Malas talaga kahapon.

I was idling behind a Lancer along EDSA (near Cubao) when all of a sudden I felt a massive collission from behind. Good thing though that I was standing on the brakes and I was also able to engage the engine brake (as I was in first gear and the sudden jerk made me release the clutch pedal but not the brake pedal). Even though I was just 2 feet or so away from the Lancer, I didn't hit him.

I thought at first that my rear was smashed... but I was surprised that the damage was confined only to the right rear bumper extension & some scratches to the body cladding.

Total estimate for the job? P17,144 - including the replacement of the bumper, repainting of the bumper & body cladding, and rustproofing.

ouch! good thing you're ok and the other party did not hit your ride's body. just the bumper...but a whopping 17 grand.

Damn! Good thing you're okay Mazda2. Like I always tell my buds, it's better to have a short ache on your pocket than to have a longer ache on your body. What kind of vehicle hit you?

buti nalang bumper lang..whew when u said 'smash' parang kasama rear door mo e..k lng yan may insurance naman e, di talaga maiwasan kahit defensive driving pa tau..

Malas talaga M2, good thing its a relatively small damage and good thing you were stepping on your brakes kundi sandwich ka. BTW, what car hit you? Looks like a taxi based on the damage

A Honda Accord hit me... butas ung bumper nya... may scrape yung headlamps & misaligned ng konti yung hood.

Medyo nakikipag negotiate pa kami ngayon kung paano is settle... sabi ko sa kanila bayaran na lang nila ang participation fee na P7,500.
