Attempted Hit & Run

[JP13]

No good deed goes unpunished. My buddy asked me to tow his jeep because it broke down. While we were hooking it up in the parking lot, a woman backed into my Jeep very hard, threw it in drive and tried to speed away. I was able to run and get in front of her car before she could exit the parking lot. She tried claiming she wasn't running away (yeah right) and then blamed her car's technology. "I have a backup camera and side sensors" and I replied "You also have 2 eyes!". I was pissed off. Nobody was hurt. Her bumper is sliced and my bumper is slightly bent. Jeeps are tough. She backed into it very hard.

I'm now dealing with her insurance. I sent pictures of both vehicles and 2 quotes. They can send a check to me for the damage to my property. I'll put it towards an aftermarket bumper.

Hell yeah! If something like this happens to our Toyota, I'd be pissed. If it happens to the Jeep, I'd just laugh, because like you said, the Jeep is built tough, and if you back your little Honda (or whatever) up into my Jeep, well you're likely going to be the one with the damage, and I'll just get a new aftermarket bumper with the money.

Glad you got her ass, she deserves to pay. I'd be super pissed, but at the same time kind of happy (you know, cause you get a new bumper!).

I hope you get a nice cheque from her insurance company!!
