NO! Not the Mustang! Judging by how damn close she was to your car you got lucky she didn't scrape the entire left side front to back(thank God). She's full of & knows exactly what she did. Them mirrors make enough noise when they get knocked off. Hope it gets repaired asap & she pays you your $.
Yup, my Mustang! Bud, I was extremely lucky that the garage had security cameras and one was pointed directly at my car. So I used their video to find the proper time stamp. All I had to do was see who was too close. Not 30 minutes after we arrived it happened. Then I checked my dash cam. I can't post the video as it's a file that won't post (I snipped the clip) but the sound was unmistakable.
I sent the video and stills to the claims adjuster already. Going to call in the morning to see how receptive they are to doing something for diminished value now that the car will have a Carfax blemish. We'll see.
On the positive side, mirror was only $75 for the whole thing and I put it on myself. The cover was an aftermarket that isn't available anymore so it had to be repainted. That should be about the same. Since my car was parked and unoccupied, my deductible was only $100. So I'll get it all back. But it's the diminished value I want. Not a lot but something. Had she not run and just exchanged info I would have not called the police. But her actions made me do that. So we'll see what her company says to my request.
But yeah, short version, she's full of it! And I have NO FREAKING CLUE how she didn't do more damage. Could have taken off the entire side of my car. Then I would have been LIT! And she's dang lucky she didn't hit my friends M2 in front. That mirror is a hell of a lot more money!
