So there I was getting onto the 10 freeway, inching along into traffic at the same 5mph that everyone else was doing at 3pm in West Los Angeles. I had just finished my chicken fiesta burrito and let the car to my right, merge in front of me. So I was stopped and looked down at my chicken soft-taco...
I didn't even have time to think "Mmmmm, chicken soft taco!" before SLAM! This moron rear ends me.
So I looked up in my big ***, 300mm ricer mirror, shook my head, turned on my blinkers, and pulled the ten feet forward onto my curb. The guy in the Jetta behind me got out of the vehicle, and makes the stupid excuse, "Dude, I was lookin at my iPod." <--- I swear to you, actual words.
I sort of shrugged and got down to look underneath my car. The right rear side looked fine. On the left rear side, I noticed that my exhaust hanger was broken. At that point I straightened up, looked at the guy, and asked him if he had insurance.
"Man, I didn't even hit you that hard." He says.
"You hit me hard enough to break the exhaust hanger." I explain to him.
"Whatever, it's an after market exhaust." He tells me and at this point I am copying down his information.
"I bet you it was broken before I even hit you. Besides, it's only a 240SX anyway." He continues to jabber on, irking me with that "only a 240SX.." comment.
He said some other stupid things, and the last word I got in was, "If you had been paying attention in the first place, I wouldn't have to be talking to your stupid ***."
----
I when I asked the guy if he had insurance, I was all ready to settle for $100 cash if he had it, and not even bother calling the insurance. After he made that, "It's just a 240SX." comment, after getting out of an early 90's, VW Jetta GLI AUTOMATIC, and then being a ****, there was no way I wasn't going to call the insurance. So, I reported the accident. I guess I feel kind of bad, but the way I look at it... there's no way I'm gonna pay to have someone fabricate and weld a new exhaust hanger, when it was broken by some dumb ***, using an Apple product, driving an automatic, who then decided to be an *******.
Got rear ended

I couldn't have kept my cool after that comment. Reminds me of the time one kid I knew rear ended me while i was at a stoplight, his car was not drivable so he has to call the cops and freaks out cuz he and his friends had been smokin opium and had some left on them...his excuse was that he was starring at a shiny object on the side of the road. I had a mustang at the time but had it been my 240 things would have been a lot worse for him.

Guys, trust me. I wanted to rip his stupid librete piercing out of his lip and push his stupid *** into traffic (even if it was only going 3mph). As satisfying as that would have been, the trip to LA County jail would have severely sucked. So, I'm just going to get some insurance money and let him deal with the raised insurance premiums. Maybe he can hawk his stupid iPod on eBay to cover the increased expenses.

Ahahahah your just saying that because you know my ex and she got a s15 front now. MUAHAHHAHAHAH... to bad she is my ex now. bah...
sory about the car phax. I would stick it to him 2 for being an arse. you need to find a really really expensive body shop that can do your insurance estimate for you. Good luck man and hopefully you can come out of it with a new engine or something.

haha im praying i get rammed in my coupe right now but i dont think its gonna happen haha. good call phax, but i hear county prison isn't that bad i hear thoo haha. so what did he ruin just exhaust hanger or is bumper messed up at all if so "get a hi estimate" then get a check written out to u and fix it and pocket some money. my bro got 2500 for his 2 messed up doors on his maxima but they still work fine so i put some clear rustoleum on and he got 2500 for his pos maxima he doesn't take care of.

The way I understand LA county intake, there's not very much room allocated for a whole lot of people who really don't want to be there.
From what I saw when I looked under the vehicle, the rear most exhaust hanger was broken.
I figure after getting my BMW taken out by some inattentive individual a few years ago, and then getting screwed in that settlement, I'm karmatically owed some compensation from the insurance industry.
FINAL VERDICT
I should have pushed his stupid *** into traffic.
The claims adjuster for Mercury Insurance called me today, and let me know that the phone number they have on file for the guy who hit me, has been disconnected. The insurance agency is going to conduct an investigation. I already had a straight forward conversation with the adjuster, and got her to admit that if the guy turns out to not be insured by them, they don't have to pay me anything.
If that turns out to be the case, I have to go Jetta hunting in LA. That's not a very happy prospect.
