Angry I got into an accident!

Never thought it could happen to me...

It was at 6:05am

Made a left turn on uncontrol light

Misjudged the distance of car (92 Vigor) going on green light

We both braked...bam

Some damage, no damage to engine

I will post pics up later

Sad thing, I was trying to find the Buddhist temple to do my Eastern Religion site visit at 5:45am....couldn't find it...

I know how you feel.
Sorry about your misfortune.
Go find the temple and Buddha will bring you some good luck.

Apparently, we are going to settle this wihtout insurance

He wants $400 to paint his bumper and fix scratches for his 1992 Acura Vigor...says that it has "custom" paint.

For me, actually, I have hardly any damage (the scratch I thought I had were actually paint from HIS car!)...the light housing just popped out..

update: last one

Well, we met up at 11am and I gave him $250. (I know he will just pocket the money).

Literally, the damage is about $50-75 worth...very very shallow scrathes (and bumper needs to just be adjusted)...

But gave him $250 (check) and made him sign waiver.

Took less than 2 minutes.

property damage is repairable or replaceable. Bodily damage is not the same. As long as you are not hurt that is more important.
