Welp, my CL-S got damaged by a SUV :(
http://www.5thgenmaximas.com/silverbullet/clsdamage/
Yep....
I didn't even see it happen or the vehicle who did it
Anyways, I was at Walmart for a while, came out, and thought my hood was open. Nope, car was hit by something high enough to go over my bumper and hit my hood/grill. The bumper has a tear in it where I circled as well. Damn it!
I am not gonna go through insurance on this, I just hope a new hood doesn't cost alot.

That shit happened to me too, except I saw the guy hit me (he was in a 2 ton Ford F-350 super duty with a full brush guard). However, he is trying to blame the damage on me....and he REAR ENDED ME!...It's like people in SUV's think they own the road.....sorry, just had to vent a little...

What are you doing at Wal-mart anyway.....?
Sorry to hear about your damage; were you parked amongst all the general public who don't care about their cars?
Also it might be time to adjust your insurance so it will be usable when you need it. Trust me the ability to use insurance (or an extended warranty) takes away alot of the grief and anger and stress....might cost a few more bucks but it's worth it [to me].

I just parked close to the front, maybe about 1/4 way down a isle. But I just saw what the damn vehicle was that hit me (walmart cameras caught it, BUT, no license plate can be seen). It was a damn Ford Excursion. Some lady hit me, got out, looked, and got back in and left. Son of a B!!!!

Yep! Thanks. Gotta support my boy. He did good today, and he could have won if the race didn't get rained out, he was hauling butt!

Damn, just reading this gets me all fired up.
I can't believe how careless and dishonest people are nowadays. Some bitch does $1k+ worth of damage to a car because she's incompetent behind the wheel of a vehicle that is that large, and she just drives away.Hopefully she'll get her comeuppance down the road. Probably when she's trying to back out of her garage, but floors it in 'D' instead and mows through the wall of her house.

Damn - Just saw your post. I hate when dishonest people do that shit man. The same shit happened to me about a couple months ago, and i parked at the end of the row of a lot, so no one could door ding me. Just so happens that the person that pulled beside me happened to scrape their bumper on my back bumper trying to make a quarter turn. I got white paint on the corner of my bumper and it pisses me off everytime i wash my car.
I feel your pain man!

Anway, sorry to hear about this. Shit like this pisses me off. Some people have no respect. It's shit like this that is going to have me put a camera in the car.. one facing front and one facing rear. It will catch anything. Once I have some extra money to play with I'll be looking into this.....
Good luck with getting it fixed....

I would stalk out the Wal-Mart parking lot where this happened for a few days.
Go there around the same time of day as the person might shop there often.
Maybe you’ll see the truck that you saw on the security camera and see some damage on the trailer hitch.
If it’s a perfect match for the damage on your hood, I’d say you have a case.
Maybe you might even find some of your paint on the other vehicle.
Just a thought.
And then they would also be fined for leaving the scene of an accident.
Did you get a copy of the security tape ?

But my wife is there like EVERY WEEK shopping with her sisters !!!
That’s why I said to check back often and look for the truck.
When I visit SAM’S CLUB which is right next to my local Wal-Mart I park WAAAAAY out by the road so this type of thing doesn’t happen to me.
Even if it’s RAINING !!!
