try not to kick yourself too much.
My lifetime fender-bender tally is: 1 Mercedes and 2 Porsches.

I so wish I was trolling

he brought his bobcat so he was pulling his trailer. he parked in front of my house but was a little overlapping into my driveway. I wanted to move my van in case he needed to access my backyard. and as I backed up, it's like second nature just took over and I backed up like I always do. didn't even realize how close I was until I hit his truck right on the passenger side right corner of the truck. good thing his headlight didn't break. my bumper is damaged and part of the light broke

now he says his car is leaking water and you can't see it but when you examine closer his bumper is shifted slightly. you can't see it until you look at the screws. it's a good thing his truck is big, could've been worse.

no, totally not his fault. it was all me.

i'm hoping if nothing is damaged he should just let it go and maybe i'll give him a tip after he's done with the landscaping. even though it goes against my moral grain. nah just kidding

but yea, if we find out something is damaged i'll just let my insurance deal with it

sumo, take pics of everything so any insurance claim can't be exaggerated to cover other needed repairs.
