Just think of it as a life lesson.Getting all upset about it ain't going to help the situation,just have to deal with it.Someone above suggested it will be around $2000 to fix,sorry to say,but here in Canada it will be considerably more than that,I would be surprised at anything less than $5k.

Lying. Now there is a good approach. Geez.

Own up to your mistakes.

Be a man, not a weasel.

Be part of the solution, not the problem.

We all do stupid things on occasion and how you take accountability tells volumes about you as a person.

2) Please don't do this on neighborhoods, some of us have little children that can be killed by cars.
2) Take it to a dealer and have them repaired professionally by Nissan or approved Shop.
3) I estimate about 5K in damages or 2-3 K if you find parts here in the forum.

:wtf2:

Or .... and hear me out on this one ... he could actually take responsibility for his actions. Just a thought :rolleyes:

OP, if money's not a problem, pay for the repairs out of pocket and don't take the insurance hit :twocents:

Well we all do stupid things sometimes (my first experience with summer tires during a cold snap was no fun), but now you know better :P. Take it to a good body shop, it might not be cheap so you could let insurance handle it, just make sure it's not considered an at fault accident.

I know it's too late, but practice that $h*t in a parking lot.

I'd guess you need a new rim and A-arm plus some panels. I'd be surprised if the unibody is tweaked but even if it is it can be pulled back straight on a frame machine.

any damage over 1000 the shop/dealer is obligated to report it to the police and insurance company.

it will be considered at fault because no one else was at the scene.

Wow their pretty serious in Canada about small accidents.

Re-reading thread title gives a good chuckle (as well as giving a bit of insight into mindset) after reading the OP.

There's a lot of good advice itt, OP. Pay up (financially & otherwise), learn from it, and move forward. Good luck.

Fix it yourself is the best but hardest solution. If you have another car, might be a good project to consider, maybe worth your while in the end.

yea... they are trying to change some of the limits and what not but nothing to my knowledge

should change the title to 'curb hit a car...'

ZVox 10-27-2015 12:19 PM
Since your asking for help, Im gonna pretend Im your father figure.

You will not be reporting this to insurance, you messed up, so now you will be fixing it. No car for you until you can pony up the cash to repair it.

This is assuming your on my insurance, and possibly have the car in my name
