I was thinking the same thing. I had an early meeting this morning and couldn't make it to that Dunkin Donuts but I wanted to bad. I know the vehicle was black. My paint would have been easy to spot but now it's the weekend and I may have missed my chance to check all the bumpers. I'm still gonna look Monday morning....just in case. The culprit probably never washes their car.

so was it a hit and run situation?? I would call the cops.

I remember once when I parked my car in a lot then came out to get something and was shocked top find that someone had pulled their car so far forward that there bumper was sitting on top of mine ( my G35 was dropped ). I was going to go ape **** and do something to her car but I ended up leaving a note for her to call me. NO call for 3 hours so I went to check the car and she had left and taken off all of the pain off the top of my rear bumper. I called the cops and they told me that the car was registered to a 60 yr old woman. It was hit and run but the cop said " do you really want a 60 year old woman arrested for hit and run"...... My response was HELL YEAH. Then I thought about my mom and told the cop to leave it alone. I was so pissed off but I kept thinking of someone having my mom put in jail

If I knew who did it I would call the cops. Heck, years ago I called the cops on a lady who just opened the door on my car. She gave me $100 for paintless dent repair and it worked out. She also tried to give me some nookie but I don't cheat on my wife.
It looks a lot better now that I waxed the area and used some touch up paint. I will get it repainted when I make time to take it to the shop. Check the pics I posted tody. You can't see it unless you get up close. Only us car guys will notice it.

Wow reggie the nerve of some people.. People are just oblivious to life and have no clue what they are doing nor care if they hit someone elses vehicle.. Probably an old betty swinging the car door open with the force of a mac truck. You know the seniors have to get to DD for there donut and coffee..

Naw, no old biddies or bitties at this DD. I go there everyday and it's just people trying to get their morning fix before work.
It's a scrape, not a door opening ding.....the length of the quarter panel. If I find out who did it there will be a scene.
