Crunch ..... D@mn Hummer
Well,
On my lunch break today I was waiting for someone to move their car so I could park in a spot that was open. A hummer that was parked in the handicapped (apparently only for a moment to turn around) decided not to look before he backed out and floored it into the passenger side of my once pristine car. After dealing with his insurance company and setting up a claim for 45 minutes, I had to 'limp' the car back to the office where I managed to take some snazzy pics. It hurts me to look at them. damage1 damage2 damage3 damage4 damage5 damage6 damage7 Hopefully the insurance company doesn't screw me too bad...

Man that sucks.
 The pictures do not look to bad and It appears to be very fixable. Make sure that the insurance includes a 4 wheel alignment. That will help determine any hidden damage to the suspension. Good luck. I never did like a hummer  (truck) Steve

Dude, you got SOOOOOOOOO lucky.... that is an easy fix... Just fine an emerald Green like yours and swap fenders... That easy... Doesn't look like anything else was hurt. DEFINITLY alot better than if he had hit further up front or about 5 feet further back
 ...Good luck with the fix!!!

Thats why I hate flippin' SUV owners... Jackasses that don't look and aren't aware of other drivers. You should go to his house and burn his hummer... not really tho.

Well I hope everything works out for the best. Maybe someone on here has a green passenger side fender that I could throw on, to save a little money.
Still hurts to see though...

Was the dude sorry or did you give him a piece of your mind or what? When I got hit I was pretty calm and quiet but I think now it's better to be verbal about such things.
Let people know they are stupid so they can start paying attention to what the hell they are doing.

I almost got it yesterday in my local Safeway lot. Just started to back into a parking slot and some old dude comes flying into it even though he could see me moving in reverse. Not braking immediately would have resulted in a complete "sideswipe". The old goofball had flags , stickers & all kinds of stuff pasted on his windows & all I could feel was sympathy for the state his mind must be in. After giving him a few choice comments, told him if he's in that big a hurry his life must a lot shorter than mine.
