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.

Aww man.. i love this forum... its like a funneral.. .where everyones like... it'll be ok!

you guys are great!

narky

True.

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.

narky

I got a Kia Rio. Yessssssssssssssssssss, just what I wanted. $18/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.

gotta ticket for 86 in a 65, $275 bucks

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.

Thats a dick move. It takes such jerks to do that. To go ahead and take 2 parking spots for one car

narky

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.

micropower99

Exactly. Parking the car away from everyone else will make the car stand out (to criminals and vandals). Using 2 spots instead of one will **** people off and again cause vandalism (Which I don't blame them for that motive). Your best bet (like Narky said) is park like everyone else.

JohnGjolaj1

yea it is. funny thing is that i use to do that with my 99 ml430 and no scratches. ever. losers

Taiwanese

sorry, I don't feel bad you got keyed.

Devastator187

sorry...you had it coming...

junkfoodz

come on....use a nice word...like r u nuts move?

jangy

Definitely deserved it. Maybe you were just due from the ML?

RLE

No one notices an ML, particularly if it's me-too silver.

ROFL ROFL!!
