Post Damage!!

I guess it was bound to happen. Wife took the car and went shopping. Parked it far away from the general population of lazy people. Came back and found that some motherfu@ker hit the rear bumper. Little paint chipped off and around the area it looks wrinkled. I know there ain't nothing I can do about it...just needed to vent. Sh!t I am pissed. To the idiot that hit my car....What Goes Around Comes Around.

Sorry to hear that man... It not just hurt the car, but hurts u more rite...
well.. just think of it this way (my dad told me this)
"Bumpers??? haha.. they are there FOR people to hit... who cares.. just bumper. It's meant to be there to hit.. so don't worry about it. Besides.. a New bumper cost like what... $xxxxx(i forgot) when it's totally destroyed... just replace it. Why bother spend 200$ for repaint everytime u chip it or someone hits it? U'll ending up spending more $$"

True true....

Sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel.

When I just got my current car I went to a shopping center, parked...while I'm still in the car some old piece of $hit woman parks next to me, opens her door and hits my car. I come out and say, "What the Xuck are you doing you stupid B|tch!". She says, "Don't worry, nothings wrong with your car". Then she decided for her safty to relocate her car. People are real A$$holes. If you catch people hitting your car not due to an accident but due to them being D|CK$ teach them a lesson, otherwise they will do it again.

So how did you end up teaching her a lesson? Sounds like you just let her go. I had a close call once. Me and my girlfriend parked in this shopping center to get beer and then a car parked up next to us. I was looking at them when I opening my door and the guy's passenger just swung the door open without looking when I was staring straight at them. Luckily I closed my door in time or else I would've started raising hell.

Same thing happened to me a while ago. I parked 10-12 spaces from the closest car in the lot and I came out to a bunch of nice scrapes on my front bumper.

I know how you feel. Good luck getting it fixed.

I hate that when it happen people dont care about other cars. I have a good story about that people. Me and my uncle just pick up his brand new 2000 toyota tacoma pick up, so after we pick up his truck we went to Mc Donalds to eat. So we parked his truck, while we where eating this Ford F150 park next to his truck. This guy just swing his door open it hit his truck real hard, and we saw it with our own eyes. I told to my uncle that guy hit your truck he said WTF!!! Here comes the good part since my uncle had bad cough and flu, he took a good deep breath to take that stuffy pleghm and spitt that baby on the keyhole of this F150 since the guy wasnt lookin we drove home happy with his revenge and yea the dent got fix after that incident....

Throw a raw egg on his paint finish..watch the sun bake it into the paint. Looks nasty, and is a b@tch to fix. (Never did it, but i've seen halloween-egged cars with nasty stains that never came off)

She was old, and it was a long time ago. I had many years for my hatred for jerks who have no respect for others property to grow.

Randy,
That sucks! I know how you feel. Just washed the TL today and found two dings on the passenger side! I was pi$$ed!! Hopefully you don't have to use the Acura touch up paint because that's the worst paint I ever used. Thin, runny... can't even cover the chips. And another thing... my wife just scraped the front spoiler on a curb... and my car is not even dropped... yet!

Wassup Dean!
Sorry to hear about the dings and the scraped spoiler. Believe me, I know how you feel!! So the Acura touch-up paints sucks huh? I really want to cover up the black ding on the bumper (kinda noticable) but if the paint is sh!tty I may forego. Hope the ding and scrape on your car ain't all that obvious. People in hawaii suck when it comes to "auto courtesy"!
