Soooo Today the family decided to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner as we are driving down the road through an intersection the fellow in front of me stopped, So did I... the JEEP behind me... not so much! I look up JUST in time to see the red JK come over the crest of the intersection at speed Then I hear the tires on the pavement. The Jeep SLAMS into us... no big deal we are OK but tour honda is toasted. so I drive just about 100 feet to the nearest place to swap info... only to look in the rearview to see wether the OTHER driver intends on turning to the LEFT or the RIGHT.... only to find the driver decides to Turn LEFT and GONE!!!!
I immediately called 911 and talked to the dispatch officer as I tracked down the idiot who STILL has on of my tail lights attached to the bumper of the jeep! Being a courteous driver I had to wait for the other drivers at a stop light ( I wasnt in my jeep) so once I make the turn I see the jeep is now totally gone.
So I ended up circling back around to pick up the remains of the honda and in my sideview I see the red jeep pulling out of a business complex and dart across traffic to once again evade myself... THIS SUCKS!
So I decide to try and catch up again WHILE on the phone with the POlice HA!
only to once again have to wait on a stop sign where others are cordially waiting.
So i ended up just stopping and telling the police where I was to make a report, well while waiting for the people who "serve and protect" to show up... 6 wreckers are on site and one of the guys noticed that the licenseplate left a pretty hefty mark on the bumper of my car and that much damage would have definitely made the plate come off the other vehicle and he suggested I go back and see.
I took his advice and upon arriving at the scene of the incident sure enough there is the red jeep STOPPED in the middle of the road and one of the passengers is out to retrieve the plate, I pulled up and intercepted the plate myself and when I did this the jeep driver AGAIN tried to leave! but no worries as I NOW have their PHYSICAL license plate in my hand! now mind you the driver LEFT their friend on the side of the road while they tried to make a clean getaway! So I pulled next to the jeep to see... a cutsie little Teenage girl driving... OMG
I pulled in front of her and showed her the plate and told her she needs to pull into the parking lot she agreed!
when we got out of the cars I said uh hello hit and RUN!!! called a felony! she began to tell me she didnt run... I laughed and she immediately called daddy and told him HER version of the occurence she said that she was waiting on the side of the road for me I said ok whatever I said YOU HIT ME... you LEFT the scene.... no matter HOW you look at it, thats a hit and run she then tried to tell me that somebody hit her jeep and I said BS nobody hit your jeep this was her SECOND mistake... she said sir this is a jeep and you cant see or FEEL damage when somebody hits you... I corrected her by saying "hi I drive a real jeep and I know all about how jeeps feel and respond to a collision" I even threw in there that I drive a REAL jeep lol
Anyhow mom n dad show up on scene and whip out the ole checkbook to make it all go away mom said what do you want to see happen here tonight... I said well given the circumstances that your daughter smashed into MY car WITH MY FAMILY IN IT and THEN tried to LEAVE I feel its important that an officer know what happened... well come to find out this particular idiot girl had JUST gotten her license... like two HOURS prior to hitting me... and she had two other teeny boppers in there with her...
Anyhow Im so apauled at the situation that I told the mom that I think that the best plan is to have an officer present so we know we got everything done properly... she kept saying that we dont need to involve the police to make things more complicated... blah blah blah so on and so forth.
Long story short after dealing with mom the silver tongue devil and the CLUELESS daughter and the almighty powerful harris county sheriff deputy I decided that WITH a report AND a claim number that I was satisfied that These douche bags had enough money to buy a damn good lawyer to get this turned around on ME so I took the info and SEVERAL pictures of the situation and decieded to take the insurance WITH a claim number already and be on our merry way
So here is what I ended up with

Trunk was rippled

I noticed THIS on the rear driver side door
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/XJ4IV/IMG165.jpg
so I opened the door to find this nice little small crease
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/XJ4IV/IMG167.jpg
So I checked UNDER the wheel well to see if any extensive damage occured...
hard to tell
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/XJ4IV/IMG166.jpg
so I checked the passenger side to compare, it looked the same soooooo....

the subframe is jacked to crap
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/XJ4IV/IMG169.jpg
Then I noticed that there was another ripple in the driver rear quarter
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/XJ4IV/IMG170.jpg
soooo remember when she said somebody hit her jeep which made her hit me...
Hmmmmm I dont see so much as a RUB MARK from someone making contact with her!
