Default Not Again!

Apparently the car gods hate me. Yesterday I got that lame ticket from the meter maid for my tint and front plate while my car was parked at a dealership and today on my way home from SW Customs I was rearended. It was on the 57S at 2:32pm just North of Placentia. Stop and go traffic, traffic stopped so did I; the guy in the white expedition behind me didnt. Didnt appear to even slow down. It was a Southern California Edison work truck, so if anyone knows how to deal with them in speeding up the process Id love any pointers you can give. Ive already called twice and can only leave messages as they have no one answering the phones. The damage: scratches across the bumper both the back and top just below the trunk, some paint removed from the edge that runs along the bottom of the license plate opening, that opening is bent, dented and paint rippled, paint chipped off the license plate letters, plate is bent, and so is the license plate frame. Basically I need a new bumper. Tried taking pics but the damage doesnt show up well enough to post since the car is black and shiny and it the dents and bends are just refracting the light causing odd reflections that look like a bad pic instead of damage.

Jeez.....Once more into the breech I suppose!

Sorry to hear about the troubles. Try using a flash and take the pictures at an angle.

Did you call the police and make a report? Turn it in to your insurance and they will get through to them.

If you didn't get a report, good luck getting them to take care of it.

Your car was obviously parked on the street, no? If not, car dealership lotsare not enforcable for parking/registration/other cites, since they are private property, and therefore not enforceable unless posted, under Calif. Code.

First of all, what a little b1tch meter maid. Seriously, that is a lame ticket- front license plate and tint.

Regarding the Edison truck thing, hopefully you got all the info, including their insurance carrier. Also, should have gotten the name and number of the driver's supervisor, so you can call and harass somebody if your claim isn't being expediently/satisfactorily handled.

Geeze. Again I notice you posting the exact same thing on multiple forums. I guess it's much easier to cut and paste than to actually write more than one thing.http://www.lamustangclub.com/forums/...ad.php?t=17363You did this twice within the last two weeks about the Agent 47 crap as well.
