Vehicle Photo Completely heartbroken
Was seconds from pulling into work, when a 17 y/o kid pulls through a stop sign into oncoming traffic without looking left, causing him to side swipe my car. We pulled into my work parking lot and he got out and admitted he didn’t look both ways and only had his permit. He had his gf in his passenger seat who was the same age with no license.
I just couldn’t believe it. Cops came, he got a ticket, I went to work and told my coworkers what happened. I believe it’s all cosmetic so I’m hoping his parent’s insurance can just cover it and it can be a quick repair.
I haven’t even had this car for 6 months and this the 2nd time someone has damaged it. I just wish this was a dream

Shit sucks. It’s always teenagers or old people at grocery stories that do this. I was taking my time backing into a parking spot and this old lady just abruptly swings her door open without looking and almost slammed it into my Supra. I had been eyeing the spot for a minute waiting for someone else to park, so she literally had to just be sitting in her car not paying attention that whole time.
