So pissed...
Some A$$hole... backup into me at the gas station then dint see anything so drove off... got his license number...my uncle ran it for me(hes a cop) there was not damage... just a little gray line along the left end of the bumper, where the bumper kinda folds for a design.... Touch up would take it right out id assume... any suggestions guys?
I was sooooo ****... just cursing everywhere.... but i figured it could have been worse...
On top of all this... 10 mins b4 i was on the belt parkway in queens ny and a cop pulls me over for doing 70 in 55... $150 bucks..
If anyone needs me, i'll be asleep just to assure me no more bad **** happen.
Be safe out there guys!!!

I feel your pain... a month and 10 days after I got my car, some idiot made a left turn into my car on a wide open, empty 4-lane street as I went through a green light, effectively destroying the whole "new car" feeling with consequent repairs. I couldn't believe it either.
Isn't life grand?
Hopefully your car can be buffed/cleaned/shined right back to perfection.
Idiots are everywhere. Only the paranoid survive.

Go to your service adviser and ask who does their back-lot touch ups, what day, and such. You should be able to make a deal with that guy for a quick touch up that'll look good and keep looking good.

That sucks, but it definitely could be worse.
5 months in, I was rear ended on the highway, resulting in 15K worth of damage, and it took 7 weeks to repair. And the insurance company provided me with a lovely Ford Focus at a charge of about $8/day.

I thought they should've paid me to ride that thing. But I abused the hell out of it, so it's okay, I guess.

LOADED 08' C350 & 14' GLK-350 Diamond White (P1, MM, AMG Pkg, Ln Trkng, Htd Sts, Keylss Go)
F'er was on onther side of the freeway and came up to me about 15 mins after I passed him
That is the type of manuever I would expect for going 100+, not for crusing with minimal traffic in the fast lane
now I drive 70-76 max so i dont get another ticket that cant be traffic schooled... ...get better MPG at least

I got pulled over for going 70 in a 65 zone.....
Officer: "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Me: "No, around 65?"
Officer: "I clocked you going 70. The freeway speed limit is 65."
Me: "#!$#%@$#%#$!#%!#%"
I was going the exact speed as everyone else around me and there was just these tandem cops pulling everyone over. I guess they had to meet their quota....

in the city, i parked my car where it took 2 spots, so you know that no once can park in front too close or in back. ****ty for me, because the next day someone keyed the the left door, starting from the gas lid across to whole left door. then not only that, i parked in a spot where you have to move it by 11:30 til 1 for street cleaning purposes. i didnt get up in time ($65 ticket) and someone hit my rear bumper and left a nice scratch. sometimes, you gotta pay the prices for being the king of the streets.

I've found that when you got a nice car, the best bet is to just park it normally, in a normal spot, in a normal fashion. Idiotic *****s will always go out of their way to show you their jealousy. Sucks. When my dad got a new Lexus, he parked it in a Costco parking lot away from all other cars (about 10 spots between his and the next car) and when he came out, there was a huge ding on the door. No sign of the perpetrator to be found. Looked like someone drove up right next to his car, slammed the door open, then drove away.
