This is what happened after I was backed into..

And hopefully this shows the whole back bumper, with the scratches I already had. Now I have to decide If I should just take the money and get a whole new bumper or just let them repair it... I kind of liked the scratches in a way..I thought it gave my kitty personality. :) I always told everyone she got them from a cat fight! Haha..yeah I do talk about my car like that.. :tongue:

The whole thing really is pretty sad though..*sniff sniff :( I know most people probably think it was my fault..

I swear, people should have to re-do their drivers test every 5 years or so. I have no idea how most commuters even got one in the first place, let alone keep it.

four years ago, i renewed my license by mail. i was told i couldn't renew by mail this year, so i went in. i filled out the info paper, signed my name, they took my pic and mailed me the results a week later. no retest or anything.

That sucks man. I have close calls at least 2 or 3 times every day because of idiots pulling out in front of me, driving left of center, and just generally not paying attention. Sometimes I want to unglue their cell phone from their head and beat them with it.

So sorry Heidi. That sucks.

At least you found the culprit. My old cougar was ran into and the fu(ks never left a note. All my friends give me $hit because I always park in the back of parking lots. I don't trust other drivers.

Heidi, this does not look so bad. It does not look like there any cracks. Thats good. If i were you i would just get it repaired and painted over. I bet you can get a tail light for pretty cheap on the forum or at a junk yard. If you need any help i would be more than happy to help you. And that didnt on the bumper should pop back out if you heat it up with a hairdryer.
BTW, we should all get together on friday or saturday and got to Back to 50th.

wow ur lucky, at least u get the driver un like me, 3 hit and runs this year. 2 in the back bumper and 1 on the front passenger side. How much is the damage? U should do a meet up with us sometime

[CapriciousCat00]

Yeah I know I was lucky! Everything is all fixed now. YAY! The guy did it all himself, and it looks fine. His dad used to be the manager of a Ford parts store so he got the tail light from there, and I'm not sure what he did on the bumper but it looks practically good as new. N yeah, I'm down for this weekend if that goes through.
