$4196.17 in mechanical damage, but I paid that off easily to NOT BUY OR BURN much Gasoline anymore! :-) Yay!

Bloody hell. I can't believe nobody produced dashcam footage or
footage from a camera on a building.

What, am I supposed to organize a SWAT team investigative incident right after being smashed into? NO! I'm just happy to get my zero gasoline buying/burning CAR BACK! I buy cars for their performance NOT for their appearance!

I didn't say that. But a driver whose camera caught the incident and
the licence plate could have contacted you or the police (provided
he'd not be black).

I prefer a really good looking car that doesn't start.

Oh good lord. If someone crashed into your car and you called the cops
when it happened, they'd have investigated. If there were witnesses,
they'd have asked questions. They'd have checked traffic cameras. Even
way out here in the sticks where I live there are traffic cameras. You
said they found a piece of a white car that hit yours. What did you pay
$4196 for?!

Someone else brought up insurance. Collision insurance would have taken
care of the repair (including any body work). All you'd have had to do
was pay the deductible, which wouldn't be anywhere near $4000. You
really like throwing money away, don't you?

I PAID for the damage done to my car because I chose NOT to carry collision insurance! I only have minimally required car liability insurance as required by MO LAW! YOU are the ones getting so royally FLEECED by insurance corporations who have convinced you that giving them all your MONEY!

And you also CHOOSE to still burn gasoline just because it's what you've always done and probably built your lifestyle around it! :-(

Who's going to take out comprehensive car insurance for an old car?

Insurance is probably $300 a yea and you've had the car for about three
years now. So for $900 you would have saved $4000. Actually more as
they would have fixed the body for another $2500.

John, did you even look at your insurance policy?

Even libility insurance policies offer an "uninsured motorist
fee" for very few dollars extra ($6-$10) every 6 months.
That would cover your accident and pay for it, less a
deductible.

"Uninsured motorist coverage protects you and your property
after an accident when the at-fault driver does not have
insurance." It covers hit and run drivers too.

I had a hit and run driver smash into the back of my van once
while it was parked at night. It was covered.

But you would have saved yourself about $3,000 in repairs had you
paid for full insurance. And you'd have your body work done, too.

Yeah, you really stuck to to da man, John! You're so suave!

Missouri requires that accidents be reported to the police within 30 days.

He's the court jester of RFC. He'd rather pay $4100 out of pocket than
pay a few extra bucks per year for full coverage and only have to pay
the deductible. I thought he was in love with this car yet he couldn't
pay a few bucks more for insurance coverage?

I'm sure the mechanics who worked on it are laughing all the way to the
bank.

I hate to break it to you, Jill, but your out of date. And maybe you
need to get into more wrecks.

In every major city in the U.S, an average of 60% of the accidents
are hit and run. Unless there's a significant injury or death, the
cops don't give a shit and won't investigate anything even if they
have the license plate number. Here in Austin that number is 82%
hit and then run (not really run, but they just drive off). There is
NO penalty for not stopping unless somebody is hurt AND you can
identify their faces.

Defense attorneys have a boilerplate defense that if the victim
can't positively identify the driver (through their tinted glass)
the ether is NO CASE AT ALL.

The only people who ever get busted, are people that step out of
their cars out of concern so witnesses can see them - then get back
in and burn off. The worst ting you can do is stop - especially if
you're been drinking. Just keep on driving!

Really?? Hit and runs in Aus are less common, I don't really know the
percentage but I would guess like 5% here.

Speaking of performance, have you raced many other cars lately?
I remember you having lots of drag races not too long ago. Just
about every day for a while.

Different performance metric! My Leaf has the license plate "INF-MPG" for a REASON! INFinite MPG! I bought a gallon of gasoline and put in my garage and no matter how far I drive my Nissan Leaf that gallon stays FULL!

How many dollars worth of POISON to you BUY to drag race? HA! :-(

What sort of vehicle caused that damage like that? The leading edge of
every car, truck or even bike I can think of wouldn't be anywhere near
as low as that. I'm not buying your story, John.

Replace most of the right rear end suspension parts and both aluminum wheels and make it drive nice again. I don't care about the appearance, I care about the function! I buy cars for their function, not their appearance.

You were ripped off (yet again). Obviously you don't have sufficient
insurance coverage otherwise all you'd have had to do was pay the
deductible, which wouldn't have been anywhere near $4000.

I suspect you have either a very bad driving record or are too simply
don't know enough to pay for full insurance (Liability & Collision, aka
Comprehensive). You bought the car used to begin with. I have no idea
why you think spending $4000 to fix it is a good thing. You can buy a
2012 Leaf for what you paid to fix that one.

Comprehensive is not liability or collision coverage.Â* It covers
everything else - fire, theft, falling tree branches, etc.

Why is comprehensive called comprehensive if it doesn't include
collision?

Before you ever junk it, you could have a lot of fun running in the
demolition derby at the county fair. Using only electricity, ZERO
gasoline!

LOL! At that price they'd better have been using a manual bicycle type
pump to account for the cost of labor.

John's car is fitted with ecological planet-saver tyres woven from
kudzu vines by unemployed cannabis nurses.

Kudzu! That's a word I haven't heard in a long time. Seems like 'hemp'
would be more fitting in his case. Of course we're just poking a little
fun right now.

I'd rather get the old one fixed for 4000 than get a new old one for
4000.
