My friendly neighborhood drunk driver!!

we found out last night that the drunk driver was driving a newer model volkswagon. Think about how much damage he did in a freakin volkswagon. Man, he must have been flying down our street to do that. I looked in the back of the aspire and there is a tear in the metal where you can see the road below the car, the rear axle has a nice bend in it, and the steel 13" rim is bent pretty severally. The back of the car is like 3 inches lower now and its seems to me that I am getting the short end of this stick. I loose my car and I will only get probably like $500 for it, the thing ran like a champ, good a/c, great heat. No problems at all with it. The collison was so bad that it broke the battery stand under the hood free from the fender wall, and ripped the battery cables out of the batter clamps. Man this guy was moving at 4 am on Christmas morning. Crazy stuff. There were peices of my car spread out for like 100 ft around the accident. Fun stuff, at least the GSR is in repairable shape. It crushed the front bumper, cracked the condensor and radiator, and broke the a/c lines that run in the bumper. So its pretty good damage for a 3 car wreck. and the distince is what ammazes me. But anyhow, enjoy and Merry Christmas! Later

did they catch the guy? i would call all the body shops in town and tell them to be on the lookout for a newer volkswagon with red and green paint on it.
you should be able to get a loaner usually because it was his fault for no cost, talk to your insurance people and see what you can get out of the guy. tell them you need a car to go to work or you will get fired etc. etc.
drunk driving sucks, i like driving more then drinking, thats why i am no longer a big drinker. I have all my fun gong to and from bars 
i told myself i would never drive drunk and never have. But you must throw people for a curve when ur in your cobra then you stroll around in that. That sucks to see that but at least it is a cheap beater car, sucks for the integra though but didn't look too bad
damn. did they get the dumbass who did it?
Yeah they did arrest the guy. I have a suspision that its my neighbor across the street. He went off to college this year, but he should have come home for christmas, and he drives a newer jetta. But the police told me we have to wait for the report to come out tomorrow(monday) to find out any information on the person involved. It is pretty comical that my little beater got smashed, but it does suck to have no beater any more. That little car looked like hell, but it ran like a champ. I havent owned a better car, well in maintanence issues that is. My cobra is down right now for a vortech rebuild and a head job. But now I will have a reason to put all my attention into that. So I am starting on it tomorrow morning. I have a week off, so I should have it going pretty good by then. But I dont have a ride for a while. And I do hope to get a rental for at least a week or so. But the little fart deserves to detox in jail for a while. And the penalties for a attempted hit and run, and a DUI are really severe in Texas, so he will be in enough trouble as it is. And if I dont receive what I want for my car, and my bro.'s car, we can easily solve that issue in small claims. HAHAHA, I will get the last laugh either way! But thanks for the replies, and lets keep the snakes alive, and on the praul. Everyone have a nice, and safe new years, no drinking and driving. I personally dont drink at all, too many alcoholics in my family tree, someone has to be sober to keep it growing in the right direction ya know. But have one extra for me, and then call the drunk taxi service for a lift, its not worth the risk. Thanks guys. Later

That jackass deserves everything coming to him. I don't care if its a 500 dollar beater or a 50,000 dollar car, its the principle. That person shows no responsibility for his actions and completely disrespects you. After all the person is your neighbor. Now you have to go through all the trouble of finding a car and maybe legal action just because some moron can't control himself. Good luck and I hope everything works out
Right on, thats what Im thinking, but we will see what all has to happen to get everything resolved. I just really want to hand out a nice beating to him. But I know that wont solve anything. Well thanks for the replies and good thoughts, Later guys, Ill keep everyone updated on what happens!

Wow! Hope he gets what he deserves. That is just plain stupid!
quick update, I got the accident report and it was a neighbor. He lives like four houses down from me and drives a Volkswagon Golf GTI.

We are contacting the insurance right now, trying to get someone out here asap. We are getting some greif already, it sounds like it is going to be a fun ride with this one. The lady is supposed to call us to get us into a rental car. Actually they have to pay for 2 rental cars cuase they damaged both vehicles pretty badly. I will keep the updates coming, any suggestions would be great. Oh yeah, I have state farm, which we are not using at all, and he has Allstate, and we have dealt with allstate before and they seem to not be willing to pay for the damage their clients do. But we will see what happens. Later
