Walked outside to wash my car this morning and see this...

I park in a parallel parking place on the street because it's free and it's been good for 2 years now. I guess not paying for it has caught up with me.




Someone took advantage of me. No note or nothing. This kind of thing makes me hate people more and more. No decency. Anyways, cleaned if off, buffed and waxed it a little bit and this is what it came out to. Still there but much better. It actually popped the bumper inwards I think because of the way the scratch is. Oh well.




Any other ways to cover it up some? Worst part is that I just had that bumper repainted a year ago because a friend hit it. Why couldn't it have been the front bumper that NEEDS paint already!

Dude, consider yourself lucky....the exact same situation happened to me, only the guy did it to my front....big gash right on my nose next to the camaro emblem. Looks like some moron with a flatbed did it and got scared and drove away. It was at my GF's old place, I was so pissed.

Looks worse in person, I tried to cover it up a little:

And yes, my fading fender from a bad paint job by the previous owner also looks worse in person.

Same happened to me except I was driving on the expressway and a tire came out of no where and scuffed the back of my right rear bumper cover. Some dumbass lost his wheel. At least nothing was broken except for a small paint job.

That's just what people do these days. I had barely 3,000 miles on the Impreza before someone did a hit and run on the rear bumper and someone else put a giant door ding in the side.

Re: Walked outside to wash my car this morning and see this...

I agree with a lot of you guys that it definitely could have been a lot worse. But it still irks me to no end.

MarcR94v6: That almost looks like a lifted truck with a tow hitch. I know a LOT of peole with trucks that have done that. If I hear of a friend that doesn't leave a note I usually will ream them a new one for it. No F***ING excuse for not, I don't care if your insurance will go up!

Small door dings on my car are a dime a dozen. College kids don't seem to give a damn about theirs or anyone elses cars. I'm kinda glad I graduate in 3 weeks.

Sorry to hear! You should see my Corolla after a year of parking at a college:
side scraped down to the clearcoat, front chipped, rear nicked, various dents.

I hear ya man, I am in the exact same boat. My paint was actually decent before I got to college and now I have scratches, dents, etc. all over my ****ing car.

Re: Walked outside to wash my car this morning and see this...

When I was going to college I usually took my beater truck. Didn't care about that thing, hell, I ran it into **** just for fun(not cars). When I took the Camaro, it sat in the back parking lot. I didn't care how late I was or was going to be. Didn't care how hot it was. It stayed in the back lot, which was the least populated. It was typically empty except for just a few cars.

Someone did a hit and run on my 03 Silverado I think. There's a red spot on my bumper and up by my gas tank. Dunno where they came from, but oh well.

It doesn't matter where I park, some ******* always ends up parking literally 2 inches from one of my doors. ****ers.

Re: Walked outside to wash my car this morning and see this...

reminds me of the time I came out after stopping by work real quick, your typical straight in parking spaces - someone pulled way into theirs, and 3 feet or so into mine, right into and over the nose of my car. People are so f'ing stupid, that they LEFT their car parked on mine basically. I had to leave because I was in a hurry, so I moved the car since didn't appear to be structure damage - rather than take pics or report or something, wrote their plate down just in case... After backing out 2 feet I was able to buff everything out with some wax I had in the car, so I left THEM a nice little note. How are people so ignorant of such situations?
