That really sucks and my damage was nothing compared to yours. I hope you catch the punk that did it. It's odd though that your accident happended when you parked it on the street for the first time. For me it was the first time I decided to drive my buddies around since they were complaining i never drove. Keep us posted on the repairs.

I'll verify with my insurance company to be certain, but I'm pretty sure that a parked car hit by a moving car still falls under collision coverage. Comprehensive would come into play if I was hit by an animal, foreign object, hail, etc.

I would love nothing more than to play part-time P.I. and try and find this dolt, but between work and kids, I barely have enough time to handle what's already on my plate. I'm at the cops mercy in pursuing this, unfortunately.

That sucks man. My SC got hit the same exact way in front of my house too. Sucks because mine was hit during the day some time between a 4 hours period where my car was parked and I had went with a few friends. My damage was no where near the extent of those shown on here, but still pissed me off no less.

Will do, but I checked my policy last night and my comprehensive deductible is $2,000 as well, so either way I'll be forking that out.

Very sorry to see this. I find this type of "hit and run" to be abhorrent, erroneous, and unprofessional. Just plain ludicrous.
I am curious however - why is your deductible so high?? $2,000 can leave you in a cantankerous position for most incidents.
If you'd like to borrow a car, let me know. I'll have it shipped.
Cheers.

Also, I just spoke to NJM (ins. co.) - a parked car getting hit by a moving car falls under collision.

CHEAP??? This car ain't cheap for me, maybe to Wid IS350! LOL. It's been a few years since I've even looked at the auto policy, but I'm sure that when I first initiated the policy way back, I just quickly went thru and checked off all the highest deductibles. Should probably go back and revisit some of these deductibles and coverage levels.
