Leaving no choice, I parked the car... but on second thoughts, she changed her mind. Too hot to walk, she said... actually it was, I prefer to go home fast... the weather was really burning.
Then I started then engine and slowly reversed my car out... looking left and right... And all of a sudden, I saw another car also reversing out, I quickly changed my gear to "D" and wanted to go back in... TOO LATE!! His car was reversing out quite fast and it Banged onto mine... in fact both of our cars banged at the corners.. A big Sigh could be heard from me!
Got down and saw this... bumper crooked there...
and a gap could be seen.... another sigh..
As for the other driver, his was a big scratch too
and the light has a small crack....
Both of our cars almost the same damage...
Both of us were in the wrong...
Both of us said "never mind" and then "goodbye"...
But my friend was very gracious.. her husband told me to go to his mechanic friend and he insisted on paying him this morning... he didn't want to tell me how much but I think it was less than a hundred.. what do you think?
Since that accident yesterday, I seem to have a phobia in reversing my car today....
adoi..really kek sum
ReplyDeleteBut your friend also very nice. Got it repair for you FOC
ah yo. lucky everybody ok. so it's a small price lah hor.
ReplyDeletekathy: yeah lo.. i will give her back when i see her next week.. this morning in mechanic also chang chi pei lui...
ReplyDeletetuti: yeah.. small price but troublesome only..
She is a true friend, and so are you. ;)
ReplyDelete+Ant+
That's why they call them accidents. Neither of you intended for this to happen. I have a feeling someone that knows what they are doing were able to pull that gently back into place. When i bumped my back end into another car, I had to have the whole bumper replaced. Cost a little over $500.00, we have $100.00 deductible, insurance paid the $400.and some odd cents, and our son sent me a check to cover that, so I got off pretty easy. LOL Glad yours wasn't anything more serious and no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteYou may need to pay a couple of thousand. Dismantle the whole bumper get a new one, respray the desired color and then...just kidding not sure myself..haha
ReplyDeleteWell, not that little, should be more than RM400. I paid RM600 for my damaged front bumper.
ReplyDeletesome people just don't see 1st b4 reverse oh.. I always saw this type of people.. eee.... sakit hatiiii oo...
ReplyDeleteI can understand your phobia. Think positive, this just a small price. My car broke down 2 days ago, and I needed to pay RM650 for replacing a "tangki" and battery.
ReplyDeletegratitude: what a nice thing to see.. hahaha..
ReplyDeletepatty: mine will be around 100rm.. less than that, i guess..
bananaz: i nearly pengsan!!
mingna: no need la.. cos just put back into place..no need to spray.. little bit only.. i think around 50rm can ...
cath: sometimes i wanted to be careful but cannot.. :(
sheohyan: wahhh...so much? lagi heartbroken..
Wow - you have a good friend. Sorry about your car, glad you got it fixed.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can see where you would be afraid to back up now!! So sorry! But I'm so glad no one was hurt! Your friend and her husband were a real help! You made a good decision, if it was reported to insurance, your payments would go up!! My e-mail is on my blog profile, but here it is:
ReplyDeletepghart@ntelos.net
Aiyoh, this how many times you kena bang?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, a little knock back, attach back the bumper and some touches up, think will be RM80?
togetherwesave: yeah it si fixed. :)
ReplyDeleteginny: this is a small matter so i didnt report .. thanks for email..
jessie: yeah all bumper kissed.. hahaha...
Lucky your friend kasi u repair for free, Else... lagi sakit hati!
ReplyDeleteHappened to me once...in school. Reversed out...and felt it was so very hot, so I stopped to adjust the air conditioning in the car. Mana tau, BANG....my colleague's hubby driving and it seemed he has a glass eye, one eye only. Since sama-sama colleague, I did not insist that my car was not moving and just said that we would just settle our own...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Nice car , you've got! My old 1st generation Wira - people wanna bang, bang lah... LOL!!!
ReplyDeletecleff: not nice also.. i will pay her back when i see her, with her hubby, difficult to force him to take the money.. :)
ReplyDeletestp: yeah, with colleagues, susah one.. unless she/he is really in the wrong.. my car also old liow.. bang, repair, bang repair.. heart not so painful nowadays.. hahaha..

oh no...poor red babe. probably cost more to repair it here in KL.
ReplyDeleteOh my... Accidents lurk around every corner. Fortunately yours was a minor one and your friend was so generous to pay for the damage.
ReplyDeletePoor babe...time to change a new one :)
ReplyDeleteHaste makes waste right? :p Never mind since someone is willing to pay.
ReplyDeleteIts good to hear that everybody is fine, i really feel sorry about the car but your friend is really very sweet...
ReplyDeletebarb: over here if no painting, should be less than hundred ...
ReplyDeleteyvonne: yeah, but i am going to pay back to her..paiseh..

tekkaus: no la.,. i got to pay her back.. wait till i see her..

Your friend is so kind. If I am her also I will pay on your behalf.
ReplyDeleteAiyor~! Can not claim ar...? Sigh~!Definitely a nightmare, in another hand...very lucky too, since your friend paid for the repair!^-^
ReplyDeleteCheer up and have a nice day!
Yes, I nderstand this kind of thing, even though kena not serious is very leceh one. And your friend is very kind to pay for you. About the phobia in reversing, trust me, the phobia will soon fade as days go by and you have to drive to run your day-to-day affairs. (I was like that to!)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your babe :(
ReplyDeleteBut now it's all pretty again!
delittleone: yeah so kind of her but i paiseh, my mistake too..
ReplyDeletealice: yeah, she wanted to pay.. :)
alicephua: hopefully.. but all along i scared to reverse one.. :)

ooops... oh dear.. :(
ReplyDeleteyes, sometimes ar look front n back, left n right...still we seems like amissed something...sigh..but good to know the driver seems to be very polite over this n admit bth in wrong
ReplyDeleteDun think too much abt it. Accidents happen. Luckily it's not something serious.
