With the Squareback, I offered to settle for cash at the side of the road, but he remembered he'd have to fix his own car too, and so he called in the insurance company.
Back in the 1980s I was driving up South Willamette and passed a girl waving a Car Wash sign (and doing it quite well) at a stop light. The kid behind me saw 'the sign' but not the stop light and hit my rear bumper. There was a police officer sitting at the light to see the whole thing. Since it was his first accident, I offered to settle for a new $17 Beetle bumper. When he showed up with it, he had a parent in tow wanting to know why I was scamming their kid.
