For anyones curiosity and if anyone is out their looking at buying one of these cars, the impact did not at all enter the cockpit, and the vehicle entirely absorbed the force of the impact, i hardly felt the impact aside from the whole car rearing up and off of the ground and later realizing i could see the ground past my car door. Point is these are very safe cars for their size and caliber. I am very pleased with the fact that while it would've been a scary experiences for a passenger if one was riding with me but i am able to sleep better at night knowing if someone was they would be entirely safe.

seriously? you were moving slowly through parking lot... let's see what happens at a 70mph + impact.

:troll:

hoping for the best for you B_J, but the fact is nobody here knows what happened in that parking lot. It's really wonderful that everyone on our boxster forum is giving you the benefit of the doubt, I wouldn't expect any less.

As far as I know you could have been trying to accelerate past him to show your car off a little. who knows?

I'm hoping it turns out you weren't acting irresponsibly. good luck bro

Yeah i get the joys of riding a bus with the kid to an off campus learing center for carrer training where some of our classes are at ( I take buisness, ironically i think the kid is in auto repair) But i am already packing a recording device for tomorrow to catch anything that comes out of this kids mouth :ah: It is a shame respect can not get you far in life, i had not even mentioned the other kids name when asked about the accident saying it was likely an honest mistake and that the other party was at fault and leave it at that, and i will remain quiet and respectful but i will be bringing a recording device along on this bus tomorrow.

Best check to see if your state is single consent or dual consent before you fire up that voice recorder. Otherwise it could land you in some fiery water.

School got involved today, in my favor, they are tired of the other kid saying things . Talk of the other kid wanting to sue, I really don't see what leg he has to stand on. His parents do bail bonds as a job so while we have connections with lawyers and such I am sure they do too, but as I said I don't see what they can do that doesn't just incriminate themselves further.

I'm not sure how insurance works in Texas (no fault) but here if you pull out of a parking spot and rear end someone it's a given that it's your fault entirely.

But definitely get a lawyer to deal with your insurance company since its also the other side's insurance company.
Make sure they have it as 100% the other guy's fault because at your age you don't want any of that blame.
Once you get your check I'd consider a new insurance compay because I have feeling that your insurance will msyteriously go up.

The insurance claims that they have to pay out either way so they do not really care, but yeah i am pretty upset with the situation, and we are still undecided on a lawyer, at the time we are in relations with the police chief or something asking for a better report from the officer or something more detailed.
