Default Ahh! (car help)

Well, just a few weeks ago, beginning of July, less than a month before my 18th birthday on the 24th, just after washing and waxing the bonne and almost having it complted, some psycho decided to intentionally swerve and knock me and my baby off the road..broke underlighting, couldnt have been too good for the tires, bent things underneath the car, scratched the side of my car, knicked the front driver'* rim, and knocked the driver'* side mirror off, blew an amp, front speaker, and a 6x9 due to cords being ripped loose from sliding...the liscense plates were 923 NDT and it'* a small early 90'* pinkish ford escort. If you ever happen to see him feel free to seek revenge for a fellow bonne owner. Anyway, point is, I need a car to drive while I go back to trying to complete my ride..

Does anyone know a good place to look for some cheap cars, like $300 top price for a car thats still in good running condition. Some people just happen to have the hook up to get some cheap cars that will still run for a year or two at least or more if kept well. Thanks for the help.

Did they actually hit your car?

Regardless you should have reported this to the police right away, and probably still should report it.

Turn it into your insurance agent, and they will usually pay for a rental.

Do you have uninsured motorists coverage? This may cover it and may not raise your rates but I'll leave it to those in insurane to let you know for sure.

Don't take the law into your own hands, that'* not what I'm saying.

Take your information to someone higher up, a political figure (mayor) or something in your town.

Or just give the info to your insurance agency and tell them you provided it to the police but the police did nothing. I'm sure your insurance agency would be glad to help.
