Sorry to hear this. My previous car was hit and run by people several times. I know how bad the feeling was.

Sorry Ron, long island is the pits! My last Infiniti g37 coupe had 3 hit and runs in the matter of 1 month, each costing about $500 to fix. Now with my car I had 2 baseballs at a local park dent my hood and my side rear fender in the same day! I need a foam car cover. Anyway, the long island horror part comes in here. I guess some punks decide to make a great profit by stealing the tow hitch covers on all the escalades here and sell them on eBay for $300+. Mine has gotten stolen about 3 times now until my father permanently affixed it with rivets instead of the stock clips!

My fathers sl 500 has been the subject of stealing the mesh around his foglight and the cover for the jacking point on his car. And someone tried to steal the chrome strips off my oem grill. I came back to my car and half of one strip was popped out. I didn't even know you could do that!

Bottom line is. Karma is always in effect. Your break will come soon. Enjoy life!

Ron:

People are mostly good, but there are so many two legged animals mixed in the crowd that give us all a bad name.

Sorry that this happened, I hope you do not have to compromise your liability by finding these worthless idiots. They are not worth any waste of energy other than to hit them with the law if you can put together a locked case.

Fixed the diffuser the cracks are only visible up close. All I have left to do is put the vinyl CF covers over the machine screws. Grill will be done in a few weeks I have to backfill it first. I know most people are good but why are there so many nasty ones. Also I figure the diffuser hit was an accident but the grill was intentional and thats the one that pisses me off the most.

I am surprised that that situation didn't get out of hand. You know how it is, beer, one person trying to be tough in front of their friends. Let alone they didnt scratch your car.

The more money we spent on a car, the more picky we would become with it. It surely does worth the money to drive nicer car. But sometimes I also wonder, does it worth our time and efforts

I used to have Honda CRV, I never blink any second to find parking or handed the key to valet. But once I got either BMW or Mercedes, it makes me think a lot more than twice to do the same.

hope you can find a way to fix the rear diffuser because "DARTH" just wouldn't look the same without the mods
why would they do that not nice should be disciplined
