I had an interesting weekend.
Had to drop my Discrete Math class on Friday to preserve my GPA. I'll be retaking it after I've spent some time with a tutor and can actually understand what I'm doing.
My car was hit on Saturday while out with my daughter. An idiot lady didn't stay in her lane while we were both making a left-hand turn. Nothing cracked, but she did hit me hard enough to misalign and push in the left side of the bumper where it meets the fender. She's trying to argue that she didn't hit me even though both myself and my daughter felt the impact and heard a loud crunch come from the nose. I'm pretty sure the impact foam behind the bumper cover was damaged and it's possible the fender might have been bent. The insurance adjuster is supposed to be here today. I have pics of the exact spot that I took a couple of weeks ago after I had the new stripes put on so I have evidence that there is damage. Even the cop that showed up acted like I was lieing about the accident despite my daughter confirming everything I was saying. They just don't understand that Corvette body panels have a lot of bend in them.
The clean spot on the dirt on her door that lined up perfectly with the spot she hit should hopefully help prove that an impact actually did happen. I have a witness; she doesn't, despite her entire family showing up at the spot we'd pulled over at. Five cars showed up, all driven by her family members.
Sunday I took Rylie out to the beach at Lake Joe Pool and I left looking like a lobster. The supposed "waterproof" sunscreen proved to not be so waterproof.

So Tim and I got rikkis transmission fluid changed and new brake pads and rotors on her car as well as both of our cars washed. I would say a successful day. We also talked about going shotgun shooting sometime and wanted to extend the invite to anyone interested. It is a series of 12 spots that you access via golf cart and you shoot clay targets that come from a variety of different directions. You keep score similar to golf based on how many you shoot. It is about $60 a person and that includes the golf cart! You can bring your own gun/ammo or rent some of theirs. We could go early one Saturday or Sunday morning.

Thanks David. I am not happy about the situation. I still can't believe the lady tried to drive away and claims she didn't hit me. The clean spot in the dirt on her door that lines up perfectly with my bumper/fender should have been enough evidence.

Sarah got rear ended Friday morning by a dude that drives a Lincoln town car for one of these limousine companies in town. Dude bumps Sarah then jumps out and offers her $45 cash instead of calling their insurance.
Estimate to fix it is $600. Basically the bumper has to come off and be repainted.

You did get pictures at the scene didn't you? Probably broke the running light lens too or cracked them,,,look close I did get plenty of pictures and fired all of them off to my insurance and lawyer today. I also just got back from the dealership so I could get a tentative estimate for repairs and just from what the guy could see the repairs are ball-parked at just shy of $2000. Both wheels on the passenger side took a good amount of road rash from the concrete divider I was pushed into and will need to be replaced. Also, the driver's side headlight has cracked pivots so that whole assembly will have to be replaced as well. The lights wouldn't even come up when I first tried to turn them on. He had to mess with them to get them to go up and down again, so probably additional damage there.
He also said that there is most likely additional damage inside the nose under the headlight because there's something that feels like it's cracked but there's no way to tell until the fender is removed, and no way to determine any damage behind the bumper cover until it is removed too. The fender liner has moved also; the metal clips that the screws go into that hold it in place are exposed and they should not be, which indicates that it was pushed by the collision.
I still need to get Dewayne's address and/or phone number so I can take the car up there to him to get an estimate if anyone can please provide me with that information.

Great news! Just got off the phone with my attorney and he's agreed to take the case! He's sending someone out here tomorrow to bring me the contract so we can get things rolling. That's a huge weight off my shoulders; I've been worrying all day about having to fight State Farm all by myself.
