My week
So Monday night I am sitting at home watching a move and wrapping presents when I hear a Siren. I think nothing of it, until I hear someone pounding on my door. Open the door to find three police cars and an ambulance in front of my house. My 06 Cobalt (company car) <3k miles on it has been hit by a drunk driver. The guy was ok and was hauled off. So know I have to deal with all the BS of corporate insurance.
This leaves me with no work car. So I take the lex to work for the next couple of days until I can get a rental. Well, yesterday on the way home I get rear ended by some girl who was maybe 16 or 17. Police come and fill our a this paper that say accident information exchange. I ask do I need a police report he says no. I was so pissed that if I started to argue I would have ended up in jail. So I left.
Got home and inspected the damage and it was worse than I thought. Both rear door jams are touching. The hood is cracked and many other thinks are not right.
So I make a call to my uncle who knows some people and the officer calls me back within the hour. He says that the damage was minor so no report was needed. I said do you consider 5-7K minor. He said no but if your car was that damaged from that little accident you should think of getting a different car. I replied she hit me at 40-45 mph what should the car look like. Anyway the report is getting made and I will have a lot of more work ahead of me to fix this thing right.
End *****ing

ah sorry to hear that ben, seems like that's a bit hit. so she hit you and you hit someone else? if you reported injury then the cop had to file a report. but yeah if its just car damage they never file any, that's the case here in cali, they suck..... but glad that you know someone and able to get that cop to call you back
good luck man, sorry to hear that again

Sorry to hear tha Man!:((((
Sorry to hear what all is happening with you. Look at it positvely atleast wasn't ur fault both times. Hope u r doing good, because u mentioned that girl hit u at 45mph. And what the hell is the officer talking about, at that kind of speed that girls car probabaly is totaled, that is considered a serious accident. Tell him u'll buy that sucka some donuts may be he will work faster on that report. Hope u got the girls insurance info. Well take care of that Lex and get on the insurance. That is going to be challenging tooo. Good Luck . Happy rest of the Hoildays.

sorry to hear about your misfortune, especially with it happening twice within such a short time span (more so for the GS and with you being in the car, and not so much the company car). I hope the insurance takes good care of you and you're able to get the GS back on the roads soon.
