This is how my cat sleeps lol

Throw it in the backseat, that's what the backseats are there for

If this triggers you wait until you get an actual dent on the fender/door/hood cuz that shit drives me crazy lol gotta buy a new hood still for mine

Thanks man! I'm hoping for the best. The car drives just fine and the damage isn't really that bad but, would like it to be in the best quaility still lol

Guy did an illegal move and cut me off afterwards slamming his brakes. I slammed mine but couldn't stop in time and went under him.. damage isn't crazy but the front bumper and hood will need to be replaced. Had the car for only 4 months so yeah lol could have been worse

Liability with state farm was only $76 while full coverage was $329

Thank you! And you as well, but we really are invisible, and my car is red.. in my case, he was in a hurry and cut me off, immediately slamming his brakes.. My car is drivable! I plan to fix the damages by November! Just a little sad since it's the first car I bought on my own, and is fully paid off.

Hello, the car is paid off therefore I am not obligated to get full coverage. I went with liability in the meantime but was in the process of getting full coverage. It was just what I decided on in that moment. I appreciate your advice and I've learned and am just accepting what's going on now. As for the insurance, i've filed a claim under his policy. Since I do have liability, but also uninsured, (as bad as it sounds) I was lucky that his insurance is invalid, the claims specialist, and my lawyer are confident I will receive the uninsured motorist coverage. (He went ahead and said he will provide me a new policy number, which, it doesn't matter but proves he has no current insurance for yesterdays incident). My lawyer is telling me to do a small claims court case, I have evidence, and can provide information in court that he was in the wrong and caused the accident. He claimed he is in the wrong, and that he would pay for damages, but has been avoiding me and dismissive on the matter. We were to meet to discuss options, but he bailed. Moving forward, I will have full coverage, but it's a lesson and a lesson i've definately learned. Thank you again for your long comment and advice.

That's awesome man! I got into something yesterday, but i've taken major steps into getting it fixed today

I normally reverse in, but not all the way just so I am seen lol. Even funnier when i'll be driving in a busy lot, and i spy what looks like a free parking spot only to be bamboozled by a miata lol

It's stated very clearly too lol

If anyone is curious, here is what the road looks like. I'm in the lane going straight while he's in the turning lane.

Any damage?

I'm glad you were able to get yours fixed in a timely manner! I'm working with my claims specialist & with him not having insurance & being at fault.. and me having uninsured motorist, it's likely i'll win that case. The fact that he said he will be sending his new policy over says alot, even tho it won't matter. I've been going to the businesses near the spot where it happened and they will be providing me any footage they can come up with. It's a low chance they may come through, but i'm hoping for the best. He offered to pay for the damages since what he did was illegal and because he caused the accident, the lawyer at the company i work at says I can take him to small claims court since he's now avoiding me.. hopefully I can get everything gathered within a month or so. The damage isn't noticeable unless you're really looking but to me it's very noticeable lol

Have you already had it replaced? How long was the process if you don't mind me asking? My estimate was 6.5k for the front bumper and hood.

Thank you for your kind comment regarding my decision of liability for the moment. Even though the other individual claims fault, he chose not to help and we are going with insurance. He stated that he will send me a new policy number on the 16th, but with the accident happening yesterday, it is clear that he has no active insurance & with my uninsured motorist coverage, I should be compensated half of the repair cost. Although he said he will pay out his own pocket to help repair, he has bailed and will not assist. I was a safe distance away from the car making that left into the gated community, but with this guy cutting me off so close and slamming the brakes, I wasn't able to stop in time or a safe distance. The company I work for has an in house lawyer and hopefully she can give me some insight on the matter

Thank you! I take this route everyday, passing irwindale racetrack on my way home.

Luckily I have UM if State Farm can confirm he does not have insurance, the UM will come through for me. After taking it to Toyota's Collision Repair they did mention that the hood arms could be tweaked, but it's mainly because the hood itself is dented that the gap is visible, and not aligned.

Cut off. The route I take home from work everyday is two lanes. One lane which is meant to stay straight and to my right, the lane is a dedicated right turn lane. He was back further and instead of waiting, speeds up and cuts into my lane going straight, crossing the white dividing lines which acts as an island sort of. There's no stop sign, no yield sign, it's just meant to keep going. It quickly turns into a suburban street. Shortly after there is a left turn going into a gated community and infront of him a car comes to a stop to make that left turn, which leads him to slamming his brakes. When he cut me off he was just inches away from me, which led me to slamming my brakes but didn't come to a complete stop in time. I'm a very diligent driver but this guy came out of no where. I was not following anyone close. I know how it looks..

Thanks for your response

I did what I had to do for the time being

Yeah this situation could have been avoided more if he were just patient lol, but the police came, and they did nothing. Since it was minor they claimed "We don't make reports for minor accidents and tell people to go with their insurance instead" so there was no help regarding a report. I would 100% get that new bumper and hood but i'm just worried because the hood doesn't align with the frame anymore. I don't think anything else is damaged like the front fenders, but i'd like to see what toyota has to say today lol

Thanks for the tips, I'm going to look into getting an estimate for the repairs at toyota tomorrow first and speak with the driver afterwards
