Neighbor's daughter wasnt looking as she backed out her driveway and I stopped and tried to put in reverse but wasnt quick enough. I scratched the hood, bumber, and headlight. I have the new 2011 lights that were replaced by the warranty. I checked sewell and it looks like the one headlamp is 1600+. Does that sound right? Im taking the car to the dealership to get fixed. Looks like a new bumper, headlamp, and the hood will have to be painted.

That sucks. Sorry to see that. Shouldn't your neighbors daughter pay for the damages? Or claim from their insurance.

HAYSTACK

Yes, their insurance is covering it. I just dont think they understand how much that little fender bender is going to cost them. I was just trying to figure up how much it was going to cost.

I was very angry when it happened because this girl had her radio blasting and was messing with it. I just got out and walked off a few feet before I said something out of anger and her Dad told me not to be mad and she is just a kid.

Then she shouldn't be driving. Driving a 1+ton vehicle is grown folks business. Good thing it was another car that she hit and not a kid on his/her bike, toddler on a trike, etc.

Sorry that you have to get body work done on your car....but that girl needs a real talking to and that dad needs a wake up call. That non-chalant "she's just a kid" attitude is not acceptable.

HAYSTACK

Looks like the headlamp and bumper replaced is well over 2k. The hood will have to be repainted, and then you would have labor. Im guessing its going to cost them 4k.

HAYSTACK

Seriously dude. It wasnt like I cussed anybody out. They could very well see how mad I was. I was like it bothered them that I was so mad I had to walk it off. I said yeah she is a kid that doesnt look in her rearview when she is backing out. I was glad the cops came when they did.

Still no excuse, she should have checked, its her fault i would take it to small claims court and not bother with insurance i'm sure a hit int eh pocket book will possibly wake his dumb *** up!

This is obsurd. What difference does it make whether the guys insurance pays or he pays. It was an accident as it sounds and it really is not that bad.

HAYSTACK

No its not bad but is just that my new car now will be worked on. If I ever go to sell it or whatever it will have this accident documented and I know it just looks bad that there was one. I dont know if the bumber will come painted or what. I know the hood will have to be. I just hope the dealership I go to does body work / painting. I dont want anybody else doing any of the work.

Well it is an opinion, most likely insurance will cover it. But having children, i'll tell you this, if i had to pay outta pocket for this, i can assure you my child would never be as careless (as OP stated she was being) again!

I would have said "and by showing her it's not a problem, you've reinforced the behavior and guaranteed some much bigger collisions are in her future".
Parents like that are pure evil -- he should be popped in the mouth for being a douche and irresponsible parent

HAYSTACK

Trust me, I certainly thought about it. It wouldnt have been a problem, but I know that would just have caused me more problems. He is def on my **** list.

The girl didnt even apologize, her mom did. Little ungrateful punk.

Can't stand young careless drivers, just hit em where it hurts, in the pocket book. Hopefully their insurance premiums raise up.
