Car Damage

How do you feel about someone hitting your car and doing damage to it and then not letting you know about it? We discovered the other night that our bumper had been hit and hit hard and cracked it almost completely down to the bottom of it on one side. It also damaged the lining inside the bumper by the wheel. It knocked out a whole piece, part of which contained a bolt that held the bumper to the liner. So the bumper was kind of swinging loose. We called the insurance company and took it in and got the estimate and took it in for repair this morning. Lucky for us our insurance pays for a rental car as it will take 2 days to fix. We will have to pay the $250 deductible since they hit us and ran. That makes me mad.

Car Repairs

We had a local transit bus hit the back bumper of our car. It hit it hard enough to scrape off some of the paint and scratch it. It was a hit and run on top of it. It also broke one of the lights by the license plate. We didn't see that right away. It's going to cost over $618 to fix it plus the rental car but they said they could have it done sometime tomorrow so we are very glad of that. We have a lot of dental and doctor appointments to keep next week and would rather being driving our own car.

The Car Repair

Tomorrow morning we take the car into the shop to have the back bumper fixed. Since it is all fiberglass, it shouldn't be too big a deal. My husband said we could live without it being fixed if it had not been that it was a hit and run by a local transit van and was reported to the police. Our car was parked and there was a witness at the business next door that got their license plate number so I suppose the driver is going to get a ticket too for hit and run. Hate to be without the car, but will have a rental car. Always a little different getting used to driving a different car for awhile.
