Maybe I wasn't meant to own a Fiat..

Those who've been around for a while would know how painful it has been. Well here's another stab in the heart







And the bonnet no longer aligns anymore..



Anyone know how many years I would get for first degree murder?

Re: Maybe I wasn't meant to own a Fiat..

Got a quote from a repairer to be ~$1,000 and will take 4 days - covered by insurance.

Damage wasn't actually that bad on the outside after the dirt was wiped off (), but its obvious the piece of panel had been pushed up so it no longer aligns with the bonnet. The black plastic clip that extends from the headlight has also buckled upwards.

Hope the wheel/tyre is ok..

Re: Maybe I wasn't meant to own a Fiat..

Went to collect car in car park after work and a note was on the windscreen apologising that she had hit my car.

Can't get much more bad luck than that - I park really early in the morning so there would have been plenty of spaces everywhere, yet she decided to park next to me. And I ALWAYS choose the space on either left or right, and as far as possible from the middle.

Was pleasantly surprised though - didn't think people these days had the courtesy to leave notes - most just speed off.

Re: Maybe I wasn't meant to own a Fiat..

That is really unlucky.

I'm so weary of where I park, and that goes for all my ****boxes I've owned previously.

It comes down to respect. Though yeah, at least they did leave a note.

Still sucks. You deserve a beer (another one from me. I still owe you my first one).

Oh, also, why do my other posts disappear?

I have spotted a few Puntos, but my posts seem to have gone.

It is going through insurance - its getting assessed by the insurer on the weekend and have semi-booked it with the repairer next week as long as the insurer approves it.

Well she said she was in a rush to get to work; but still she must had been a really s**t driver given how far away I parked my car to the next spot.

Since when did you owe me a beer?

Re: Maybe I wasn't meant to own a Fiat..

its a big pity she didn't make a better job of it.... i've been keeping tabs on your probs on the tech page (is this luvduvs 3rd and final etc) you could of claimed it was the accident that was causing your wheel alignment problem, making the insurance firm to sort that problem too!!
