fuck meheheheeheeeee

So...

Yesterday, I drive to school. Except all the government turds changed the street parking time limits. Instead of no parking earlier than 8AM, it's 10AM. Crap.

So I find a spot in a dead-end road that's about a 5-minute walk from school, cause its the only damn place I can park. I'm the only car there, and the street is about 500 metres long.

So I hike to school, day goes like crap(3 tests, 2 more today). I decide to leave early from school.

I hike back to the car, and as I'm walking up the street, my car comes into view. I see some white glowing off the driver's door, and I think it's just a trick of the light. I come closer and see nothing where the driver's mirror should be. Ohhh shit.

Running up to the car, my worst fears have been confirmed. It's been hit! Driver's door skin is covered in one massive dent/scratch, with the driver's mirror pushed into the window. Fuck. Me.

Thankfully, insurance covers hit and runs, and the mirror hasn't cracked the window. Maddest I've even been, I stuff my school stuff in the trunk and get home. Of course, me being the genius I am , left a car with a dark exterior and a black leather interior right in the sun. So of course, just to piss me off, the interior is searing hot.

I roll down the driver's window on auto so i can reach out and hold the mirror while driving. about 3/4 of the way down it jams. Stupid me. My freaking door had just been slammed in. So I grab hold of the mirror and go on my way, sticking to the side streets to avoid embarrasment and further risk of accident.

Of course, I get lost. So I pull over to look at a map, and I notice a business card on the hood. It's left from the driver that hit me. there's a note on the back. "I'm at fault. Please call 416-xxx-xxxx". Sweet, the driver will be cooperative. I call the number and leave a message. Just then, an Elantra full of kids pass by, laughing their asses off. Great. Embarrassment factor complete, along with the lack of self-confidence factor. I hate my life.

I find a body shop in the middle of all the mansions (forest hill) and ask for a ballpark quote just from looking at it real quick. I ask that he do it quick because I'm in a rush to get home. Guy says sure, goes in the back, gets a clipboard, takes down make, model, license plate, and VIN. I asked for a quote, not a freaking carfax. Anyways, I get a quote for $2000. Right. Leaving that place.

So now I'm left with a busted up driver's door worth two grand of repairs, and a driver's window that's popped out and won't roll up. The car is officially undrivable. Guy hasn't called back yet.

Fuck
My
Life.

 

That sucks, but good thing the guilty party left a card. It's standard MO for body shops to get your make, model, VIN and license plate for a quote. They do that so that you don't swap cars on them after getting the quote. Also, it helps track down stolen cars that are brought to body shops to get new paint jobs or whatever to change the appearance.

 

dang sucks for you man

 

How did someone hit you with those pink wheels? I could see them in the dark.

Glad that the person owned up to it. At least there are some decent people still left in the world.

 

i understand the pain of having your car hit. but you are definitely taking it harder than you should. its just a fucking car. who cares about the humiliation factor? and a dented door and broken mirror dont make a car undrivable.

unrealistically high standards make a car undrivable.

hope you get back on your feet soon

 

driver's window popped out and won't roll back up, I don't wanna take any risks with theft. And I guess I'm just really pissed in general, The car was absolutely perfect when I bought it.

 

I wouldn't stress over it, at least the person left a card and wasn't a complete douche. It sucks, but if you live in the city and park on the streets I think it's just a matter of time before it happens.

 

Imagine if he didn't leave a note at all. I'd be glad

 

Yeah, I'm glad he left a note. He would've gotten away easily in the area. But the Cavalier got away for eight years, save a dent from my aunt backing out of the driveway and hitting it.

 

Why would you be glad? I'm guessing it's not sarcasm, no red text lol.

If he didn't leave a note at all i wouldve had to go through insurance, and lord knows that would've been a bitch.

 

Well on my TL i got side swiped by a fucking dear, yes, a dear and i needed both door skins replaced and drivers side mirror. The total came out to nearly $7000. $2000 doesnt sound all that bad.

 

what college?

 

OP is in HS still.

 

oh lol

what school then. my high school was just like that

 

I meant I'd be glad (if I were you, because he did leave info).

 

WTF? Did you just copy and paste part of my first post?

 

 

That's sucks. I would contact my insurance company at once and provide them with the person's name and number.

"Just then, an Elantra full of kids pass by, laughing their asses off. Great. Embarrassment factor complete, along with the lack of self-confidence factor. I hate my life."

This part just cracked me up.

 

Lucky bastard, when someone hit me two weeks ago, they didn't leave a note, just some paint. You have nothing to complain about.

 

do you go to forest hills high school? all the kids there drive like idiots, I would never leave my car near it

 

They're riding in an Elantra, I think the OP should be the one laughing at them... toot toot here comes the grandma car.

 

ah, how such feeble events were so disasterous at 16 - the 5 minute HIKE to high school, the douche guy who voluntarily claims to be at fault.

how tragic.

sorry for the sarcasm. i used to live in queens. when parking on the streets, you are bound to get hit. youve only been driving for a matter of months, so unfortunately, the statistics caught up to you sooner than later.

 

I go to St. Michael's College School, St. Clair and Bathurst. I had to park farther up in Forest Hill though because of the aformentioned time-limit changes on street parking near my school.

Guy stopped answering calls so I just decided to go through insurance. I've got his busines card so all's good, his insurance is paying it now. Dropped the car off at Centre Honda and came back with a Civic loaner. Not liking it but at least i got something.

Damn, $7k? That's ridiculous. Guess I'm a LOT luckier than I thought. Can't wait to get my car back though.
