A few weeks ago I was going to lunch with a co-worker (who I had previously worked with at another company... hellooooo referral bonus!) and as we were leaving the parking lot, another co-worker comes whippin' around off the main street into the driveway and clips my front/driver-side bumper. I was honestly in complete shock. We both get out of the car and my '20 Kia Sorento took most of the damage. I was going like MAYBE 2-3 MPH. He claimed he didn't see me (somehow) because I was under the breezeway (our building is 2 stories and you drive out a little breezeway from the back parking lot to the street so it's shaded).
He apologized profusely and told me he has insurance and would pay for everything as it was completely his fault. I inspected the damage and figured it was OK to drive so I went to lunch w/ the other co-worker but could barely converse 'cuz I was so ticked off.
He is the "driver" or "assistant" to the patriarch of the company (started it 51 years ago and his son is now President/CEO). After lunch he gave me all his info and I took photos.
Today I FINALLY got my car to the body shop. Initially he said that he would have to pay out-of-pocket to get me a rental, but turns out he got his insurance company to foot the bill instead.
I own very few "nice" things. I have only had a fresh-from-dealer new car one other time in my life. I bought this Sorento after getting a much better, higher-paying job and absolutely love this car.
So yeah, I was ticked and I am hopeful this body shop is the shiznit and makes it look exactly like new.
Thoughts? Shtick?
