Got hit last night

[Shade]

Can't believe it, Some #$%@ hit me from behind last night. I was stoppped at set of lights waiting for the green arrow to turn right and looked in the rear view mirror and saw the lights of this dumbass stop a little ways back from me then sudden started moving foward and didn't stop till it hit the back of me.

My heart sank coupled with a whole lot of anger . I was ready to rumble, got out of the car to greeted by this geeky looking four eyed #$%@!!! in a new rental Commodore.

Got out and all he could say was "sorry i don't know why i took my foot of the brake" and he turns out to be from NSW.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I've only had it for less than 5 months.

Not much damage but the bumper has been marked up pretty good. Got his details and God help me he is going pay dearly for his stupidity.

I'm still in shock i think, still can't believe how stupid that guy was.

Too mant bad drivers on the roads these days, how ever did they get there drivers licenses is beyond me.

Condolences, Mate

Know how you must feel (murder in your heart). Hopefully there will be no structural damage and it will all be better when the rear bumper is fixed.

You're right ... there are too many idiots on the road ... they should just clear them and leave for us to drive on.

Cheers,
Dave

So sorry to hear that Shade. Devestating, eh. Nothing worse than marking your pride and joy.
Makes you wonder why we get new cars, or take such pride in our cars when that happens.
Hope the damage isn't structural at all and that the C pillars aren't damaged at all.....

ouch!!! not good mate!!

[Rocket]

Wow, sorry dude where did it happen? I only saw you on the Springvale rd again late last week. Is the shark okay

Is there damage to the tailgate or is it just the bumper?

[Shade]

Happened at the corner of Springvale and Canterbury roads at about 8.00pm. It doesn't look that it's going to be structural just marked the bumper pretty good. Tailgate opens as normal and nothing really feels broken, (thankfully Sharkie is OK, just a little shocked and angry like me)but i will have it looked at. At the least going to sting this tool for a new paint job on the bumper.

Got out and all he should say was "sorry i don't know why i took my foot of the brake"

thats terrible

[Timbo]

That's bad luck, Shade. But....look on the bright side... you're ok, and it sounds like there's nothing fundamentally structural affected

Mate i feel your pain..

My car got hit by hail badly after a month of ownership - and sometimes i wonder what's the point of babying the car when crap like that happens all the time.

Hope ur car a speedy recovery.

My car got hit in the rear on the 1st of may - 4 weeks later and I still haven't got it back.

I feel your pain, its not a great feeling. Although I wasn't too upset at the time, im now really pissed off that some ****wit has put me out for 5+weeks beacuse he didn't know how to drive a ****ing car.

Must be worse given yours is relatively new. Its no longer a virgin-car. It has taken it up the ass. :p

my cousin with the new r32(3 weeks old) got hit in the rear yesterday,,,,now thats peed off!!!!!

[shaneth]

sorry to hear about that Shade, Hope it all goes well.

[Wand Weaver]

That's some tough luck, although it does sound that you got off pretty lightly given there's no actual damage done. A respray (paid by the other guy's insurance) should get that back to perfect condition in quick order.

There is something to be said for unpainted bumpers - the family had an Impreza that didn't have painted bumpers, and it got hit from behind, with no visible damage at all.

My baby got hit up the ass last week, feel for you all.
My girl isn't new but she's 31 and my liitle pride and joy.
All the work and hundreds of hrs spent on it, and what for. I just put new tail lights in it, after having them in boxes for five years, i said to myself, now these new lights are in, some dumbass is gonna rear end me.
AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
some dumbass hit me!

Hope all cars and their owners get well speedily.

Cheers Dave
