Default I hate 16 year old truck driving kids!!

Someone hit the side fender of my xA while i was parked and people were outside!!! The side marker panel light popped out and the bottom of my right fender got chipped and dented in deep. Does anyone know how much a replacement part for the fender runs about *light still works, just need the actual body part*
Thanks in advance.

Hell yea they do. Thats why you have insurance. Had the same thing happen to me about a year ago. Had to pay a $500 deductible, but insurance picked up the rest. Total bill was like $2,800 for new quarter panel, paint and some damage to the frame and rear bumper. You should definitely file a police report within 24 hours of the incident (with the station nearest where it happened) . This will make dealing with your insurance company much easier. Otherwise they might try and screw you.

I would file that report today if you haven't already done it. Best thing to do is call the popo dept and get the address for where you should come in. Have a decent sense of the layout of the area where it happened because you will need to draw a little picture on the form. Know the exact address and the name of the cross-streets etc.

Sorry to hear about the ride. That sucks ____.

Be careful, your rates may go up. I say this because if you go and have an estimate done, and its really not that much, then dont tell your insurance. Have a garage look at it if your unsure of the structural integrety (?) to tell you if something like the frame is bent. If not, then look into buying parts and installing them yourself. It will save you money in the long run.

Yeah, I see a lot of accidents with parked cars here on campus. While on my way to class, this girl in a pick up truck clipped a parked accord. I saw the accord dip down, then spring back up like a bobble head. I was like "HOLY ____!" Good thing the girl stopped and waited for the owner of the accord to come out. I would've gotten her tags and called parking services...

We need to get the NRA and neighborhood watch to team up for crap like this. See an idiot hit a car and leave, blow their head off and auction their ride to pay for repairs! Mall "cops" could get a shotgun just for this! :twisted: j/k, well, except for the couple times I've done it... :twisted:
