I never drive my E class, EVER. Took it out tonight to pick up a friend, park behind a Tahoe and the guy decides to back up right into my front bumper with his tow hitch!!!! First words out of his mouth, " I didnt even see you". WELL NO S***, if you did you wouldnt have hit me. ANyways, annoyed and pissed. Cracked bumper, gonna cost about $250-300 to fix, its just a car......but still......i'm gonna go get drunk now and vent about it to some poor girl. i'll post pics tomorrow when its light out.

Sorry to hear that man. I do know how you feel. Seems I find another scratch or rock ship every other week.

Those first words out of thier mouth are all too common. "I didn't even see you." I heard the same words from the guy who totalled my GTI for me.

Sorry man. Get it fixed and keep driving it. You like it too much to do otherwise.

I feel for you,

my neighbor did the same thing to me the other day. Its going to cost him $200.00 to repaint the bumber. I showed him how he scratched the car and he denied it but he knew he couldnt get out if it. Moron.

Sorry to hear about getting hit. They say "I didn't see you." It could have been a child back there that they didn't see either. So many people don't pay attention. Hope all is fixed ok.
