Kid Joyrides Dad Car Into My Z

I just got my nismo the other night, and I am scared shitless of something like this happening.

What was so maddening was, I was pumping gas and he just reversed right into my Z..Or course his radio was blasting away..

I think all of us understand. I'm surprised you didn't wring his neck?
But his just a kid who will learn from this experience to be more careful, so we hope?

got into a wreck at the end of march with mines. i tboned some guy bc his dumb *** turned left from a non turning lane. $19k in damages.

to the OP, hope it gets fixed. make sure to file a diminished car value claim as well. good luck with everything.

what was the kid driving a tank? either that or he was going like mach 10. it sheared ur bumper, and everything. thats a lot of damage for a car accident in a "parking lot"/gas station. usually its just a little bump at low speeds.

Im so sorry to hear that. It literally makes me ill to even think about it. What did you do and or how did you feel? So it wasnt totaled out?

i look like i'm in my teens still so people get the wrong impression of me. i'm 22 and i paid, still am paying, for the car myself so i was beyond pissed off. usually after a bad accident people come up to you to ask if you're ok; 3 people in his car and not one came up to me. i was so pissed off i didnt realize my right ankle was swollen for a while. and no my car wasn't totaled out. body shop said it had to be $35k in damages to do so, air bags didnt deploy. out of all this, i'm glad his car got totaled: all air bags deployed, front bumper flew off, front passenger wheel was so jacked up the spring just fell out.

OP, make sure you get the right prices on your parts that need to be replaced/fix. my insurance estimated $12k+ to start off while the other guy's estimated $8k. good luck with everything.

Sorry to see your car in that condition, but glad it's not you that's hurt.

Insurance should follow the vehicle; not necessarily the person behind the wheel at the time, and they can get cited by the investigating law enforcement officer for improper driving. However insurance companies do sometimes require verification that the driver of the vehicle involved is insured, should there be a lawsuit by the other party (in this case, you).
