Default my little incident

I just lowered my car on s-techs a week ago, and ordered a cold air today. About 2 hours after i order my cold air my bother and a few of his friends roll up and park where my family backs up to turn around in our drive way. His bumber was just high enough and my car was just low enough that his exhaust punched a 3.5" oval out of my rear bumper, chipped my 3rd brake light and pass rear tail light. It also dented my hatch pretty good and I cant decide whats making noise the hatch or the exhaust when i drive down the road. It just put a little dent in his bumper.

I've happened to back into my brother's car and left a minor imprint of the top of his plate frame in the bumper, I was just having a bad day and was not paying attention even seeing his car before I got into mine. The day before some dummy parked his car angled behind me when there was plenty of parking spaces at the local hangout and with me having 5% tint not helping I didn't think his car was thee and backed into him. All he had to to was just buff out the rear bumper on his Civic. My rear bumper popped off and had some paint missing . Oh well, I happen to have a spare bumper for something else I plan to do.

Lol ive only backed my car into a truck once, well into my truck lol - luckilly it was just rolling and I was talking to someone out the window not paying attention - just scratched up my bumper and did nothing to my truck Of course I didnt call my insurance over it, but that wouldve been funny as hell if I did. As for this, youll probably need to call the insurance, Id estimate $1500-2000 in damage from a reputable body shop.

As for not paying attention backing out of the driveway - THAT IS RIDICULOUS!! I DONT CARE WHERE YOU ARE, YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOURE DRIVING!!!

I have 5% tint also, when its dark I roll down my windows so I can see well when backing out.

I just hope you learned your lesson from this, and pay attention from now on!

In my driveway the only reason I don't is because there are 5 acres to park on but I would assume some one would have enough sense not to park in the turn around circle but I learned to watch closer for sure and id say 1500 to 2000 as well im goin to my friends gpas place and the dealership for the estimates and probably goin to have his gps fox it they are the best around

Why do i feel like the OP is a schizophrenic? The first post someone backed into him, then it was i need to tell the truth, i did it. What do we care who did it? Pay the damages and move on!
