And from the tread blocks on the door I’d bet a knobby tire dirt bike.
None of this matters, but at least it's more of a picture that there's no way in hell I'm responsible for this. So my insurance shouldn't rise because of it. But I don't know what happens with A pillar denting. If that's more of a serious issue or not.

I give up. Literally anything would get damaged from something like this. No Jeep or truck or 4R or whatever would be immune to a drunk motorcycle hit.
I fucking hate people so much. Take some ownership of your stupid acts. Man the fuck up and leave a note. I'd be 500x cooler about this if there was a note and the dude was legitimately sorry. But finding rogue damage to my car when I only went over to it to see if i could adjust the seat for more comfort is as f. But this is America. This is par for the course in this goddamn country.
Surprisingly, this isn't the worst damage I've found on one of my cars. My GTI had a HUGE dent in the rear quarter panel from something unknown, its bumper got cheese gratered by a lifted F150 that when I called him out on it he actually called me and denied doing it. And before that happened, it got backed into by some truck and the entire left front corner of the bumper got destroyed.
Lisa's car had a ladder fall on it last year. She got it repaired under her insurance after the lady's homeowners insurance company (from the UK) ghosted her. She's out $500 deductible and never getting that back. Just the other day I noticed a big dent on her hood where some fuck face was loading/unloading whatever and slammed it into her car. No note of course.
You literally cannot have anything nice here.

I've never dealt with a dented A pillar. Is this a big problem? A pillars are part of the crash structure. It's thick metal up there. That fucker hit his head HARD.

Yep looks to be a motorcycle accident I doubt a bike would go THAT fast... U could really use a Model 3 with sentry mode... It basically records everything around it.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 5:15 pm

Sentry mode doesn't matter to me, it doesn't prevent it from happening in the first place. That's what I'm after. To never have to deal with any of this horseshit. I really wish I didn't have to own a car. I'm serious about that. I'd love to just never give a fuck and take public transit to center city and all that.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 5:53 pmYep looks to be a motorcycle accident I doubt a bike would go THAT fast...

Looks to me like it could have been a flatbed/workbox truck and hitting the brakes/gas really makes them move up/down.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 4:29 pmthere's no way that can be dented by just being keyed, so I could've thought bike or scooters, but the handle bars are usually higher. I think a front end swing may probably be the best way on how it happened to begin with, most likely a real SUV.

Sorry this happened to your car man, it would be decent if the asshat at least left a note and really should pay for the damages.
My wife's bumper got raped recently by someone pulling out of a parking spot and cutting in too early. She was parking at a mall, no note or anything so we are on the hook for it out of pocket or have to put in a claim which is never my first choice.

Do that a couple times and see how fast you get dropped by your insurance company.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 8:36 amI never understand the fear of making a claim for damage that is clearly not your fault.Tarspin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:11 am Sorry this happened to your car man, it would be decent if the asshat at least left a note and really should pay for the damages.

You pay for insurance. Use it.
These days they can't wait to increase your premium or drop you if you even use your benefit you pay for.

It's cheaper and easier to self-insure and only carry the minimum legally required insurance, isn't it?[user not found] wrote:My opinion still stands.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 8:39 am Do that a couple times and see how fast you get dropped by your insurance company.

Insurance companies absolutely know you need them and have the position of power. If you get dropped you'll pay a higher fee with the next company for not currently having coverage.
Many of the companies I was getting quotes from wouldn't take the 911 because it was originally more than $75k and still worth more than that. This limits me to the big 3 or 4 companies if I want consolidated coverage, and crazy prices.
My rates are okay, good actually but when I got quotes if I switched I'd be paying 2x and 3x per month. Right now for all the cars it's $330/month.

If you have to live that life and can't move I'd probably walk, bike, or brave mass transit. Always wondering if my car was getting raped wouldn't sit with me.
