Default So, some kid just ran into me while changing lanes...

Driving home today, about 15 minutes ago, some kid kept trying to race me. He was changing lanes like crazy and everything. So traffic was going 40 in a 45. Some car parallel with him turned left, so I sped up. Apparently he didn't check his blind spot and didn't know I was there. Boom! It sounded like he plowed into me.

I checked on his car as he drove away making no attempt to stop and see if any damage was done. Nope, he just kept on driving in his handme down honda.

I got home, freaked out of course sounded like my whole side got dented in. Nope, nothing not even a scratch. Maybe I got lucky?
Still pretty scared, i've had this car for like 7 months now and never once came close to an accident. Anything I possibly could have overlooked that might be damaged? He was changing lanes pretty fast.

Your story doesn't make sense, if he hit you why didn't you follow or call the cops. Why did you pull over? Try washing your car, I don't get how you felt him hit you or heard, yet you don't see any damage, at the speed you said he was, there should be damage, i guess consider yourself lucky.

No, he pulled past me like WTF?
But I just checked again, and the cap off the sideview mirror is cracked. Anyone know where I can buy a new one for cheap? Or glue it together?

thanks

I know, I wasn't thinking. I was so close to my house, I figured i'd come home and check out the damage.

trdsparks is your best bet. I think around 140, just tell mommy and daddy. then just resell your broken one on ebay.

regardless you have to buy the whole thing. Nobody sells the outer piece.
