So here's the story I had a dent in my driver's side door and had it fixed. Yesterday wifie calls me up and says the driver's side mirror is hanging. WTF ??? So okay I need a mirror right? Here's the good part she comes to pick me up from work and I asses the damage. :o
The entire driver's door is caved in, the mirror is hanging by the wire connector, and the window only opens halfway causing a hideous squealing noise!
No note of course but I see beige paint transfer on my car door (too much CSI). She calls her boss who is a lawyer and tells him what happened. Low and behold he's not surprised what happened. Apparently the neighbour across the street where she works has a large station hatch (Light colored Buick Roadmaster piece of garbage). He's an older Greek (no offence to my Greek peeps)man who last year hit her bosses Lexus.
He left a note on her bosses front door saying that he hit a blue Mazda yesterday evening. My wife contacted the culprit and he wants to pay cash for the damage. I'm going to get an estimate today and give the guy the price.
I don't mean to sound like a mean person but I'm going to milk this guy for the damages.
Pics will be up soon.

Wow...at least you found out who did it. Any damage on his car?? Sounds like his car would take some damage too to deal that kind of punishment.

You should be very thankful that the guy was at least honest enough to leave a note and is willing to pay for the damages.

Yeah them leaving a note is rare.
This is tricky though. If the damage is more than $1,000 then you are supposed to report it to the police and your insurance company within 7 days.
If you don't, then you better make sure that he pays up, otherwise you will have some explaining to do to the insurance company.

Sell the car.... get rid of the WB curse...
I know someone selling a pearl white mazda 3! :D
Good of him to leave a note and offer to pay... But I feel your pain. Still shitty that it happened. I can't wait to see pics... I want to see what $1800+ will do. Hope it gets fixed fast. Again, sorry to hear!

Sorry to hear your car Joe, but at least the guy left a note.
yeah, its rare indeed.
At least your car didn't get egged by stupid teens, or keyed.
edit: at least you don't have to pay for the damage done to your car.
WB curse? I gotta again, I hit a truck tire not long ago at night. my front bumper (the GFX addon) went black. I got keyed (I went to timmys, come out it was keyed). Got egged (parked outside my girl's house). My roommate's dad dented my rear fender and a SHIT load of stone chips. all in 6 months.

Like everyone else... it sucks, but count your blessings he left a note!.....I wonder if an impact like that would activate the side-airbags on the newer models, now that would cost a shitload.
On a humurous note, the old guy probably has several notchs carved into his back bumper ;D
Ah yeah...make note; remind wifey not to park there anymore!! ;)
Hope it all works out mang!

So you live in a town where yours is the only car ???
CoolColombian
11-09-2006, 01:33 PM
No but in a small town like Oakville theres lees chances for that to happen.
Obviously that can happen to any one, any where but i've seen that is most common in Toronto.
I feel ur pain Daddio, but atleast you got a note!
My driver side passenger door is smashed in, total cost is 1978.14 to which I have to pay $500 for the deductible. It blows, right infront of my girls house. Its obvious that the car came out of the driveway across the street but none of their cars show damage, it could of been someone else who pulled in doing a 3 point turn. Whatever hit me even pushed the back end into the curb, slight scuff on rim but nothing major.
The car goes into the shop on monday, and will take about 7 days or so to get it back.

The hit damaged the side impact beam. Light hits you can replace just the skin.
Wow I didn't think it would look that bad... thank your lucky stars he is paying... I thought a few scratches... Thanks for the pics!

this definitely sux big time man, but at least he left a note~ i wish i had a note left for me too!!! my car is still in the workshop and i have to pay for the 500 dec. which really blows. :-[
If you hadn't mentioned the guilty party's nationality, I woulda suggested it was that China man who reversed into and over, again and again, a poor old lady ... deceased lady.
But seriously, holy fraggle rock!!!

Just got the car back! Fender with all the little scratches was repainted as well. ;D
It was only gone for a couple of days but I sure missed her.
Here is a look at my damage, figure I should post it since its so similar to FlipDaddios.

Holy crap. That looks terrible too. Guessing by the photo's your car was hit while parked there because it looks like the back passenger side rim is pushed up against the curb.
Did you get everything fixed? How much did that run?
Sorry to hear.
Naw driving it with the door banged up. The bodyshop took the stress off the door so it closes properly and hit the fender back so it doesn't rub. Car is supposed to go in on Monday to which I can use my $350 towards a rental for as long as that money lasts.
Do you need a new rim from where it hit the curb? Did it get all scratched?
FLIPDADY

Damn that sucks Pat.
Do you need a new rim from where it hit the curb? Did it get all scratched?
Only a slight scuff, the rubber was protecting the rim still. Which is kewl because im stretching a 215 on the rims so I thought I wouldn't be getting any protection. I got a bottle of touch up paint for the rims and i'll just do that for now, if it bugs me I will go get it repaired.

Yikes, I am really surprised that the glass is still in one piece..
OMG Flip and Meth, sorry to hear about you both. Flip at least you were lucky and got a note.
Its just wierd though. For both you guys, they're not little scratches. Someone really has to be truckin to do that kind of damage. People are idiots. My condolences.
Joe's car got the scratches on it. Patrick's car, there doesn't appear to be any scratches (darn black! ;D). Seems like a cube van or small cargo truck reversed straight into the door. ???
I can't imagine how both of you reacted when you saw the damage of your cars for the first time.

That is Bullshit that they didn't leave a note. If there is a mini van across the street, my bet is on them.
Did it happen over night? If not I bet someone on the street saw it.
That happend to my old car and half of my street saw it, now nobody will park in front of my house because the lady across the street can't drive in reverse.
