people above the age of 50 should be required to take an eye and driving test, twice a year...older than 60 needs to be 4 times a year. Anyone caught texting while driving needs to have their license removed as well. Hate stories like this.

Wow. This topic is shameful. Youre going to punch an old lady over a car?

Yup.. I will punch an old lady, a young lady, an old man, or a young man over a car or almost anything else that they hit if they drive it in a direction without looking. OP's car was right BEHIND her when she was REVERSING, so she obviously didn't look. Would you be saying this topic is shameful if there was a child standing behind the car when she reversed it without looking where she was going? Just sayin.

This topic isnt about some one running over a small child. Its a bunch of children saying they would punch old women for damaging something that is easily repaired and replaced.

Lol sure... Like Mark355 said - I don't think anyone here would actually take a swing at someone for something accidental. It's an exaggeration because we care about our cars. Just saying "go buy another," while true I guess, overlooks the work, money, and attachment modding a car involves. Yeah, it can be replaced but it'll never be the same. Someone with a Corolla may not care, but we do.

Instead of saying we're a bunch of "sad people," try to sympathize with the OP.

OK! I've got a great idea! So after speaking with insurance the estimates are around $1500 in damage. Seeing as I've always loved the overfender look I spoke to the shop and asked them to just repair and QP a little, match the paint and install overfenders for me. How good of an idea is this? I asked for a personal check from the insurance and I'm REALLY not looking forward to Carfax "accident reported" seeing as it's a little dent. But how good of an idea is this? And what overfenders fit the best with factory bumpers in the rear?

Wow. Just wow. So using your logic, if a 5 year old girl ran into your car with a bicycle, you'd punch her in the face?

LOL WOW. Just wow. So using your logic... You're comparing a 3,000+ lb car hitting someone to a 20lb bicycle hitting someone... Try again dude.

It's sad that some of you people don't know what a figure of speech is.

Agreed. The moron who drives the yellow S that was hit should be the one that never gets to drive again.

OP you're a jerk.

Can you PM me her information? I'd like to report the fact she might be in physical danger dealing with the likes of you to the police so they can pay you a visit. Your VIN and plate would be helpful as well. I'd love to make some calls and get you off the road for the next year.
