I had a party at my house yesterday and had my DD ( scion xb ) parked outside. I told my girlfriend to move her car from the street next to my car near my house. So she ends up hitting my car backing up. My car has a 4k custom green paint job... She clipped mydoor near the hinge and its unable to be pulled out. So basically I have to get a new door and fix the 18 inch scratch on the driver side of my car.


Whats the best possible outcome in the long run.

I sense disaster. Why would you tell her to drive the car knowing that she was drunk?

If u dont care just go thru insurance. If she doesnt cooperate call the police.

it is your fault, you ASKED a drunk lady to move the car. you should just suck it up and claim your own insurance. if you know she is a struggling student, than it is not cool to have her to pay for it.

This statement:

Keep in mind shes 20 and a struggling student so Im looking for the cheapest possible route for her to pay.

conflicts with this statement:

If it comes down to it, I wont mind doing whatever possible so I get my car fixed. Shes expendable.

Based your premise, this question cannot be answered:

Whats the best possible outcome in the long run.

Yea man, this is somewhat your fault too, but I aint about to preach to you.

Straight up if you just want your car fixed, insurance is the way to go, otherwise you will end up gettin quoted for damage and re-spray and hope she pays for it

who puts a 4k dollar paint job on a scion xb besides the kid from tokyo drift? I mean seriously, YOU asked your buzzed/drunk/sober/whatthefuckever girlfriend to move her car. You brought about the incident, you have to figure it out... if she's expendable, turn it into her insurance and if she gets pissed and leaves, oh well.

dont act like your never drove high or sleepy or anything

*raises hand* I have never driven while high or sleepy. I don't know what "anything" means so I won't address it.

dont be a hypocrit and stay on topic. Im asking advice about this situation not on how I shouldnt drink or drive.

I hope you are not talking to everybody because I certainly did not give you any drama.

I used to do SQ contest so my scion used to be a show car. Scion has no trunk so bass goes through the whole car.
It shows how big of a douche DOOK is, to have to bring my car into this? No need to judge just because I drive a scion.
It gets 35 mpg, can hold 6 tires in the back with ease, and the bump is unbeatable.

You have a broke girlfriend who has insurance.

You want this to be fixed.

Unless you accept a lifetime supply of BJ's as payment, I don't see the dilemma.

I'm a douche? I was commenting on the irony of putting a 4k dollar paint job on your daily driver. Don't bitch out and erase all your comments about your girlfriend being drunk when she hit your car, people need to know what a dumbass you are.

It's not off topic because if she claims you told her to move it while she was intoxicated, there might be some legal issues. Though I really don't know im no lawyer.

Sorry to say but you kinda owned yourself. Why would you ask a drunk person to move a vehicle? If you want her to pay for the damage but she doesnt have disposable income to pay for it, then you might wanna go through insurance. But when you file a report, the agents are gonna get a statement from both parties, so make sure your girl doesnt say she was drunk or she might get screwed big time. Just suck it up and deal with it for now.

What was the point of moving your car anyways? Well you cant do much its basicly your fault for asking a drunken to drive your car, could of asked your sober friends.

What's the best way to go about this?

Either man up and pay for it, or find someway for your girlfriend to make you money to get it fixed.

That can be insurance, but remember she along with you will have to pay a deductible and her insurance will go up.

Her being drunk is all "heresay" at this point. She could easily deny that fact because her level of intoxication is based soley on your personal interpretation. You're just as culpable since you knowingly asked a "drunk" person to drive a car.

I read your original post, too. It seems you were looking for sympathy, but are not getting any. Let insurance handle it. That's probably the cheapest way for you, but more expensive for her in the long run because of insurance premiums. From the way it sounds, she won't even be around then, so you win.

Joke:
What's worse than a Asian female driver? a drunk Asian female driver.

its cool, I talked to her today. Shes covering it, shes gotta work overtime but Imma get it appraised and shell cover from there.

I was sort of just tripping out because of the custom paint.

dude... that kinda aint right. Just man up right now and let your girl pay whatever she can in a timely fashion. Just aint right making your girl work overtime to pay for something that isnt really a top priority. Even though she agrees to it, that's not the way you treat a woman (at least in my book).

He won't have to pay a deductible being as how he isn't at fault. Her insurance will have to pay for his car damages. So the only one who's rates are going to go up is hers.



OP: Sucks for her, make her insurance pay for it.

She doesnt want to get the insurance involved.

He edited out the part where he told her to move it while she was drunk

If you have different insurance carriers, and there is damage to both cars, you do have to pay... I forgot.

Only the person at fault has to pay once liability is determined. Depending on your coverage, you can immediately go to your own insurance provider and take care of the problem and pay your deductible. Once the other person is determined to be at fault, their insurance company will reimburse your deductable and pay for the damages.
