I LOOOVE my Scion! I mean, I would literally fight with anyone that slams my doors, slams my seats, seats on top of my hood..anything! My girlfriend said that the seats are too uncomfortable for her and I left that b** (lol just kidding) but yeah.
I would really fight for my car! But today I left it in the hands of the police and they did ____..but I understand them.

I was parked in front of a Deli waiting for a friend of mine and this guy, ODE DRUNK! trips and falls on top of my car . At the moment I was like meeh! but something told me to get out of the car and check for damage.. and what a surprise I got!
Of course the highly intoxicated individual denied everything as if I didn't see him but thank God there were witnesses.

Because the guy is a hobo I can't sue him cause he has nothing to lose and because it was an accident the police couldn't do anything. So now is in hands of my insurance or getting it repaired out of my pocket.
What bugs me is that my car is just 4 months just wanted to share my story.

But what would you guys do? is there an easy fix for this? how much would a body shop cost me?

Dude sorry to hear about that that blows so bad. I hope your insurance deductible isn't too high. My car was also attacked by a drunk two weeks after getting it and without my knowledge. I went to a party and passed out, when I woke up there was a big dent across my trunk like someone elbow dropped it. Now I have a cheap 30$ lip spoiler that pretty much completely covers it, I popped out most of it, but it still ____in blows. It was either fix it myself or pay the 1000 dollar deductable so needless to say I won't be fixing that _____ for like 4 years when its possible to get a used cement hatch and sell this bad _____.

Oh and to answer your questions, no easy fix and an arm and a leg depending on your insurance. You are now at the mercy of the man my friend.

i had something similar happen to mine about 2 years ago two guys got thrown out of a bar and hit my car on the way down cops saw it all but didnt feel it was necesary to do anything since noone made a complaint until afterwards when i saw the damages

Im gonna deal with the insurance tomorrow. The cop told me to tell them that i found the car like that or something cus the insurance wont cover that..so ill pray. But something tells me that im gonna end up paying it out of pocket. The deli's owner knows the guy and he told me that if i bring an invoice he might help me a little so lets see ( im not counting on it tho) . I hate this ____ man, theres always a MF..always.

jonwoltke

They dont do ____ if its an accident. I told the cop " if i run with a knife and trip and fall on top of him and stab him..would i get away with it? it was an accident! " LOL :/ the wanted to take him but what for? a hobo that has nothing to lose plus i really just want my car fixed. i dont care about him i care about whats gonna happen now.

If you have to pay out of pocket might as well get carbon fiber fenders!!!

jonwoltke

looks like theres not wholes or cracks to your fender, you can pop it out...the paint will chip or crack but you will only be having to pay for paint now instead of the HIGH labor cost they are gona charger you. Sry to hear about that, i woulda "accidently" put a beat down on him

draxcaliber

It's a comprehensive loss. Vehicle was hit by a flying/falling object (in this case a stumbling hobo) and damaged. It is not a collision loss. If you get the guy's information, they can turn him over to collections.

draxcaliber

I stand corrected, it would be a collision loss unfortunately since the hobo is a pedestrian, unless you can explain that he fell off something like a ladder or out of a treet.

unsungfate

you should "pimp" that hobo into washing windshields and begging for change until he pays you back!! idk if it would work.., but what other option do you have? you could tell him that for every days worth of change, he would receive some amount of alcohol (you could lie and over state the amount), then roofy the guy and tell him in the morning that he drank a gallon of vodka and passed out.. rinse and repeat...

I'm not glad to see that others 2011+ tC owners are experiences unfortunate events as well. My 13 tC RS 8.0 survived both Sandy & a Northeastern just to have some undocumented aliens damage my car with a leaf blower. They not only denied that they were near my car but they also denied that there is gravel in the parking lot. Obviously gravel is not healthy to a tC's paint job. Needless to say I called the police filed a report and waited until this week to catch them on camera via iphone of them blow drying my car with their leaf blower. Lucky it is a 500 deductible for me and i have full cover everything. I have pics and vids just can't figure out how to post them. Just in case anyone cares I'm located in Teaneck NJ.

So I have been going to salvage yards to pick my parts. Im sure you can find a fender for your car then just pay to have it painted, shouldn't be hard to replace it.
