Horrible Mazda 3? It's only the most reliable and safe consumer car on the market--- beating that of the Toyota cars. I don't think you know anything about that car
And not to show off or anything, but the car was worth $25,000 --- not $15,000.
Quote: "can you imagine if the old guy hadnt had good insurance?"
Well, in my province we have this company called ICBC and they're the only company we're allowed to get car insurance through. It's a monopoly and everyone knows it, but at least everyone has coverage.

Yeah, the man told me he would just pay for the damages if it was less than $500. After a few quotes said otherwise, we agreed to go through the insurance company.
EDIT 2:
Quote: " Care to elaborate on the accident itself?
Just from where the damage is, the only way I can see it not being a 'knock-for-knock' is if you weren't in the car."
I assume that 'knock-for-knock' means both of our fault. Actually I turned right onto the road, and the old guy turned left onto the road so he was in the left and I was in the right lane--- our lanes formed next to each other (if you know what I mean). As soon as our lanes were side by side, he instantly changed lanes into my lane without even checking if anyone was there (I was there). His explanation was he thought I had a Yield sign, so I should have been watching out for him--- but there's no sign because it's 2 separate lanes. My lane didn't merge into his or anything--- it was my own!
