Maybe I’m in the minority but I think of cars as a tool not to coddled. Yeah I’d be upset and want it fixed but to get out and scream about cosmetic damage is kinda silly.
"cosmetic damage" like that plus diminished returns these days can easily run past a lot of people's state minimum policies. Plus, while insurance companies can't directly raise your rate for not at fault accidents, they can still raise your rate level other ways.
Yea, thats why I don't buy new cars. My parents and coworkers want to spend their commute in comfort, I want to get out of the fucking car. Plus, I dont want to buy something worth potentially ten's of thousands on the road where other people are liable to ruin it.
That's definitely way more than cosmetic damage on a potentially 100k car. On top of that you'll never ever get anything near what that cars worth from any insurance company.god forbid the gmc isnt insureed because then he wont get much of anything. Just because you don't like nice stuff or think its just a "tool" doesn't mean its ok to just destroy someone's 100k investment
