Ugh! Hit and Run

So I went to SJ with the girlfriend this evening to do some errands and left my car in the parking lot of my employment, only to get a call from one of my co-workers that somebody hit my car and took off out of the parking lot. Looks like I will need a new bumper and hood will need to be repainted. Gonna get an estimate on Saturday!!

What you need to do is get a set of big ol interogation lamps and a posse and start up on everyone one by one, itll take a while but youll get much more pleasure out of it then a regular work day...start with the guy who called you who was conveniently there to see it...and your boss in a close second...if all else fails...use this as a chance to get a wicked bumper

Yeah I'm looking into a new bumper, but as far as the interrogation of the boss- doesn't help since I am the boss!

Unfortunately not, but one of my assistants saw the car as it sped off! Not much will come of it though since she couldn't get a license plate #!

No man, I sold that Brabus bumper to Richard. I just have the OEM bumper back on since I was originally intending to sell the car but then decided to keep it. Looks like I will be getting a new one now!

Then look for the guy who thinks he can do your job better than you.

Brabus is pretty nice, but if you already have Carlsson why not just go Carlsson all around. CF Hood would be bad ***.

Sucks to hear the bad news Greg, but maybe someone was trying to hint that your OEM front doesn't go well with the Carlsson skirts and Expression rear. Sounds like the perfect excuse to finally get a new bumper, bro.

What's the damage to Vadim's bumper. Dunno what bumper I will get, gonna meet with the claims adjuster on Friday. Got an estimate for the car and it's over $2500, and the bumper will be replaced.
