Well, what would you do if you did nothing to deserve being shoved aside? Right, open all doors, windows and other access points and have a party for all the friends you lived with for 10 years.

It heard you were trying to sell it, that’s why.
It was originally purchased in Canada so everything is in French.

Leave the Speedo in kilometers just to mess with him.

I have been dodging careless drivers left and right this entire trip, including one who turned left in front of me from my right hand side—they were in a “go straight” lane. Then this happened this afternoon. Hyundai in front of me stopped. I also stopped. He threw it into reverse. I had no time to do anything other than sound my horn before he hit me.
I really did not need another stressor on my plate, but it is what it is.

It got the painted and lower part of the bumper.
And he gave me an expired insurance card. Assuming I have to file under my own carrier, my word that he backed into me should be good enough that it's considered not-at-fault and (I think) in that case, they waive the deductible.
I once had the same thing happen with a power company boom truck. Just stopped and reversed right into me. Called the police and the driver admitted fault. The company couldn’t send me a check fast enough. I guess they didn’t want me lawyering up and claiming a back injury.

I would have called the police as soon as I saw an expired insurance card. That’s deceitful and I have no patience for stuff like that.
Where I live the police won’t let you drive your car with any expired documents and you’d be lucky not to be towed to the local police pound.

Some years ago my niece was negligent and pulled out from a stop sign without looking both ways. She hit a car in cross traffic. When the police came they found the other party had no insurance and cited him then towed his car. They let her go without a ticket.

Exactly. That happened to me once and I will never let it happen again. I will always call the cops on the spot.
In my case, as I’m sure I shared before, it didn’t become my fault but the fault of the poor kid who was 3rd in line. Person in the middle of us, who was the true culprit, got away with it. She said on the scene it was her fault for not seeing me stopped waiting to turn, and the kid behind her hit her after because she was stopped so abruptly. I figured I was hit in the rear so didn’t sweat the whole no cop thing. Then later when insurance called, they said lady in middle was claiming she was pushed into me. Poor kid. I talked to him after and expressed my disappointment in the other party and said this was a lesson for both of us to always get a report on the spot.

If he denies fault, the insurance company will surely require you to pay your deductible.

Years ago I got hit in the rear bumper of my new Jetta GLX. Minor damage. The dude who hit me gave me his card and said he'd take care of it. The card said he was an attorney. Mistake. Never paid. Later my wife had a truck back into the front of her car. The hood and bumper badly dented. The person who hit her begged not to call the police. She called me asking what to do. I insisted she call for a police report. Lesson learned.

As I prepare to put the convertible away for winter I open up the trunk and find wetness. I pull out the spare and the well has got about an inch of water sitting in it. It seems the top had delaminated at the base of the rear glass and recent rain had run right inside the car and down into the trunk.
I bailed as much as I could and the set up a fan to try and dry everything. I left the trunk lid up to help with evaporation. By this morning it seemed pretty dry and I set out to patch the gap where the water was entering. I tried to move the seat up so I could climb in and found the battery was dead.
So all day I was running a charge on the battery hoping it would at least be able to start the car to put it away. Finally I got it to start, ran it for an hour, climbed in and glued the fabric back to the glass. Now it’s in the driveway on a trickle charger and I hope I can finish my patch job and put it away for winter.
I don’t know if I should chance taking it to the mechanic to get the battery swapped and risk it getting rained on or just keep it in the barn on trickle until next spring. I’d do the battery myself but this car has the battery inside the fender and I don’t relish the idea of laying on gravel in the cold taking the inner fender off. I understand the process is a pain. I also have to consider that it’s time for a new top ($1200) next spring.
Maybe I should just sell it to Stickguy.

You can try but I didn’t think he was looking for a top down Winter beater.

Can you tape up the repair are temporarily until you get a new battery?
I'd put it in the barn with a cover on it until next spring.

Yeah I think I’ll wait until next spring to do all the real work.
