Hit and Run by a Big Chicken last night...

Last night I was hit and run by a pu*** last night. It really pisses me the hell off. I feel almost Pulp Fiction esque. Can't have anything nice anymore. I would have loved to catch them doing the ****. Some clown blasted my car and my neighbors car in a private parking lot where we live. Almost pushed it a whole 90 degrees from the way that I had parked her.

Just pisses me off. Mine as well buy a civic once they fix this and not care what happens to it. I am sure you all know the drill. Pay to get my car fixed thanks to the actions of a drunk d-bag. We are putting posters up all around my complex offering a cash reward leading to info on whom was responsible for the incident.

Thanks for reading my mini-rant, don't even have time for a long rant. Pics below.

-The Stew

Sucks, I too have experienced the pain. Came out of my apt. complex to find a nice big hit like yours to my Jeep. Called police, they filed a report. I pointed out the evidence to them, which was white paint and pieces of broken headlight which was from a Toyota. Gee, how hard would it be to track that down? To top it off, my apt. place had a security guard at the entrance and video cameras, but they did absolutly nothing to assist me. This lead me to believe the cameras were fake.

Had to pay for the fix myself. It sucks.

Your car is dirty

And that does suck. It's one of the reasons that I'm so **** about trying to park in a garage, or away from where idiots can hit me, but it's not always possible.

Hope it can get repaired quickly.

Holy shyt.. and your car aint silver ><!
Definatly gonna need some body work on it. I'd say aim for maybe a bodykit and aftermarket exhaust now hehe. Just trying to shell out some positives man.

If I lived closer I'd offer myself up for a beat down of the guy who did this. I'm just picturing about 4-10 Rx-8's pulling into this guys neighbor hood and this guy shitting his pants.

Hope you got good comprehensive insurance - they should cover hit and run
The jerk is apt to live in the your unit or come to visit - so you can turn over a list of suspects to your insurance agent - they are more apt to do an investigation to recover their own losses - and this kind of thing can mean jail time for the perp if you can locate him, get evidence and file a complaint (depends on state) - yup check for evidence, and ask around at local body shops

From the pics, it looks like a black vehicle hit it.

Also, it looks like a little crease just at the top left of the turn signal, so it will take some body work in that area, so just a new bumper and exhaust won't quite cut it.

Damn dude, that totally sux!

Isnt there anyway the police can track who did it by the paint residue from their car on yours?
I remember reading years ago that each car manufacturer has their own type of paint used on cars.
So for example if it was a certain type of yellow that was only used on mustangs.
You could do a search for yellow mustangs in your area and see which one is damaged.
