People Suck

Alright so people suck. Today, I walk out to my car to find that someone had backed into the front of it, and (of course) left no note. I got most of the paint scuffs out with rubbing compound, but I need a new grill and somehow a hole was punched in my AMG bumper. Thank God my Carlsson bumper hadn't yet been installed, or my new lights weren't damaged or I would not be very happy right now.

People who back into cars blow goats.

The other day I saw a pickup back right into a parked jeep and do some major damage.
The guy in the pickup looked around (saw me standing there) and then took off. I walked back to my car and wrote down the make & license plate of the pickup and left it on the guys windshield.
I couldn't let him get away with that

Ivan, I wish you were there ;0) Peter, thanks for the tip. Caliber is actually where I bought my car, so I'll definitely be giving them a call about that grill. I guess I better hurry up and get my Carlsson kit on so I don't have a hole in my bumper.

File a claim to your insurance, you pay the deductable, but you get your car repainted/fixed which cost way more than the deductable, and your insurance rate won't go up, because afterall it's not your fault.

What a small world! Were you a friend of Paul's? Berge is a really good friend of mine so I hang out there from time to time (browsing this forum ;0)). Wish you would have said hi - it's always nice meeting people from the board!
