Default So it happened again.

St. Patrick's Day weekend hit and run...brought to you by some drunk !@#$%

Swept the whole driver side from the fender, mirror, door, skirts, rear quarter panel, both rims, rear bumper and rear lip.
Also the rear rim looks like it's pushed inward.
Check out the chunk the !@#$% took out on the rear rim.

Sorry about that man...

Someone should invent auto detonation in cars and make it mandatory.. when you hit someone it generates an encrypted key sent to the car that you hit. The victim must enter that same code and send it back to the would be hit-and-run driver to prevent his car from getting exploded. If explosions and removing a few asshats from earth is too extreme, then perform and ignition kill/lock down. They won't be able to drive the car unless the victim signs off with the ecrypted key.

Thanks for the comments guys. AAA is pretty awesome. Made a call today and I already dropped the car off and picked up a "luxurious" Dodge Avenger as a rental! I'll be MIA for a few weeks

Where did this happen at? Looks like your whole left side of the car needs to be repainted. Ouch.

Terrible news. St. Patricks Day is crazy, it's like everyone has to drink and drive on this day.

Any chance there was a witness or you or someone saw who did it? Where did this happen? Know the total cost of damage?

Hopefully insurance takes care of you.
