yesterday will going home back from college....there is a bit of traffic
slow ,stop , go , stop, slow....anyway, i slowed down because the car in front of me stopped....4 seconds past...and i see this kia sportage charging directly behind me .....BAM!!! smacked me from behind!!
i was sooooooooooooooooo frusrated!!!
i pulled the hand brake so hard at the time that i almost pulled the danm thing off!
i got out of the car....and started cursing! opps ..maybe i shouldnt because it was ramadan....but anyways, i see the kia owner get out of the car
he was of indian nationality....and he was looking damn scared!
i felt soooooo sorry for him cause he was about to have a heart oparation
i told him that i called the police....then the guy jumped on my begging me not to put him in jail!!!!
i told him no need for that ....i just need the police so that i can get the fixing paper so we can fix our cars! (thats a rule in kuwait)
this is the damage,,,,,,,,,,,

i went to the repair shop and asked how much this would cost....he told me 90$
i asked him for 90 and then he thanked me....and appoligized and said good bye
im hoping i can fix this over the weekend
lucky for me , my s2000 has a plate for holding the number plate, if it was a USDM s2000 then i would be sure that the whole bumper would be fixed

It sounds like you handed it well, I hope this makes you feel better - this was my fender bender a few months ago!

Saud, doesn't look too bad. You got lucky...some of those rear-enders can total a car. Trust me, I know...hehehe.

It's still upsetting, though...

Shish, and I thought you were going to show us a picture of a totaled car.

Dust that sucker off, rub a little wax on it and keep driving.

Sorry to hear about your hit!

Have your body shop paint the bottom valance to match while they are it. They shoudn't charge you anymore hopefully. It would look great on your color and around that brake light.
