I would say you want EXCLUSIVELY the dealer to fix it and get a qoute from them. After that take the money and have some other stuff done. Im also sure in all the commotion you must have not noticed a couple other things that he destroyed when he hit your car. Hint Hint........
Ps why didnt you retaliate if you thought there was gonna be a problem? Im sure at the least you could have grabbed the squigi and used that as a weapon. :bigok:

Yeah it's an FC. The thing about it though is that the body is in great condition for a 13 year old car.
Joe can you explain a little more about the private matter thing? I'm not originally from Texas and don't know much about the law out here. I called my insurance company already to see if they knew what to do and they said that I need to call the kids insurance company and file a claim with them. Is this the way it needs to happen? If not can you explain to me what I need to do? Do I need a lawyer? Do I have to go to court or something? Any extra insight on this would be great. This way I can get my money and possibly buy a FMIC and a fuel pump. I figure the bumper can hold out for a little longer. Most of the damage is not visible ao I can hide it. Anyways let me know how I need to go about doing this. Thanks.

NOTE:police report has or should have your name and address as well as his/parents. So if him and his boys tried to **** you up now, they still may have a chance to do so. get what I'm saying ?
hope it doesn't happen, just something to be ready for
