fml i must attract idiots
so ive had my car back from the body shop for about a week bc some idiot decided it was a nice day for a hit and run but hey $1869 later all outa pocket may i add its all fixed. 
So today i get out of work and head to honda to pick up some parts just maintenance stuff and its literaly one exit from where i get on the highway at i dnt even have to leave the exit lane when i get on the highway and once i exit theres a light. so at this magnificent red light is a work van waiting for the light to turn green so i pull up behind him to wait my turn in line. after waiting for about 15 seconds he decides its a good idea to through it in reverse. as soon as i see the reverse lights i put the car in reverse like my life depends on it and once im in gear i see his van not more than 4 feet in front of me charging at the front of my car. I in a panic almost redline and dump the clutch in reverse and i moved maybe 6 inches and !BOOM! he nailed me. 
i was pissed i get outa the car and say what the F*** are you thinkin this guy gets out and could on any other day beat me to nothing but not today i had all the adrenalin on the east coast pumpin. His first words are that it was his fault. i then calm down bc it was a company van so i know it will get fixed but damn was i pissed. Pics on the way....
all the damage seems to be under the bumper cover so the beam and absorber need replaced im sure but they may say the bumper itself is repairable and if thats the case ill buy a new oem one and have them pay the paint labor.
