeah no problem." about a week later some robber cleans out his car . so he expects this check for 1500 bucks and he calls them up when he gets this check for like 200 or 300 bucks for stock crap. and they he wasn't insured on a custom stereo. he said look i told the one lady. he was going to take them to court but it's there word against his.

 

Parking lot attendant?? Another richie school perk

 

Maybe its time for your family to switch insurance companies.... Thats ridiculous

 

whatever u say dawg, i dunno if hes an attendant or what his title his but he just makes sure cars in the lot have parking passes and the cars are not keyed or whatever

 

Well, I don't know. Sounds to me like someone doesn't understand the insurance business. It's still the same....it hasn't changed over the past few years since someone is now looking to get in....

 

holy crap! highschoolers have CLSes? damnnnn... when I was in highschool I had to scrimp and save, worked my ass fof to get a civic... and then when college time came I had to take out a HUGE loan to get the CLS... must be nice to have rich parents to buy you nice cars... damn...

 

I worked my ass off for my 2002 CLS, and I rewarded myself in September of 2001, my senior year in high school. I put down 11 grand, and have 15 thousand left to pay. I have 350 a month for payments, but usually i put 400 down or so, so ill it paid off quicker than 5 years.

If one can truly work hard at it, it can happen. Then theres the rich parents that dont teach their kids a lesson.

You think high schoolers can't drive...imagine college students

This damage cost me $847 to repair

 

Key word is said...trust not what an insurance agent has to say, but by what is written down . I read in Car Audio Mag, in order for you to have your aftermarket system insured...it has be shown to the insurance agents and apraised for value. Thus that means you have to pay more in premium for it. But if you got a cool insurance, they'll pay it no big deal...but how often does that happen

 

Ok, you high school people who drive nice cars what do you do for a living that you afford or can get a loan for one.?

 

Ouch that looks like a bike or a scooter or something hit that??

Nick out

 

Well im ex-high school person now, 3 weeks into frosh year at CSUN. I tutor in math, saved my money 95% of it my junior year, was driving a paid off Nissan Quest XE, blue too

 

i dont suck at driving, everyone else does! i understand what you mean renegade, i love my car to death also. glad to hear you got that bitch and made her pay........BTW was she hott?

 

atleast she offered to pay and was honest... wait until you reach that dihonest MFer who will deny deny deny!

 

Well not sure what is was exactly...everyone has some kind of theory...oh well...

 

Man... that is a bitch!!! Sorry to see it.

I remember those SJSU parking lots as being some of the worst I'm glad I had my 93 Accord then and it wasn't as big a deal. At least I learned some aggressive parking lot maneuvering techniques while I was there ... say that scratch didn't occur by stealing another’s spot, did it

 

see i was lucky, it was my friends m3, my car and then my friends audi in a row and i was the middle car, and it was a small school, 110 kids to a class so everybody knew who we were so nobody fucked with our cars. But now, where i work they want me to drive to the bronx, brooklyn, manhatten i'm like HA! your fuckin crazy

 

I usually come to school early...around 7am for 9am classes to get a good parking. I also normally (which is pretty much always) park in 4th street parking garage. I try to only park at the spots where they have those emergency fire hoses in between because that gives quite a bit of space so I can "hug" that side more closer and get away from cars on the other side...you probably know what I'm talking about. Ghetto thing is this happened in the summer time where there is usually no one at school!
