Angry Paint damage - College parking lots suck.

Aight, so I find a huge gash along my rear bumper this morning on the right rear under the tail light...it was all burnt rubber, but the thing was it cracked the paint underneath. Its not chipping but Im afraid it may.

Any idea on how long I have before my new Paint job starts looking like **** again?

Oh and does anyone knows what could have hit my car and left a huge 15 inch scrape on my rear bumper? Like it seriously was on the WHOLE bumper and appeared that something sheared it at a perpendicular angle. Monster Truck? A rolling heard of tires? Oprah's ***? God I dunno.

Dirtier we let our cars remain the less they get damaged by crap like this. We keep them looking good, every little thing happens. Be nice to push the alarm mode and it either STEALTHED the car, hehe, or at least made it look awfully dirty =)

no gooder. i hope you made her pay you back to the max. if you go to my school. than sit on the second floor that is looking towards the parking lot. you will see so many accidents. the funny thing is that all the faculty at my school knows about it. they just chill at the window and get a quick laugh lol.

I could go on all day...here are a few...

I saw two blondes driving down a one way isle head on at each other racing for a parking spot. They slammed into each other. Pretty funny stuff.

A kid one time completely side swipe a civic with his Acura TL. He tried backing up and actually did more damage to the car as he didnt pull off of it before putting it in reverse and fleeing. I snagged his plates and turned him in. Something about trashing a car bothers me.

I have this problem where fat girls like to sit on the hood of my car when its clean. My car must be hood rich. I tell ya though, you press that panic button and you'll never see a fat B**** run faster. That is also funny to watch.

Sorry to bring back this ancient thread.. I just got my first Lexus not too long ago and soon when I start back school(Community College) on Monday, I will be parking ALL the way in the back.

If you go to the back of parking lots, thats were many of the nice cars like ours are parked. And since there's other careful nice-car-drivers like us there, there's far less likely to be crashes.

I've been lucky, i've had many semesters of Community College and half a year of High School with no issues. Plus, my community college is in an area with a lot of unlicensed drivers and illegals so I feel ultra-lucky

At the cc I used to go to, there was a guy with a white es250 that I called mini me.
A jeeps brakes failed and rolled down the parking lot into his car.
