Default Got run off the road

So I was driving home from work in the rain the other day when I felt someone hit my back left side of my car. When they hit me they put me in a 360 spin where fortunately no one else hit me but I smashed into the corner of a curb. It hit so hard my mustang tilted on two wheels and set off my seats' side air bag. I thought I flipped but fotunately I didn't. Also, when I got out to see who hit me, there was no one there. A hit & run! I couldn't believe it. Here is what my car looked like. My rim was shattered, a couple dents from where they hit me, a bent rear axle and me frame shifted. Sucks. Fortunately they're fixing it. The damage was about $5K. May was bad luck for me....

I just noticed how it said "Friendly" under my tire while it was on the tow truck... Funny... I guess they were not too friendly...

Wow! i have never seen a wheel get smashed like that either. even worse it was a hit in run. Just like stangchick said... they are going to get theirs for that, they could have killed you! Good thing you are okay.

if it was a hit and run, how are "they fixing it" unless you mean your insurance company?

Yeah, the insurance company is paying to have it fixed. Minus my deductible because of the hit & run. Which sucks.

FINALLY! I got my Mustang back from the shop today. It's great to have that "rumble" again when I'm driving as opposed to the stupid rental cars they give out. I'll post a picture soon of how it looks.

Nope, never did. They cost me a $500 deductible... So hopefully karma isn't kind to them in the future.
