Default Hit and Run....

So I go get a haircut, park my car on the spot all the way at the end and some low life maggot ends up hitting me... I really don't know how he did it so low but now I need a respray and the insurance said they don't cover hit and run. Only vandalism on my coverage.

Well my question is how much do you think it would cost to respray the bumper? In that case Ill get the front resprayed as well. Any Ideas?

IF ONLY I could get my hands on that punk who did it.... OH MY

Tell me about it bro, I thought I left these no luck issues when I sold the Prelude. That car was hit 2 days after it was fully repainted. Bumpers hit, dings, Rear bumper ripped off. People said it was a Dammed car, lol.

Now it's the S2K....

Edit: Bass.... Why would they tell me they don't, is it some thing mandetory for them to cover hit and runs or did I not get the right plan. OR are they trying to screw me?

Edit2: $500 just for respray!? Dang

It may be the cost doesn't reach the deductible. When my old Intergra's ignition was busted out, the bill came to $500.25. No insurance claim.

(Now talk about cars with bad Karma, someone tried to steal it, it was keyed, I backed into the snow blower handle and broke the taillight, I backed into a light post base and mangled the rear bumper and damaged the trunk and it was rear ended because an old fart in a Buick didn't htink I was going that slow approaching a red light. That's what I get for buying a car after attending an uncle's funeral!)

Shit happens I guess guys, thank god the damage is not worse. But on a good note

Spoke with Family Friend that owns Armen's AutoBody He painted my Prelude and did an awesome job. I will be taking the car there tomorrow and once find a job will get it repainted by him.

But right now I will go ahead grab my detailing products and put some elbow grease in to it and try to buff surface scratches out.
