Default Parking lot hit-and-run

Hit-and-runs **** me off. I mean, its okay if you hit my car, I understand accidents happen, but taking off and not assuming responsibility for a really minor incident? Burn in hell, you c*n*.

Damage could have been a lot worse, super thankful the offender didn't clip the rim or the headlight. At least this gives me initiative to go in and have the bumper resprayed (it was crappily resprayed prior to my purchase) and toss in the GFX kit I've always been eying. The silver lining on the cloud, oh the irony.



Just needed to rant, thanks for hearing me out.

Damn... that sucks. At least it wasn't rammed.

Side note, don't you guys hate it when there are multiple parking spots and you park a reasonable distance away with nobody around. However, when you come back some junker or SUV always decides to park beside you?

Damn man, sorry to hear that. Hope insurance takes care of you. It's never fun paying the deductible for something that wasn't your fault (been there)

Yeah happens at Walmart mostly!! Park the car in the back and some crap box parks next to you OR a shopping cart magically appears near your car when you get back.

My brother's car got hit and run at UCI a couple weeks ago. It's pretty bad too...bad enough that we are filing an insurance claim to get it fixed. Hopefully you got a pretty good insurance plan where you don't have to pay a ridiculous deductible to get it fixed.
