That's NY City for you. Try clay bar, it should take it off or just buff it out. Good luck.

Looks like paint transfer. Alot of elbow grease and it will be gone.

Ouch that sucks, but like others have said, it should buff out pretty easily.

did you at least look at the cab number, or even the plate?

otherwise it's more then likely going to be on yourself to get it fixed (you might be able to call up the cab company, but GL with them willing to help you find what cab driver it was)

That really sucks

At least it wasn't one of the crazy MTA bus drivers that pull up a couple of inches from your car. That's nice that your dad's helping you out at his shop.
