Well I know it has been a while since I've been on here since I got a job back in September as a customer service rep for Sprint customers that we support in the U.S. Things just got kind of busy for me since I've been also studying for my Microsoft Certifications too so I can get a better paying job. I've also been in the process of moving into an apartment with my wife since March 1. Anyhow enough of that and on to the garbage that I've been going through for the last week and a bit now that has been stressing me out more each day.
As I was just on my way down the road to work on Feb 27 I was probably about only two minutes down the road from where we previously lived out in the country roads, when I noticed this older lady pulling down to the end of their lane. I was keeping the car around the speed limit and as the closer I got I noticed her not even looking my direction so I took my foot off the gas and realized she isn't going to stop. Before I knew it she was out in front of me and I quickly slammed on the brakes while trying to stear toward the shoulder of the road. I had no luck since I was just slidding and banged into the back driver side of her car and kept slidding then went off the road and went over the mailbox post at the end of their driveway just narrowly avoiding the hydro pole and this huge tree where I finally came to a stop. I got out of the car and immediately phoned the police because I was shaking so much. It took around 2 hours before the officer showed up and then we had to give both sides of what happened. She automatically told the officer that it was her fault since she didn't want to get stuck due to the plow leaving some snow behind that her 2007 Ford Focus could not get through. The officer claimed that he was going to charge her for Failure To Yeild to Oncoming Traffic. She also said she would pay for the damage. I had the car taken to GM in town since they did work before for the previous incident that I've posted on this site.
The following day she calls me and says she wants more than one estimate and wants me to take it to a bunch of places to find her the cheapest rate. I then explained to my wife the issue and we decided it would be best to just go through insurance since she obviously is going to cause problems since she even had the nerve to say that I was speeding. I don't speed in that car since I've been trying to keep it in as good of shape as possible and I really want to try and make it last me until the new Camaro comes out. From that point that she was going to make things difficult we decided to just go through insurance. Well the next problem was the insurance I've been trying to deal with the last 5 days and it seems like they can't get nothing done since they can't find that lady's insurance or even her drivers license to process the claim. The whole week has been one problem after another. All the damage is done to my driver side which took out the hood, bumper, fender, headlight, turn signal, fog light, and wheel well. The cost of all the damage is around $4200 with taxes. The only good news I have is that the insurance company will repair my car but I may have to pay the deductible of $500 if they can't find out who her insurance is with. Anyhow I need to try and get some sleep but I haven't even been sleeping good either because my mind just won't stop thinking about everything so I came on here to vent.
Sorry for making it such a big post.

Thanks. I just can't believe how everything happened so quickly. What had me disappointed the most was that I just had a few things done for the car recently. I put new brakes on the front that has the grooves in the rotors. I think the company's name was ATE or something like that. I even bought ceramic pads by Monroe with them to reduce the amount of brake dust I've been getting in the summer. The front brakes ran me a bill of almost $800 since I had to replace the calipers since they were seized on the passenger side.
I had to do an emission test back in September to renew my plates for the car and I couldn't believe how clean that engine is running now from the time I bought the car! Boxing Day I managed to pick up a set of Infinity Kappa speakers for $150 which made a huge difference in my stereo system. I can say they were worth it. In the end though I'd say I've had to of put at least a total of $1500 dollars into the car over the past 6 months.

You didn't get a driver exchange form? Every accident I do I run all the plates and license's to make sure that everything is valid. Then each driver gets a form with both driver's information so that this type of thing doesn't happen.

Sorry that sucks-

Well today has been the best day of the week so far since I took the police report into the insurance office here in town. They were able to find out who her insurance was with and now I know I won't have to pay the $500 deductible for the claim. I do hope my insurance doesn't go up since it just went down to $418 per year. I guess it must have something to do with me going to be 30 years old this year.

well good to hear you got that figured out. sorry to hear about your car though.

Sorry I never got to post pics up of the car when it was hit but I have what it looked like after the repairs from the GM Collision center. Before winter I removed the clear bumper signals and the clear side markers. I also removed the carbon fiber tail lights since I kind of liked the stock lights more since I cleaned them up by removing the Niteshades paint from them. I have recently cleaned up the passenger headlight by wet sanding with 400 than 1500 and applying the Meguiars Plastix. It was worth it since the car looks almost new now. I'll have to show pictures of the car once the weather gets a bit better.

Well i must say it doesn't look all that bad.
