man. im so salty about it. i was pulling out of a shopping center. my lane is all clear. so i slowly pull out and get into my lane. and as my car was getting straight, this guy trys to pull a tricky dicky and get infront of me i guess and hits me. i got his driver side door. but apparently my little IS was no match for a tundra >_>. man insurance better not say this was my fault. i pulled into a clear lane, and i was fully in the lane when the guy changed into me -.-. i have wittinesses!

Wow, sorry to hear about that George. I hope you made a police report. You can find out from them if you were driver 1 (at fault) or not. If you were completely in the lane, you shouldn't have to worry.

You can borrow my buffer, but I don't think it'll help much. Well, at least you can now get the other side painted. Just trying to make light of the situation. Let me know if you need help once its fixed.

See if you can take it to Kuroda's for an estimate and repair. They do excellent work and they can bring it to us for detailing when its done.

Ouch!!! I had so many lucky times when I was able to notice those kind of drivers around me. Like seriously.....you have like a big truck or van try to think they can be fast and cut off in a small space. But, sorry to hear about that. One good thing that I like out of the pix is your own drawing of what happened.

Hard to tell who's at fault. I had a girl crash into me on the highway and it was found 50/50 due to sideswipes being so hard to determine. The funny part is I was stationery and she drove right into me. (She tried to cheat and cut into my toll both line) Sucked I had to pay 1/2 my deductible. Cheaters

Good luck.
