i had my first car accident today. so i was leaving the movie threatres after watching a movie with my girl. i put my car into reverse and waited with my reverse lights on for two cars next to me to leave. backed my car out 1/4 of the way. car right behind me, a 1992 gold nissan maxima started to back out now. i stopped and tapped my horn. he went back into his space a little. a green oddessy was waiting for us now. now i think that hes letting me go first since i waited for a little while with my lights on, started backing out first, and had my car out more. now i started backing out again. when i was 1/2 way out, he started backing up again. i stopped, held my horn and he just kept going until he hit me. so we went back into our spots, and exchanged info. he was 18-21 years old. there was no visible damage to his car. you could see lines in the paint where the bumper went in. both sides of the bumper where the license plate fits has chipped, bends and creases. a 8 inch white scuff mark is above my license plate. my chrome ACURA license plate frame is also bent badly. that may be the worst part of it. here are some photos with my phone, i will be taking more with my camera tomorrow. i plan to use the insurance money to buy me a good used or new bumper with all the hardware or at least what i need and install it myself, ill just pocket the difference. no one was hurt, but its just a hassle. but hopefully ill get some money and a new bumper. so if you guys have any extras around i might consider it. ill update you guys with the insurance info including how much they are offering. any suggestions for body shop places? i live in 916 and want a local place.
