I suppose I can join the club...

...of pissed off people who have had their VR4 hit and have no idea who hit it.

My car is off the road for the winter. It's parked at least 3-4 feet from the road where anyone would be crazy enough to drive (there's mailboxes not too far from my car). I pull the NA out of the lot to go to school, glance at my car, and what do I see? A lot of primer. Praying that it's just some snow sitting on the bumper, I slam on the brakes and jump out... no. It's a humongous scratch surrounded by chipped paint on both the rear bumper and bottom edge of the hatch... FML. There's no sign of paint on the bumper as I'm trying to figure out who could have done it. So my first thought it, it was a fucking plow who got too close to it and scraped the shit out of it.

So, I call Allstate to file a claim. Since I only put comprehensive on the car for the winter months, they tell me that comp doesn't cover damage by another vehicle, only glass and vandalism... so of course I'm like "then it's fucking vandalism... I don't know what the hell hit it".

Ugh I'm so pissed off right now. It wouldn't be so bad if it was ONLY the bumper, but they took the damn hatch with it. If I find out who did it, which I wont, they're dead.

That sucks man, I'd be furious if that ever happened to me. I hate those coward lowlife sons of bitches that hit a vehicle and just take off without leaving their info.

People like that don't give a shit about their cars and most likely don't have insurance themselves.

That sucks!!!!!

[PearlWhiteR/T]

That definitely sucks. I hate door dings man... couldn't imagine if someone hit and ran on my car.

[FluffyCow]

That sucks man, I kinda know the feeling...a perfectly round dent showed up in my fender while I had my car at the mechanic, no scratches, no uneven parts of the dent, just perfectly round like someone knee'd it. Hopefully oyu find who did it and kick the shit out of them

Just got home to get a closer look.

It's dark out, but basically the bumper is the worst of it. The hatch has a nice long wide scratch on the bottom edge (luckily they didn't get through the primer). The center piece is damaged (I want a 99 one anyway) and the passenger side tail light has spider cracks in it now (also not a huge deal). I suppose the damage could be worse.... but this is a non-stock candy red with a gold metallic flake in it.

The only good to come of this is that I'm a Btech student for Automotive and the body division knows how to analyze aftermarket paint colors... they have the technology to do so.

Oh, and I'm certain that it was the guy who plows the apartment complex lot out. I'm sure that on the day of the blizzard he went to clear out the area in front of the mail boxes and hung a right curve right into my car that was buried in 2 feet of snow.

Haha, sorry 'bougt you luck bud but I got just the part for you... We are scoundrels aren't we?

That really sucks. I had someone but out a window from a thrown beer bottle on my SS Trailblazer. I was seeing red, but the insurance paid out handsomely. I did the work myself to fix it so I came out a little ahead. But if I ever found the dumb nuts who did it. :die:

Btw, I have a 1st and 2nd gen bumper, center garnish, hatch, and tail lights sitting on my parts shelf if you need em. :w00t:

^Haha no doubt.

I'm happy shmoo is on here now... always enjoyed the posts where you actually had to think about them for a few minutes to make sense of them:D Even then.. sometimes that doesn't help.

I guess some good came of this.

Adjuster came to my house today. Estimated damages in the amount of $1000, subtracted the deductible of $500, and printed me a $500 check on the spot. I really wasn't expecting Allstate to do anything for me since I was only covered under comprehensive but it was filed under vandalism so that's pretty sweet.

[J_Parker]

That's shitty man, hopefully you can figure something out. I had someone hit my car TWICE last summer and never even left a mark of their paint or information. I have a nice big dent on my front drivers side quarter panel, and a Sisely dent just by my drivers side tail light, that at the time took out the tail light, luckily I had spares. Of course the insurance company wouldn't do anything about it... Why I pay for insurance, I have no clue.

[Street_Chally73]

That truly sucks, man! At least Allstate came through a little bit to help with the cost of a couple of the parts.
