On my way home from the gym this afternoon I'm at a dead stop at a red light. Bam.....the car behind me hits me, not real hard, kind of a love tap. I'm pissed, I jump out of the car and look for damage. There's some but not major. This pretty good size kid gets out of his car dressed in Marine fatigues and walks towards me and says. "I'm very sorry sir I hope I didn't cause very much damage, let me get you my insurance information. The kid comes back with all the papers and apologizes again. This was the most polite respectful young man you could ever imagine.........No way I can claim this. These kids need all the breaks they can get.
Young Marine recruit just hit my car.

Nice to see people that still have manners... I can't tell you how often I'll go out of my way to hold doors for people in public ect and they don't say anything. I'd say for the most part my generation is pretty brutal when it comes to being polite.
What are you driving and how much damage was caued?
07 Benz.........minor damage, but you know these reapir costs. You think a couple hundred and it's a grand............it's not that noticeable and it's a lease so I think I might just leave it for now.
First I'll ask the dealership if I'm going to get charged when I turn it in. If not then I will live with it............it's pretty minor. I mean you need to look to see it.............:shrug:
Screw that! The car is now tainted. Throw it out and get another one. ....And get something decent this time. Your better than a Benz, Boys. Why don't you treat yourself to something nice.
.........................................................
You sure are a honest guy.
If you ask the dealership they are going to say hell yes your reponsible, go get a estimator and charge it on your lease out.
If you need to look to see it. Then so be it.
If you let the kid off the hook then I guess you did a good deed there.
I hear you Scott.........been leasing for years. My last car had a few nicks and dings and they didn't charge me. They give you some leeway on the leases............think i have about 20 months to worry about anyways.
I feel I am providing sound advice. Why else would he be posting this info, unless he was looking for input? But you are probably so blinded by your own jealousy that you can't see that.:nono:The Boys, don't pay no nevermind to smurph, he's just jealous
why don't you claim you were parked in a lot, you went to shop and when you got back your car was all messed up. say you don't know what happened and claim it that way.
I sort of suspected that about you. ....Not that there's anything wrong with that.:SIB
