Hit And Run, Good News
Took the wife out a couple of weeks ago to a restaurant in Monterey Ca. While inside someone backed into the passenger door of my 02 vert with an SUV accourding to witnesses. Cost to fix, $863.00. Good news is that the person did it has contacted us and is willing to pay for his mistake.
Says, check is in the mail. Guess there's still good folk's out there!!

Hope they come through for you. I wonder if they know that they could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident?

Oh man
Have you ever heard of the saying "The three biggest lies...."??
"The check is in the mail" is one of them, "It's only temporary" is the second, and...well, the third is XXX-rated.
Good luck
