Off to the Body Shop for me....



Well, I'm off to the body shop as soon as I get the check from the Insurance company. Some idiot who can't park managed to hit my car, even though I was in the end spot with two wheels in the grass. Freeking idiots, don't even leave a note. Probably don't have insurance. I just put a big sign on the front door to my building that says: "Just because you don't care about your car doesn't mean I don't care about mine."

On the plus side, I get most of my paint job for free...

Dont lie.... You know you did that! LOL just ing I bough my car like that. Except it was the same dent on both sides. Well the old driver was a 4 foot tall woman. That should explain enough. True story! she was that small. I'm telling you I was glad when I got it. <font color=blue><i>Give me that car BATCH! after you went and smashed up the fenders you no driving 4 foot tall Nome! I'll treat the car right.</font><i>

Thanks for the support guys.

I filed a hit-and-run report with the cops, then we went looking around the parking lot for a white car with red paint on it. (there's a white scuff mark on the paint) We found a lot of beat-up white cars around here, so who knows?

I'm planning on getting the whole car re-sprayed anyway, as I have a typical Van Nuys paint job (peeling) I'm going to get rid of the 'fade' decals, as I've never heard of any good results with replacement ones. The guy who runs the Maaco around here is a ThirdGenner, and a fellow SCCA member, and his shop does really good work. Look for pics of the new paint job in a few weeks!

u think that's bad?

i parked my dad's car a couple of years at highschool.

i come back and i can't open the driver door, i'm like wtf! i look and there's a mega dent.

3 weeks later some student walks up to me and says he saw a teacher hit my car and then drive away and park somewhere else.

i never approached the teacher yet, my dad said don't worry about it :P

If a teacher did that to me...................

Let's just say they would be taking the bus until their insurance check gets in the mail
