On my way home from work last night, I got rear-ended. In my new Jeep. Just over a month old. Dammit.
The other party was driving a red Honda, either a Prelude or an Accord, Georgia tag 1794 ANW. If you see him, feel free to call Cherokee County Police at (678) 493-4140.
At first, he fled, then stopped and offered to “take care of me.” I responded that I would only settle for his license and insurance, and that yes, I was involving the police. At this point, he got threatening, and I had to retreat.
I’ve filed a report, and hopefully they’ll catch the imbecile. Funny thing is, I’m not as angry about this as I could be. I guess a part of me really has grown up at some point–I’m really more concerned about getting his insurance to pay for the damage. Most of it’s cosmetic, but he ran up underneath my back bumper, nailing the tailpipe, which in turn pushed into the muffler, killing it. There may be other damage to the exhaust system as well; I’ll know when I get the insurance company to look at it.
The whole thing just irks me.
