I do have a witness, he is the one who chased down the guy who hit me and got a tag. He's already given his statement to the police.
I may have to go to the doctor, my neck really hurts! None of this "ohh oww personaly injury claim! oww ohh owww.." crap either.. strait up, it's sore! But I...
Fredric @ Kenny H's said they can find the OEM rims, which will be good.
I think the windshield may need to be replaced, the biggest chip is almost though the winsheild (small, but deep).
James
Cool.. feel free to add some extra parts while your there
I was thinking.. if the car needs alot of paint work, maybe now would be the time to get the flag paint job done? Hmmm...
James
Change of plans.
They are doing all of it. I have the number of their pefered towing service (does lots of low-clearance stuff) and they will come get the car.
Now it's just scheduling time.
James
The viper tech is just looking over the mechanics, i'm going to get that body shop to look at the repairs.
I may have to fight this tooth 'n claw.
USAA is my insurance carrier.
MM
The adjuster will be looking at my viper today or tomorrow while it's at the techs shop.
Anything I need to watch out for to keep from getting low-balled? She said that anything over 2 years old they can use salvaged or used parts... No friggin way.
Tips? I don't want to get one of these "oh...
There is a deep chip in the windhield. Will they replace glass for multiple deep chips, or do they try and "fill" them?
I also have several nicks on the drivers quarter.
MM
I'm awake, and actualy my neck does hurt I'm sore, but I don't think it damaged anything.
It's going to the viper tech today, and then to the body man for estimates.
James
Any tips on how to deal with the apraisal people?
After playing the accident over in my mind several times, I think his quarter/bumper and wheel hit me. Wheel to wheel, bumper enough to chip paint.
What could have been damaged by an impact at that speed?
James
Sonoovabitch!
Comming back to work on the highway, i'm in the left lane. Black SUV cuts me off (i'm half way to his drivers door by this point). As he starts to come over, I nail the brakes and hold on. He hits my nose a bit with his bumper, sending me into the concrete divider rails. I slide...
It's hard to get good pics on the white car.. white inherently hides body damage. But if you run your hand across the areas, you can feel the clear is completely gone in most place, some down to bare resin.
Not any one major damage place, just lots of small areas.
Would they have to paint the...
thanks for all the help/advice folks! It's going to go o McKinny dodge here in SC, they are a pretty good tech place from what i'm told.
From what i've seen thus far... these will need to be replaced (may have to fight it)
Front right wheel

Rear left wheel
Front right ire...
How much damage to a hood will they consider "fixable" and what type of bodyshop does this? I will not settle for a bondo job!
If the hood was hit, can hit spider web?
James
It's official.. I have hood damage!
Drivers side front corner, didn't even notice.. touched it and the paint flaked right off. It's "musy" under it
Did it crack the hood somewhere and I can't see?
James
Ok.... he'res what i've found so far:
Passenger side hood has 1/4" paint removed, scraped. I now belive he hit my wheel and his bumper also hit my hood. Hood alignment looks a bit off to me.
Light scrapes on the tire, which backup my theory.
Front facia, drivers side. heavy paint chipping...
I was, but this REALLY screws up my wedding plans... we have "just maried" decals made and stuff for the car... it's what we were driving away in
I'm more upset than I realized.. I think it's starting to hit me. I'm lucky... no top or windows, getting loose on the highway are most of the time...
As I am now calm, now i'm worrying. I hit that wall HARD and pretty fast... I think it's got more damage than what I saw on the outside. On the short drive home, it wouldn't stay strait and was thumping like mad.
Can anyone recomend a viper tech in SC???
