New Car Got Hit!!!!

on my way to home from work i was waiting at a stop light to turn green, and when it turn green, some jerk hit me from behind. Now my

car is messed up from the back. The bumper has two holes, but no major

damage, just some scratches that I can't bump out and the edge of my

tail light is cracked on the edge like I baked it.

Click on the "insert image" button and place the link to your image file there.

Sorry to hear that man. I hope the insurance process goes well for you. Tell me the other guy was insured and you got his/her info.

No dude thats not the worst part. after i got hit i looked back and i seen the car and it was a 90's FORD thunderbird, as i was getting ready to get out of my car, they went around me and fled. i got back in the car and chased after them, i cought up to them with no problem so i was trying to see their license plate but the f*@#ERS did not have one. we got close to the next stop light and the light was red i stopped they kept going Almost causing an accident. so i finally got out of the car to inspect the damage and all i noticed that my license cover was broken and my plate was bent, then i noticed that my bumper had so deep scratches fro the others cars screws that hold the license plate and also to big holes right next to them about 1 1/2" by 2" from what i think it is the actual aluminum bumper inside the cover. so now i'm all disapointed. but i keep telling my self it could have been worse... So eventually i will fix it on my own and not get the insurance involved cause then the new G will Have record stating its been in an accident. I'll keep trying to post some picture still.

oh and also i looked at the car the next day in daylight and my right taillight was cracked around the edge as if i baked it to open it up, but you can't really tell the bumper cover was damage that bad in the day unless you go up close and look at it.

Do you think you could've gotten a decent picture of those @$$holes when you were chasing them if you had a still camera in your car? I'm thinkin of poppin one of those in my glove compartment...phone camera takes too long to initialize...

Good luck on the repairs.
