Wow I would die..Your car is too pretty to be parked among crappy cars. The garage I park at has columns between each car, so my baby is safe. Usually, folks who park at parking lots tend to come back. Just look out for a white car with black streaks, and you have your perp.

Sucks that people aren't more considerate...but not shocking that no one owned up to causing the damage.

Hope the paint buffs out with some polish.

Yesterday I walked out of the grocery store (parked 4 spaces from every car) and what do I see? A ****ing shopping cart inches a way from the sc's fender (the lot is on a hill) so i'm sure some asshat just left the cart not putting it back in the cart things. It drifted down and banged into the SC and rolled back a little when it bounced off the SC , it was dark out and my fender does have a couple minor scratches on my fender but i'm pretty sure the damn thing rammed it. I mean it was facing it inches away what else could of happened but I was so pissed and so helpless errrr. I do my best for the SC and always park it from other cars and still these ****ing idiots in the world are so careless of others property because their too lazy. I was cussing for about 10 minutes on the way home, I CARE alot about the SC and it is my baby. But I def. could not have like a super expensive brand new car and have it as my DD after stuff like this happening from others ignorance, I see why people leave their expensive cars as 'weekend cars / garage queens' ! Sorry for going off topic, I know it isn't as bad as your GS but if people weren't so careless of others properties and maybe took a look around and used common sense stuff wouldn't happen like this. I know how you feel Pissed Off, Upset about the car and nobody to take it out on and very very helpless err.

No problem when it's not crowded, but during the busy holiday season, not a good idea. I just try and avoid parking next to SUVs and two door coupes...damn Thunderbirds

Tomorrow you should check out the white cars in the lot to see who has a jacked up front bumper. They'd be stupid to drive the same car back to work if they have two cars at their disposal but you never know.

Good luck finding the culprit. It pisses me off when I hear about stuff like that because it happened to my car a few years ago.
