Default Messed up!!!

Yesterday I got off work about 9pm. It was gettin dark so just hopped and noticed that my driverside mirror was bumped, Didn't think much of it then i noticed that my window wouldn't roll all the way up, I'm thinking WTF!!! So i reach the bbq eat, drink, bs with the family and drive home......Mind that it is 11pm now so i didn't look at my car, got home and as i turn around to admire my car before i get in the house i notice that there is a huge as$ dent from the front fender to the back!!! I'm F-ing pissed some hick **** hit my car!!! maybe not a hick but some bastard!!! so i have this huge dent running the side of my car, This sucks a$$!!! I did notice a larger delivery-truck like vehicle next to my car at lunch, I doubt my workplace has surveillance and there are two freakin bars near my work..... F***

Wow that sucks! I always do a walk-around on my car before I get in it. Make sure no keymarks, scratches, or dents.

I hope you get it fixed soon. Although you probably won't be able to find who did it, I wish you luck on doing so!

Sorry to hear about that man. Really blows. Hopefully your insurance will cover that and maybe you can do some PI work to find out who did it. Good luck.

All I can say is OUCH! Man, that is really bad. It looks like someone driving like a pick up truck with the tailgate down pull out next to you and cut it too sharp and just gouged the side. I would be really pissed about that.

People cannot seriously drive. It hurts just to see the damage. I wonder if the driver heard, felt, or knew that he scraped and dented the ***** out of your car. When I had my Honda maybe 6 years ago, this guy backed his huge Ford F-250 into my driver's side front panel while backing out of his driveway. My car was parked accross the street because I was at my friend's house. I came out later and saw the damage and was so pissed! Then I saw that he had left a note underneath the wiper explaining what had happened. He left me with his name and number and said he would pay for the damage after I got an estimate from an auto body shop. I told him that I very much appreciated his honesty. I only had LIABILITY coverage! I wish there were more honest people like him in the world.
