Default NOT an accident

I'm so depressed, I can't even rant about how pissed off I am. I guess it's my fault, but just to let you guys know, I got this while I was parked.

Ahh. Maybe you can claim it on your insurance. Check your coverages. I had something like that happen to me and because it was not a collision I had a 0 dollar deductable. Had it fixed for free.

Maybe he was thinking "man...I shoulda parked at the back of the parking lot where nobody else parks"

BUT........

I don't know why but whenever I do that, some old piece of crap s*%#box is always parked next to me when I come back out. I'm just thinking, WTF theres 300 other free parking spaces and they just happen to park next to me lol.

Ahhhh man that hurts to look at. I hope you can get it fixed for free.
Every time I was my GS I find atleast one new "man made" scratch.

Yea me too. Just last week I went to the movies and I parked in the back lot where there are no cars. I come out when the movie is over and the lot is still empty except for a big *** white suburban parked a foot away from my car. Then I inspected the side of my car for any damage . Luckily there was none .

Chuck's right. That plastic moulding/cladding comes prepainted, and you can install it yourself. I believe the piece costs around $350 or so. Call Darrel at Sewell Lexus for a price.
