Default so someone just rear ended me

Pretty lame. Hit and run. I was stopped at a red light And some one slammed in to me. threw my car into neutral which was scarry. I started to get off they took off. I started to chase them but they went thru the worst part of town with biggest dips my car is lowered hitting everywhere so i couldnt go as fast. Anyway called insurance going to drop it tomorrow at the dealer. I kinda wish i had a new diffuser sure the body shop would paint and install for me but it is what it is. Super lame.

I wasnt able to get the plate they took off and it just happened to be the one street in the city that has the biggest dip. they took off going wrong side of the road they had a big headstart so i lost them at the first dip i tried going fast but i was scrapping bad. I didnt think it was worth causing more damage to my fromt end which will not be covered because damage is only in rear.

Should report it to the police. Maybe a good samaritan might have reported who had hit you. Did you see what kind of car hit you?

Sorry to hear this. One can only hope that they have a very sleepless night feeling guilty, and they or someone who witnessed it,calls it into the Police.

Definitely should have called the police - a report on the hit and run will help with your insurance claim. what a bummer, so many people refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

Sad to hear it! At least you're ok! To the idiot who took off - Karma does exist and she'll come for ya! Hopefully there were surveillance cams nearby or someone saw something and reported it!
