The other day I get out of my car and go around to pump the gas at the station. On the passenger side, just below the fuel tank input,I noticed a 4 inch long scratch/dent just below and the the right of the wheel well. :mad:
Now my car is only a year old and I’ve taken fairly good care of it (if you don’t count my little ‘accident’ back in Dec).I keep it clean. I don’t throw food wrappers on the floor or anything. I wash it from time to time to keep her looking brand new and along comes a fucktard who HITS my car and doesn’t even bother to leave a note saying they are sorry.:mad:
If I hit somebody’s car (which I did once in my old Buick),I would sure as hell leave a note, even if I had to write it on the back of a tampon wrapper or something.
Guin–that was in HS.I did stupid things as a youngster and YES I sort of mind a smallish dent. This is the first new car I’ve ever had and I was trying to keep it looking as new as possible.
It IS a small dent but still…I wouldn’t be half as upset if they’d left a note.
IDBB
Somebody hit my car the other morning right outside my house!
Not a four incher either.
My driverside door was caved in pretty good.
It happened while we were all in a deep sleep and nobody heard it.
I mean they really nailed it a good one.
No note no nothing.
I just got my van back after it being down for a year and a half with no transmission only to have it die again three days later when the water pump went out taking out the timming chain with it. $2000 put in to it only to have it hit?!
We got the door pulled out a bit but there are still little dents and white paint streaks and spots of chipped areas left.
I live on a main street. Actually I live on Main St.
Seriously it is a decently busy street between the junior high and the high school and down a bit from a few bars. And a main bus route.
Could have been hit by anyone from a student to a drunk driver.
Maybe student since we aren’t sure when it was hit. Any time between 1am the last time I drove and 7am when I take the heathens to school.
My husband has had his new car less than a year, and he’s been hit three times! (Not counting the rock that hit his windshield…) We’re becoming convinced that the vehicle is cursed. Unfortunately, we’re WAY too upside-down on the loan to trade it in, and the dents only make that worse.
He got the info from the woman who hit him from behind and broke his left taillight lens. He replaced it and was going to send the bill to her. He forgot to send it… grrrrrrrr The other hits happened when the car was parked and will come out of our pocket when/if we get around to repairing them. I’ve suggested he make an effore to park under something heavy that looks ready to fall. :eek: If it’s cursed, let’s let the curse do the job right!
Gah. You know what? I just looked at that post this morning-and that was really, REALLY snarky and uncalled for. (I really should learn to THINK first).
So I appologize. However, it is possible the dent was caused by say, someone hitting the car with their door?
I did that once to my uncle’s rental car. :o And I didn’t tell him.
It’s entirely possible that somebody hit it with their car door,Guin,since it was parked in a mall parking lot when this happened (I think…either that or the library.I don’t go too many places in Luna Solaris.Yes…that’s her name.YES I name my cars.:D).Besides…I didn’t realize how SNARKY your comment was until this morning.I posted that late at night when I wasn’t too awake and when I read your comment I didn’t think too much about it.You’re forgiven.Just don’t let it happen again.
CG said not to worry too much about it and when we can afford to have it fixed, we’ll get it fixed along with the HUGE ass dent/chipped paint in the hatch of his 2002 PT Cruiser that was caused by a shopping cart hitting it in the parking lot of his workplace.
My across the street neighbor, a crazy family that you don’t look crosseyed at, lest they sue you for… whatever, backed into my car, left a decent sized dent in the bumper, broke my running light and headlight and… of course didn’t leave a note. This was about 2 months ago. I’m still pissed. I’m pretty sure it was their older (drunk/drug addict/slutwhore) daughter, who was home for the weekend, because none of the other cars have any paint marks on them. My car is black and the damage was bad enough that it’d leave paint marks on the bumper of the car that hit me.
The best part is, it had snowed, and the tire tracks from their driveway to my car were perfectly visible! I never did get to confront them about it because I moved out, and the police (I filed a police report, figured let them handle it rather than me, I had to live next to these people) never did a thing about it. So now I have a mashed in right front fender and broken headlight.
Dread Pirate Jimbo and I had this happen to his car the day we were going to take it to his parents (they had bought the car from us). Someone on our street backed into it and caved in the left rear panel from fender to door. Jim’s parents are saints and knew that we couldn’t afford to get it fixed (Jim just having lost his job and us two weeks away from our wedding), so they paid the deductible to have it fixed ($2000 worth of damage!!!). The real pisser here (other than the walking phlegm-ball that hit the car and didn’t leave a note) - the car was due to go to them two days earlier, but we didn’t take it due to bad weather. I think Fate loves this kind of thing.
A couple of years ago, I was doing a burrito run before a party with some friends, and managed to, while parking, sideswipe a brand-new Beamer. Holy shit! I thought, as I heard the horrible grinding noise of our cars, and Oh, Fuckfuckfuck! I thought, when I got out and saw the golf-ball-sized dent I’d left in his car (mine was just scraped up some). It’s not like I’m rolling in the cash, here, and why couldn’t I have sideswiped somebody’s 1967 station wagon instead of a 2000 BMW?
I thought about all the stories I’ve heard of leaving a note that says, “The people watching me think I’m leaving my name and number, but I’m not.” But that’d suck ass, so I left the guy my contact information, dreading the call later that night from an irate yuppie.
He turned out to be super-nice about the whole thing, though. In fact, he thanked me repeatedly for leaving a note: it really seemed to surprise him that I’d done so. And while it cost some $1200 to fix his car, my insurance covered the whole thing without raising my rates (apparently, you get a “first one’s free” deal).
The whole thing scared the hell out of me, but it worked out fine in the end.
I_Dig_Bad_Boys sorry 'bout that dent. Ironically it was probably some form of “bad boy” who did it. Maybe it should be I_Dig_Bad_Drivers_Who_Leave_Notes.
FWIW: normally you don’t use the sig more then once in the same thread, especially one as large as yours.
Sigs should be NO LONGER than 4 lines. This INCLUDES empty lines.
Use sigs ONLY once per thread.
Administrators have the option to alter or remove sigs altogether.
** I_Dig_Bad_Boys ** and ** Kricket **, I expect both of you to trim your sigs, and refrain from using them more than once per thread. If you don’t trim your sigs, I will.
Yeeks!I didn’t know I was in violation of a sig code.
I dost apologize profusesly,Lynn.
I swear I will never use it more than once per thread ever again.
I have two dents in my truck from a lazy witch who thought walking the twenty feet to put the shopping cart in the little shopping cart holder area was too much effort. (What the hell do they call that cart holder place anyway?) It was like in slow motion watching her load her bags into her trunk, turn and shove the cart across the nearly empty parking lot. She actually stood there and watched it hit my truck, bounce and hit it again leaving a smaller dent and a scratch. When I walked up to her and asked how she intended to pay for it she didn’t even respond just climbed in and drove away. The look on her face as I pulled into her driveway, with my neighbor in his police car behind me, after following her home was only surpassed by the anger on her face when she wrote the payment check in small claims court. Thank the heavens the store had security cameras in the parking lot.
