... because the car was off.
Oh, and it's my definition of wrecked, not Webster Dictionary's.
So today I was over at a friends house. It's in a neighborhood where you basically are required to park in the street, due to small driveways. A neighbor came over my friends house and rang the doorbell, and then preceded to tell him that "someone" had hit my car. Immediately I had a bit of a panicked thought that it was a hit and run, but luckily the person that did it was still there.
F
ucking idiot was backing up from the driveway across the street as they were leaving their friends house and backed into my car. It was a lady with a toddler, and a f*cking Jeep Liberty.
On to the damage. Luckily it isn't too bad, and her Liberty was actually much worse off. My rear quarter panel is dented in a few spots, one big, the other two are more subtle (those I am worried about). The bumper was also scrapped badly, and it looks like the angled portion of the bumper might of been shaved/dented. Also noticed a scratch through the paint on the wheel.
Of course her insurance is covering it and also a rental. I'm also making sure they file a diminished value claim. I go in tomorrow morning to have a estimate done by a shop that the insurance company requested, but I can go to a shop of my choice to perform the work.
Any thing else I should look out for or make sure happens? I'd like to try to make sure they replace parts and not try to repair them, but I'm not sure how successful I will be with that?
Here is a pic:
I actually expected it to be way worse when I saw her monster SUV, but any damage is bad in my book. Really shitty thing is I just spent 5 hours waxing/detailing my car on Friday!
