Default Another Victim of Friday The 13th!

Today after having lunch with my girlfriend, I was heading home from Seafood Port in Torrance, CA. A green ford taurus ran a red light and I rear ended him. The dude tried to make a run for it so i can to chase him down until he ran into a dead end, where i eventually got his insurance information. My bad just has a few bumper cracks, cracked the grill, small bend on the hood. The car wasn't as bad as I anticipated.

Here are some pictures, the damage wasnt as bad as I expected when i hit him at 30mph.

I heard if you got hit and ran. You are suppose to chase him because you can get a ticket for speeding. The correct way is calling the cops. But who does that? LoL.

+1 Just another day. When things dont go your way, just assume they happen for a higher reason. Sure we all wish cost wasnt involved, but what better way to get our attention.

Ouch..Where in Torrance are you? We have quite a few good shops in the 310 area..Stay away from Sams autoland (although they're insurance approved they overspray like maad).including a few in the area you can get a new bumper from and an upgrade grill as the OEM grill is $$
