Super lucky the lady standing up.Take it too a shop that will replace the door.
Sorry to hear, that blows man.
she shouldn't be on the road to hit any termi!
i agree with you!! i also got hit(my rear bumper on the drivers side at a checkers parking lot. i am sitting outside at checkers having a chili dog and chili cheese fries(yum yum) when this lady parked on the opposite side of the parking lot backs up her camry into my cobra!! i am watching this happening to me in slow motion, in disbelief, she gets out of her car right away and starts crying saying how stupid she is!! mind you i am in shock and pissed off at the same time and agreeing w/her how stupid she is!! she said that her husband had kicked her out the house!! she was so upset, i started feeling sorry for her!! she had very good ins. and i ended up w/a new rear bumper!!at least your getting it fixed with nothing out of your pocket :beer:

Hopefully I will get it fixed w/out paying anything out of pocket. So far I haven't heard back from the claims guy that is supposed to be calling me to setup come looking at my car. Her insurance company is some company I have never heard of....so hopefully its not going to be a big hassle/headache to get this claim out of them. I have read some horror stories (about having trouble getting claims paid out of insurance companies), and I just pray mine isn't going to turn into one of them. Only time will tell. (In the mean time, I'm stuck with driving around in a beat up cobra. Ugh )

That sucks, but at least she owned up to what she did and you've already put in a claim through her insurance company. Have you also contacted your own insurance company? Just so they know about your claim?
I am sorry this happened. This is probably my biggest fear of using my car as a DD plus I work in a building mixed with military and civilian personal, most of which are busy all day running in and out driving all over. I hope everything gets fixed soon.
Just a car. Get over it. At least she owned up to it.
That sucks that your car got hit, but on the bright side it's the door. Push for a new OEM Ford door and make sure they blend it properly and it'll be better than new considering how bad the paint was on these out of the factory.
Plus you should be able to swing some new hinges out of the deal too so it's nice and tight.
No one wants to get hit and I would have been pissed too, but at least she didn't hit the quarter or a wheel that would require extensive work to repair!

I do feel for you, but I agree with others GET OVER IT!
My brand new 2004 Competition Orange Cobra was hit by a lady without insurance. I owned that car, my first brand spanking new car, for less than six months. It took me and the Colorado court system 2 years to bleed her for the damages. It was to the point where my insurance co decided that pursuing her for money would be more of a loss to them than the damages done.
This lady owned up to hitting your car, and you will get it fixed.

i have not contacted my insurance yet. do you think i should? i didnt think i would need to since its on her insurace?
always report an accident to your Ins. Co. whether your at fault or not!! so its on record!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Says the guy with a '97. Anything is "just a car" until you have a Terminator. After that you would rather be kicked in the bag than see your Cobra get hit.
funny...i was thinking the same thing
I actually bought my 03 with a little bit of damage to the rear quarter panel. It was the only one around for sale at the time and I was desperate... Anyways, I couldn't even bear to look at it until it got fixed. I drove it maybe a total of 150 miles in the first 5 months of owning it until I could get it in the shop to be fixed. I understand your pain my friend.
Really? Your precious "Terminator" is still a cheap, plastic Mustang. Don't church it up Dirt.

That’s very unfortunate. You got lucky that she owned up and admitted fault though. Good auto insurance companies make the whole process quick and painless if fault has been assigned, and he at-fault party has adequate coverage. Let’s hope she’s insured with a decent provider.
