Minor car accident on 5 Aug
Posted on August 15th, 2011 by yowch
YowCH bumped into a car (Honda Fit) on 5 Aug morning during the morning jam on PIE (probably too sleepy). The damage on our car was very minor (scratched bumper and small crack on the grille) but the tailgate door and bumper of the Fit was dented.
A gentleman’s agreement was reached, and YowCH paid for the repairs which was done at Ricardo (3 days). The owner of the Fit needed a car to go around, so we paid for a rental car for 3 days at $75 per day (Altis). The repair came to about $700, so the whole incident cost us close to $1000.
On Sunday, YowCH did some home repairs on the bumper using wires, applied superglue to strengthen the crack on the grille and touched up the bumper paint.
Lesson learned: stay alert and awake while driving.
