I was getting gas today when.......

I was on the way to a friends house and noticed I was low on gas so I stopped off at the nearest exxon. I'm waiting in line for the next available pump behind a Chevy Blazer. All of a sudden the Blazer starts moving backwards (with a good amount of momentum) - I start honking at him furiously. The honking obviously didn't register as he smacked in my front bumper.

The damage isn't so bad and they probably only have to replace the front bumper but you never know. I'm taking it to my auto body in tomorrow to assess the damage - hopefully it won't be so bad.

I just can't believe this kid still hit me after i honked at him about 20 times aside from the fact that he was about 2 feet in fornt of me. I'm just really pissed - it's just another pain in the ***

The car in the middle was done pumping and was going to need more room I assume. The Blazer was backing up so the guy at the middle pump could get out - unfortunately for me the guy in Blazer wasn't looking or paying any attention to what was in back of him and just smashed into me.

I had a buddy that messed up his front end on his truck and he got the insurance company to let him put in some extra money and put a different hood on. Maybe that would work for you

The kid's paying for all the damages but not through his insurance b/c he's a new driver and doesn't want to put in a claim. He's paying it out of pocket - I got the estimate today and it's gonna be around $600 - not too bad - glad I'm not paying for it though!

i hope he doesn't turn around and say that you did it, because your front end is damaged and his rear is damaged, and it's always your fault if you rear end someone no matter what the situation is! That would be ghey if he turned around and told authorities that you rear ended him. Good thing ur getting some cash though, i woulda made a photo copy with my cell phone of his insurance information and a copy of his drivers license just in case. handy dandy camera phones come into use at times like that.

If I had passenger I would have told him to get out and stand in back of the blazer so he could get hit and sue the fcker.

but that's just me
