That sucks. All you need is a new rear bumper and hopefully that's it.

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that people in large SUV's are horrible drivers? Most accidents I see are caused by an Escalade or something like that.

That sucks, but I wish there were more honorable people in the world like that.

Kira, how right you are!

I don't know if it's the fact that they're up so high they forget about us down low, or if they just think they can do anything because they drive a tank. I have similar issues with Prius owners, who seem to mess up traffic in their quest for the best MPG.

Move over and drive your snotbox in the right-hand lane! I don't care about your gas mileage, and you certainly don't have the right to interfere with everyone else's day.

<AHEM> Sorry, climbing down off my soapbox now.

I thought I was the only one that noticed those Prius drivers "camp" in the fast lane and refuse to get out of the way..... Glad someone else feels the same way ......

Interestingly enough, the store closer a few years ago and I heard last year that another Kroger in metro Atlanta had an armored car robbery. And guess what? No working cameras/malfunctioning system- can we say lawsuit, boys and girls?

Good Luck, Rachel. We're all counting on you. (Sorry, couldn't resist).
Awww. That really sucks. Sorry to hear that. I think most businesses should have cameras... It's only for their protection! Also, Thank you!

Can you file an insurance claim for small rock chips too? Ask your company if they pay out $50 per chip.... lol
Lol, I'm looking into it

Yeppp!

This is very easy, you buy a used bumper, you install it and you get it painted for no more then $200.00.
Thats the plan *****!

its always good to find that note.
One time I walked out to my camry I parked literally 15 minutes earlier in front of my building and I could see from like 50 yards away that my hood was smashed into a giant triangle and pointing straight up into the air, front end basically wrecked.
As I got closer and closer the more I couldnt believe the damage someone did from just parallel parking..

and then I find a pink sticker on my window with a sad face drawn on it and underneath it said:
"sorry I hit your car" and a phone number... (like i didn't know someone hit my car)
She admitted later she thought she was in drive and gunned it, but she was really in reverse
so yeah, im glad I found the pink note with the frowny face

RmMarx, I got a chuckle when I read your responses in list form. But it just goes to remind me what an awesome community we have here.

^ Or park within your eyes limit if possible. Even though my part of the factory where I work has parking for management I park alongside the other factory workers since I can gaze, I mean check up, on my car while I slave away behind the computer.

Hey, at least it turned out to be a semi positive thing, right?

Exactly. Makes you believe in Car-Ma, doesn't it?

I'm punchy again, the SELOC meet is 2.5 hours and counting! Will post pics of all the SCs, according to the list we're expecting quite a few!
