Can you feel my pain?

Saturday night, we go out for dinner.
Come back to car. There is the dreaded card behind the wiper.
A guy backed into my car.
Spoke to him, he seems decent.
Painful.

Body shop closed today, I opened the engine lid.
1- the bumper cover will need replaced
2- the engine lid will need replace
3- the rear panel might be bent, we will see

I see at least 6K insurance repair.

I hit a baby deer last year going 60mph. I was extremely lucky that it wasn't the momma.

That is painful to see, glad the guy had the decency to leave his info rather than running away

that sucks hopefully its only bumper and lid..

maybe he will pay cash,and you can avoid car fax.as for him leaving the card which is nice, you just hope his insurance is good to deal with.
Had my bumper changed out from a moron not cutting the wheel enough when parking.it just did a 6 inch scratch but i forced new bumper,which was $900
and about $900 for paint and install.

Here in Florida they would have done the same. With the exception that you were standing there watching with a sheriff and they would deny they ever hit you.
