People suck.....1 year almost to the day my car is back on the road after a very long rebuild restore and my wife and I go to get some dinner and today I go to the garage and find that Thursday night some asshole hit my car. Dented the bumper and pushed it back to chip the fenders.......

Man so sorry to hear that......My heart sank just seeing and reading your post......

Of course they couldn't leave a note, stop back by to own up to it......Pricks....

Wish there was something I could do to help.....
 
Happens everywhere. I work at a police department and someone put a nice ding in the door of my new truck last Friday and whoever did it never fessed up. People suck in general.
 
I just got the Plymouth on the road after 8 long years. Im afraid to drive it some times because of ******** on the road. Forget about leaving it unattended.
I wont buy a new car for exactly what happened to you.
Thats a lot of damage there and I'm really sorry for you.
Not that its related but I went to small store today, the kind of place you pull up to. I park and when I come out there is a guy blocking me.
No big deal as this is the city. So I get in start the car and. the guy is still looking down, maybe playing with a phone. I back up, stop, hit the horn, he looks up and then looks down again. Now im annoyed, I back up stop about a foot from his car and throw my car into park and am getting out.
He moves and I pull out. This is the scumbag mentality you deal with.

That's why I generally drive junk......you could hit my pick up with a hammer and be hard pressed to see a mark, but spend half a years pay to make something nice and it becomes a shithead magnet

I know what you mean and your right. Sorry that happened to you. Fact is People suck we now live in the "ME" society. In today's world though maybe there were some camera's that got the car that hit you on film. Worth a try to contact the restaurant or other business's in that lot. I bought a new truck a few years ago and park way out in parking lots and it always pisses me off when I come out and see 100 other spaces some asshole in a $5 vehicle right up against me.
 
That is a shame, but don't let that stop you. Look on the bright side, you won't be worrying for months about suffering your first scratch.

Any vehicle put on the highway (or parked in public) will sooner or later suffer body damage. Should be included in the phrase "Only Two Sure Things in Life, Death & Taxes."
 
@yella71 , that sucks
takes all types doesn't it ?
no note or nothing I assume

but on the bright side, it's an easy enough fix

chalk it up to **** happens
hope the next time, it won't

gotta' get them out & drive them
or they are just garage or trailer queens

can't be a scaredy cat (pussy like some are)
& too afraid to ever take them out
what's the fun in that ?
 
quite a few years ago.. I actually watched a guy ram his door into my 65 Monaco. he never even attempted to look down to look at the damaged caused.. so after I was done at the DMV counter I went out back towards my car and used both feet to cave in his cars quarter panel.. it looked well done.. :D
 
Thanks everyone...it's my friends place and there are no outside cameras....and it's not the first scratch but the bumper is done .

The Bumper can be fixed.. but I know its the ignorance of people that cant respect other peoples stuff..
 
I backed into a parked car once and there was no one around. I called the Cops and they did a report, made sure the owner got my insurance, etc. You should never run from your mistakes. Deal with it.
 
that sucks. but don't let that keep you from enjoying your car. we all only have so many heartbeats. and we can loose them even when they are safely tucked in for the night.

Yep, gotta drive 'em. No trailer on this property. :)
That said, I'm sure most folks do what I do as well, namely try to minimize the chances of a garden variety knuckle-dragging, disrespectful sub-human even getting the chance to do 'em harm, too.
I can't even imagine having to leave mine parked among the masses unattended, like with apartment/townhouse/garage parking, for example.
Oh hell no...
Sadly, there are even those among us out there that will intentionally do this sort of harm, simply because they don't have anything as nice, too.
Asspluggers...

We take the GTX all over, but admittedly we're in a less populated region.
Folks are more apt to be a tad more respectful of others' property around here - but not all of 'em are that way.
When parking at stores, restaurants and such, I do the usual parking away from others/defensive parking bit. If I can see the car from where we sit for dinner, all the better.
Wouldn't be the first time I magically appeared right behind someone in the parking lot who decided to get a little toooo close to the car while we're eating. :)
When we take it grocery shopping (weekly occurance in warmer months), I try to find one of those spots that has a painted island sort of deal right next to it and utilize it to cheat a bit to that side, moving the car further away from the next spot.
I want one of those front spots like that, so I can catty-corner park it.
The car being right in front of the store seems to discourage shenanigans itself, too - people know they're in plain view of all (and usually on camera, too).

One of the main reasons I moved to the side of a ridge, not middle of nowhere (but I can see nowhere from here :) ) was to keep my shiyat away from being tempting to the massholes in society.
That (and a reputation locally for being a very 2A proponent) makes the GTX as safe as I can make it.

I can relate to people suck, especially in NJ. My business is in North Jersey, Hudson County. It's the concrete jungle, highest population density in the country, and they're mostly ********. I would never drive my Satellite down there. I drive a 14 year old pickup truck with 190k+ miles on it. They wanna hit me, I have a serious set of push bars in the front !!!!! :icon_fU: them !!!!
 
That sucks,I had a neighbor,get the delivery of my $1200.00 Hemi TTI headers,and put them on Craigslist for sale,instead of bringing them across the street! People suck,but I had the last laugh on him,when I told his wife what he did,and showed her the ad from their IP address! She threw his computer out the window! lol!
 
I drive mine regularly to work and such during the summer. pretty much everything is brand new except the paint, for that reason. I know the day after I put paint on it , some asshole will come along and damage something.
