    Default Shitty Way To Begin A Day

    On the way to work this morning some asshole changed a lane right in to my car. Went to the bodyshop and looks like I will be out around $2000 to get it right again. Now have to figure out how to get to and from work untill its fixed. 30 min ride each way.

    I AM FUCKING PISSED

    Sorry to hear about the shitty start to the week.

    Don't you just love stupid drivers? Was he on his/her cell phone?

    Is this going on your insurance or his?

    Dan, sorry to read that bro. Was it hit and run, or did he/she stop? I'd get insurance involved if it is any where above 50% their fault, which is what is reads like. If they don't have proper insurance but you have their address, I'd find the bastige's car and let a friend take care of their car

    Sorry to hear that, did you get their license plate number? I'd report them to the cops immediately.

    Thanks guys,

    I am ok thankfully which is the most important thing. There was a police report filed and insurance companies were contacted but this being NY there are so many accidents and people are assholes for most part so they will never admit its their fault and so insurance companies treat these cases as 50/50 meaning i get nothing out of it unless I sue for mental damages or some other crap ( which I am not going to ).\

    Oh well I guess god gives some and takes some away.

    Must have been my time to give some back

    Glad you are in one piece, Dan. Even with the 50/50 ruling, can't you get a rental car until yours is ready to roll?

    Good to hear you are all right.


    Yeah, insurance companies suck for the most part. Maybe try to find an autobody place to fix it that will give you a loaner.

    Accidents are always a hassle. Sounds like everyone has given you the standard tips.

    You'll forget about this in a few years, I'm glad you didn't have a mishap that ends in tragedy.

    Sorry to hear about it Dan - and glad you got the bastids information and police report. Wondering if there were witnesses that stopped to give information to testify or write an affidavit?
