SO, im just cruisin down the road today. Just left my local h.s. bc we were running rc trucks in the parking lot ( i dont have one yet...was using a friends).

SO anyway, cruising down the road minding my own business. I see an Isuzu Rodeo stop at a side road at the stop sign. I guess he pulled out in front of me (he didnt see me he said) and i smash the brakes. Not in time i guess. I smashed into the side of his car.

Me being the coolheaded person that i am (note: sarcasm) get out of my truck and slam the door. I almost charged the person, but figured it was in my best interest not to. So, i begin to practically yell at this fucker for a few seconds. I calm down finally and we talk normal. He actually admitted to being the one at fault which amazes me. We then go to our cars to get our info.

As im leaning out of my door to get up...i see a badge in my face. THE FUCKING GUY IS A COP!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we exchange info and he says..."well im in a rush. i will get a report filed and call u in the morning". Dont officers know you arent supposed to leave the scene of an accident?

Fuck that. I call the police anyway and have another officer come down and check it out. I have to go pick the police report on Tuesday.

I guess its a good thing i work in a repair shop. I will probably get all parts for cost (im not letting him know though). And i was trying to sell this damn thing. WTF!

/rant (for now)

How bad were the damages? Sorry to hear this. Yah in the first month of having my license, I was rear ended twice. First time no damage at all. Second time there is a small crack in the bumper plastic step, not anything major. I should've gotten info but I had a car full of my friends including 2 in the trunk and I was afraid I'd get in trouble for driving people around AND having so many people.

yea i kno...i will try to get pics asap. I dont have a digicam

As for damage, it def. needs a rad support, grille, hood and bumper. Thats all i could see in the dark. I will try to get a disposable digicam tomorrow or somethin.

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

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"
