My Camaro got hit today...
My Camaro got hit today. I parked it in front of my house while I was working on Randy's. In hindsight it turns out I didn't need to move it out of the garage at all. When I went to put it back in the garage I see a nice big black rub mark on the entire drivers side front corner! It will likely rub out. I have no idea who or when it happened. But it wasn't on there when I parked it. Lon

Ouch!
Sorry to hear about your RS being hit! Especially since it happened while you were doing me a favor I hope that it does buff right out, let me know if you think you could use some help with it

Ack Im sorry Lon, someone did that to my car too.. except they actually scraped pant OFF my nose. If I hadn't parked backwards they probably wouldn't have hit me. I know it was some girl backing her toyota out beside me... I always get scared when women back out of spaces and almost hit everything around them.

Has it come out Lon , that's is %$@#ed up! I had a similar situation when my red car was running. I would park it on the street of my ex-coworkers house (we commuted to Edwards AFB) while I went to work. Well at 10am at work I received a call from his wife, my car got hit and she saw it all. The driver didn't even stop, just left. She called the cops and they filed out a report and called me at work. Apperantly a neighbor, four houses down, was argueing with her kids in her Sentra and nailed the rear of my Z28 , luckily it was at 25 mph. The cops said my car wasn't really damaged, but hers was barely driveable. When I got back to my car (after work), it just had some black rub stain (came off easily) and a minor, but deep scratch.

I posted this on another site and got back a response "It sounds like a tire rub mark...". This morning I woke up recalling how this happened. Saturday at the track we all headed out of the pits for our last run. I pulled forward, but couldn't see if it was clear in front of me or not. I hit a pair of tires sitting in the pits with my front end. I don't know why I hadn't noticed it before yesterday. But I feel a lot better now. Knowing it was self-inflicted makes it all the better. As I said before I don't think there is any permanent damage. But the other corner of the nose is in need or repair still so no biggie. Boy do I feel dumb, but the mystery is solved! Lon
