Welp, my new Audi A4 got rear ended (hit and run)

I was on my way back following my friend in his Truck helping him move, and
another friend back less than 1 minute behind me which didn't get to see it
as well. I just exited the highway, (Perrin Beitel and 410) and worked my way over to the right
lane. This WHITE 4 door Ford Focus DID yield, at least I thought, but they
got on it again, and I was turning into a apartments on the right, they came
up on my tail as I was actually turning in and hit my right rear corner,
threw me into a spin (180), and my car jumped the curb and fell back down.
They left the scene, my freinds went looking for them, and no where in
sight. The police also looked. Nope. Car is driveable, just the whole
rear of the car is now shifted to the left. Bumper took the full blow. The
right fender was missed. The frame seems to be bent a bit, because there is
a gap now in the rear of the trunk between the carpet and the rear wall.
Car drives fine, so alignment I think is okay.

So look for a White Ford Focus 4 door, possibly hub caps, that might have a
big red mark on the front right. If you see this car, give me detail info in a email so I can research it then. Thanks! San Antonio, TX area.

Hit and Run. Bastards.. Bran new car.

Pics...

Sounds worse than it looked....

Had the shop look at it. The unibody frame got twisted in the rear which is why there is now a gap in the trunk. Car will be at the body shop this week for repairs.

That's a shame. That shouldn't cost too much to repair?

Well since the frame got tweaked, that jumped the cost up a great deal. I am going to try and get the lowers painted secretly in there somehow.

damn...you must of had a lot of Zaino on the rear bumper. From reading the story it sounded a lot worse, but I couldn't even see the damage in the first pic.

Hope you get the a-hole

It felt worse since it threw my car into a 180 hard. The bumper is about 3-5 inches more to the left now.

Yea I have to agree as well. It seems people with the cheaper cars are more likely to have no insurance.

That is a pretty ignorant statement in many ways. There are plenty of rich people who drive lesser cars! There are many a poor people that have class and many rich people that don't. So sad.
