SOOOOO... Yesterday morning, I was driving down the street from my friends house, on base, so 15 mph.  A kid, about 6, came out from behind a van and scared me so I slammed on my brakes so I didn't hit him.  Well, I didn't.  Good thing too!  Lol

He turned his head and screamed "there's a car!" and at that moment I started to drive again and a little girl, around the same age decided to fly out from where the little boy was and rode straight into the rear quarter-panel of my car.  I was MAYBE going 5 mph too. 

She was fine and now there is a small dent in my car, and the paint is chipped off.  Great.

Mark you have the worst luck lol.

:D

I would say to give up your drivers licence and start walking but you would probably get run over with your luck. :(

Its a curse set on him because he gave up his Pontiac ;)

:lol: as much as I'd liked to say this is true, he had it even with his Pontiacs

Preemptive strike by the car gods. They knew he would eventually give up his Pontiac so they wanted to get an early start haha

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing when it happened. I have the worst luck...

Well, I have the guys address, I didn't know what to do in that situation SO, I said idk what to do and I just wanted to make sure the kid was ok. I was hoping someone on here could help me out with advice.

Anyone know the best way to go in this situation? Do I claim it through insurance and make them pay or will I have to pay for some of it?

It's really a tough call, if that was my kid I'd probably offer to pay but who knows. The parents could take the offensive and say you hit the kid (I know, I know it's the side of your car but still I've seen stupider things win in court)

Might be worth it to call up the insurance company to report it to someone that you didn't hit the kid as well, then see what to do about the car.

Nice looking car... how long you going to have this one?

Yeah, I'm going to call my insurance today and see what to do.

Becareful... with all the car issues you have had they might drop you.

At least Marks getting his money back from his insurance, he might be paying more but at least he's using it :lol:

Thanks! I'm keeping this one for a long time... Mostly because the fiancee loves it and when we get married in a few months, it's probably going to her once we sell her car.

With the insurance thing, they won't drop me if the only accident ever reported was the GTO one. ;):lol:

No one knows anything about anything else.
