I got hit... twice!

This will **** anyone off. I went out drinking with some friends. I didn't drive my car. I left it at a friends apartment complex. When I got back from the bar, I still didn't feel like driving. So I did the responsible thing and got a ride. Well, when I got back to my car this guy and his T-bird put a nice 2 foot long dent in my driver's side fender and door, as well as cracking my vent. He also hit it just perfectly as keep me from opening the door without further damaging the fender. So until I take it in Monday afternoon, I have to crawl in from the passenger side. I always feel so ghetto, and I shouldn't because it's an RX-7! Luckily, he has insurance, and they are paying for all of it.

Then just three days ago, I'm sitting at a red light behind my friend when I hear this screeching sound. I look behind me and see this guy just in time for him to clip my back bumper. OH, I thought that I was gonna kill him. He seemed scared enough when I got out of the car, but my boy pulled up too, and he got really scared. He just tapped the plastic bumper, so it didn't make a dent. He did, however, hit the top of my exhaust tips, and gave them an interesting new look. (It's actually kinda cool) Here comes my stupid self- Since I didn't see any damage, I let him go without exchanging info. But now, I have some wierd bubbling noise coming out, sounds like an exhaust leak. I'm thinking that it has something to do with my downpipe, because when I rev it, I can feel hot air coming through my shifter. Any thoughts guys? Well, sorry it's so long. Just needed to vent a little.

Sorry to hear about that dude. Everytime I go down to Norfolk or Va Beach, I always come back with a dent or see some of that **** happening.
For the longest I thought maybe the salty Atlantic air effected brain cells???

Open the door so insurance will buy you a new fender and new paint

If he hit the exhaust from behind, it probably broke a weld loose if not bend/break studs!

Yeah, I'm taking it in after I get the body work done. You should have seen how scared the guy w/ the T-bird was when I met him. He's like 5'2" weighs about 110. He was shaking when I tried to shake his hand after everything got taken care of.
