Talking GS300 rear ends GS300

What are the chances of a F***g drunken young ***** on a '02 black GS300 rear ending a '03 blue marlin GS300 at about 10 to 15 mph while waiting on traffic to go????
I bet very low, but it did happend today to me.
My car has only scratches on the rear bumper, but his front end was demolished.
I could not believe how his hood, grill and bumper got sooooo distroyed and bent out of shape.
The moron thought he could make the hood straight by jumping on top of it and he did.
The only problem was, that since it was raining he slipped on the hood as he jumped on it and smashed his face against the windshield. hahahahahahahahahahahaha
It was the funniest thing, see him bleeding from the nose and mouth.
I know it's not nice to laugh, but you had to be there to witness this.
My friend and I are still laughing about it.
When I called the Police, they ask me if anyone was injured in the accident and I said "well no and yes", they could not understand my answer.
So when I explained it to them, I could almost hear them laughing too!!!!
Oh well that is his punishment for hitting my car and trying to fix the bent hood.

My question is, aside from the scratches, my bumper looks intact, but is there anything I should be worried under the bumper skin????? like bumper shocks, bumper reinforcement or cushion that might be damage????
I'm taking the car to the insurance adjuster to see on tuesday and I want to be prepared, since it will be a couple hundreds for paint only.
I will bring my estimate from Lexus just in case.

One, glad it was nothing major and that you're okay.
Two, I would have paid money to see that guy make an *** of himself jumping on the hood.
Three, the chances are VERY slim.
Four, have them check out under the bumper but I don't think it will be a problem.
Five, the curse is back

I'm glad to hear that you were not injured and that your car only had minor damage.

That fool should be paying for your car's repair.

I'm sorry to hear about your ride but hey atleast now you can get a Lsportline rear bumper..... If the hit didn't dent the bumper too much then I wouldn't worry too much... but at 10-15 mph like you said.... i'd look under the car to just check all the bolts to see if there are any bent. Sometimes if they are bent enough you would feel some vibrations somewhere while you brake or high speeds. If you do find some bent then chances are you have a few other things damaged..... then its time to do some searching.....

That story about the guy jumping on the hood is very funny. I would of loved to see that... a video would automatically make it the most famous OwnT badge!!!

Hope your GS is ok and no major damage. Did the kid that hit you have any mods on his car?

seems that in life, stupid people ALWAYS get what they deserve in the end.

That aside, tell this adjuster that you want to take your car to a shop that has a laser frame anlaysis system to make sure you have no unibody damage....and that his insurance should pay for it.
