Angry Some chevy truck decided it wanted to park on my hood.

That's right, I got backed into...well onto really. He seemed like a decent guy and apologized. He filed the claim right there. I'm gonna take some pics and post em here in a bit. But I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or anything for me.

Umm make him buy you a new car? Just take it to a good shop in your area for the work since your not paying for it all. Not only that, but try and get the whole car sprayed while your at it .

Was the car all original, in decent shape?
If it was make sure you hit the adjuster with "diminished value"

Ouch!!! Hate to see that. Get a check from his insurance, buy a new hood (for sure) and then get the whole car sprayed. Good luck

That's not too bad man, just remember it could have been a lot worse! Get a good shop to work it out and it should be as good as new.
