Dumb ***** took out my driver's door!

[DanSVX94]

Check it out. I parked my 2006 Outback on a very wide suburban street two blocks from my house so I could photograph a bride getting ready before leaving for her church ceremony. 1/2 hour later theres a knock on the door and this stupid ugly ***** asks who owns a silver Subaru. Turns out she backed out of her driveway -- a good 40 feet away in her tinted window Jeep Grand Cherokee and demolished my driver's door. I call the cops and he asks me if I just want him to do a field report that isn't filed so I can have the lady pay me directly and not go through insurance. I said, "Why would I want to do that when I wasn't in the car and it was her fault." So anyway, I don't want the door repaired. I want it replaced. Wish me luck.

Hey, at least it wasn't your pearlie...

I see people driving around here with very dark tinted windows and I wonder if they will survive the next winter.
Some people like this can't even see when it's light out, imagine 20 hours of darkness.

That sucks. Every time i'm in an accident the officer's say "do you really to file a report" and i'm like hell yes, it's rock solid proof that the othe rdriver can't start lying about the situation making my life hell. Always get a report filed, it's the police officer's job to do that, and protect your rights. YOu weren't in the car, it's her fault, she could easily lie to her insruance though if the cops don't take a report, then it's your word aagainst hers. Don't get screwed, and i suggest going through insurance vs settling privately. I only say this because, you have i think 48hr to report to your insurance so that they'll take care of it. What if she waits a couple days then try's to back out of it, then insurance will no longer play a roll, and again, your screwed.

...yes, I'm really glad it wasn't the Pearlie. Also, I hope I don't have a problem getting a new door, and that the paint color matches. I don't want to have a ton of bondo and then at some point in the future have other problems like with the window motor and stuff.

Wow Dan that sucks. Odd enough its a month and 5 days after the SAME thing happened to the laguna. Only difference was that she didnt hit a door on my car but rather the panel behind it.
