Yesterday I went to move my car in the two hour car park near my work. When I got there I saw there was only one spare space available and there was another car driving around looking for a space. So I rushed over to my car and as I was backing out I was looking to my left at the spare space when the right side of my car crunched into the parked car next to me and did a bit of damage to both cars. So I did the right thing and left my details under the windscreen wiper of the other car, which is going to cost me because it's not worth getting my insurance company to fix their car and I only have third party insurance anyway. So basically I'll be footing the bill for both. But it gets better, I went to the panel beaters this morning and was quoted $480 to get my car fixed. On the way home from the panel beaters I stop at a red light and guy in a van pulls right up behind me. He was sitting right on top of me, so I think bugger this and I move a couple of meters forward and then he goes BANG straight into the back of me and I'm thinking holy hell am I getting attacked here? I sit there for a moment and then get out of my car and the guy was all apologetic etc. Apparently he just wasn't paying attention. So we change details and then I'm back at the panel beaters again twenty minutes after I'd left. WTF?

Ugh I feel your pain! (pretty good effort on the time frame, will u get a discount??)

We got my eldest an updated car for her 21st. In fantastic condition. Some guy ran into the side of it in the car park at high point, his insurance paid, but I had to let her take my prescious EOS to the boyfriends for the weekend. That was about 3 months ago. Junior borrowed it a month ago and ran up someone's arse (was always going to happen, she has learnt to slow don a bit earlier now, shame it wasn't In her own car though). Luckily not to much damage, other car $1400 sisters car $350 just the bumper, no charge for labour we will change it over. Since she had given her name we could use my excess cost so it would have been $1600 excess so she just paid the bill. I said to the oldest at her bf 21st on Sunday, your bumper is paintedI'll pick it up Thursday night (driving home as I type) she says 'oh someone backed into it yesterday we think it was the guy across the road" no of course it didn't touch the already smashed bumper. Was a ute, so it has gouged the previously perfect bonnet! I got some excess paint from our spray painted mate, when we picked up the bumper.

That's three so hopefully that's it.
