Angry Girl Backed Up Into My Car!!!

Okay so to start it off my friend whom i havn't seen in a while hit me up and told me he was having a poker night. So i went there and i ran into this girl i was really good friends with last year. We talked a bit and caught up on what has been happening. So i start off playing poker ($20 buy in) and im up and im chip leader. A coupld minutes go by and my friend(the girl) rushes in with a look of saddness on her face. First thing that jump it in my mind was that she got into an accident. I figured since the house she was exiting has many blindspots someone hit her. Boy was i wrong. I now have a very nice looking dent right by my driver side headlight. Isn't that just great. Not only that, i ended up being one of the first people to get out in poker because i couldn't concentrate. So to recap, a new dent in my car and i lost $20 Oh and i just can't wait to tell my parents (i'm home from college for winter break) about it they will be really pleased with me By the way if anyone cares to know, i was driving my c coupe and she was driving a lexus RX which doesn't have one dent in it.

sorry to hear that, that sucks. it could have been worse though:

1) she could have done more damage than that
2) it could have been the clk
3) you could have lost more money than $20 in poker

what did she say afterwards? what are you going to do about it? is it really noticeable? what did your parents say?

She apolagized afterwards and she felt really bad. I didn't make a big deal of it. The dent is pretty noticeable however it is small. i will try and take pictures of it today if i get back from work early. I am about to tell my mom right now...lol let's see what happens. Oh and the girl offered to pay for it in cash. She is wealthy but i don't think she knows how much it costs to fix a mercedes. We shall see what happens.

Hey, accidents happen. At least it wasn't your fault. I would take it out immediately to a respectable shop and get a written estimate. Give her a copy of it and agree to either let her pay for it with cash, or to file a claim through insurance. Either way, it shouldn't cost you anything.

If she decides to pay cash, don't forget about the cost of a loaner while it's being repaired.
