Haynes- 1992. Its actually a GMC Jimmy.

Chris- Yea i was suprised at the cop too. I now suspect that he might have been drinking. Not positive tho. And yes, a report is filed. I have to pick it up on tues/wed.

Joe and Justin- Im sure the truck isnt totalled. As far as i can see, it needs a bumper, hood, grille and rad support. Im sure it needs some other stuff. I want to involve insurance...since mine shouldnt have to pay a cent since he claimed it was 100% his fault. We shall see.

Either way, i was planning on selling it anyway, so i will probably get used parts and fix it. I think i have a bumper and hood at my house, just need to check. So we shall see.

I will try to get pics asap.

The truck is more than likely totalled anyways...

You could have them total it, buy it back, fix it and then sale it, but then it would have a salvage title which would really hurt the vaule of the truck...

Or

Have them deem it fixable, fix it yourself (certifit), sale the truck and have the extra money from the insurance....

A cop said this?

Funny how when they are involved,

A. He wants to hurry up and leave the scene
B. Doesn't want police or insurance to be called.

I would make sure a report is filed, and also get your insurance involved. Just because he is a cop, should be a reason for him to not have it go on his record.

Otherwise you stand a good chance of getting taken.

DOnt you people have insurance to handle this?

If so your/his insurance company should be paying based off an estimate.

They have no right to say "Well hey you work in a collision shop so were only paying you 1/3 of the estimate"

yea matt...i am gonna try and get every cent out of him. Im gonna pretend i dont work in a repair shop. LOL.

And william. True, i am not hurt and it wasnt my fault, but now i have to fix my damn blazer! All i wanna do is sell the damn thing!

Wow that sucks Tedd. There are two things to look forward to though, you are okay and it wasn't your fault.

by High Society » Sat May 06, 2006 7:40 pm
