Angry My car gets RE-OWNED!!!

Guys,

So I get my car back on Thursday evening and am very happy. Last night, Friday, I decide to go take some pictures of the car. Here is one



So, then I decide to go have a beer with one of my boys. I have 2 beers and decide to go home. As I am walking to my car I notice a business card tucked under my wiper. It says "backed into your car - call me."

Firstly I think it is just one of my friends playing a joke on me. Then I go to the back of the car and







When are my going to catch a break!!! This sucks. I am getting ready to call him. I am just thankful that he left a note!

Peace,
Jonny

Yeah. Be cool with the guy. I'd say the majority of people would have just taken off.

Ouch. Holy crap Jonny! Your luck has to turn around soon bro. Keep your head up.

I'm so surprised he left you a note, this never happens in NYC. Guess your car is going to the body shop again, you seem to have bad luck with SC's but don't sweat it. The car will come back looking new again.

Thx guys,

I called the guy about 7 hours ago and left messages at his house and his cellphone. For all I know someone just left his card there because people saw it happen.

It's funny - I parked right outside the front door away from all the other cars so stuff like this wouldn't happen Also, looks like I had some hater put a 6 inch scratch down my drivers door.

What is wrong with people these days ?

I am going to go easy on the guy - you don't need to remind me. I have been screwed over before and I wouldn't do that to someone. I will make it as easy on him as possible.

He was probably drunk!!

Jonny

sorry to hear that jonny. i guess its safe to say that if you changed your screen name to OWNED!, we would all know who you were. all jokes aside though, you did luck out with the contact info. you should just come down here to orlando, where we all look before we drive into something. hope it doesnt take as long to fix this time.

Sometimes i feel like its a hassel to have a nice car. Happen to me too, but mine happen when i was at work. One of our customer backed into the front of my car (car was parked rear first). Lucky she came into the store to admit quilt. We met up the next day at starbucks and had our long convo (bout other stuff) and she gave me a lil more than needed to fix the car. I swear i could of asked her for triple and i think she would of gave it to me, but since she was an honest person I didn't want to take advantage of her. So hopefully yours will turn out the same. Just the hassle was getting the car to the shop cuz i needed the car everyday. Cuz of people like her, i feel bad when i'm not honest, so i try to be as much as i can
