try so see if your insurance will file it under uninsured/underinsured motorist since it was a hit and run. then it won't go on your insurance record as a claim.

I would almost bet that they were drunk. especially at 3 in the morning.
I wonder if that speed bump there played a role?

Isn't that an odd place to park your car for the night? Over a speed bump?

looks like someone did that purposely.......slow contact...imo

If they were going fast or if it was accidental you would have more damage.....

I tend to agree with DARKMAZ8. I would think the a safe place to park would be right where you put it, straddling the speed bump. They would have to slow down to a crawl to get over it. Looks intentional to me.

Did you check the SUV behind you? Maybe that one was trying a drunken Parallel Park? Maybe the neighbor that said he herd something was the one?

I'm not sure I follow. So slow speed=intentional?

Have you ever gone over a speed bump at an angle at slow speeds without your hands on the steering wheel? and you notice that the steering wheel will jerk in the direction of which the last wheel over the bump is. It looks as though that is what happened IMO,that someone may have gone over the speed bump at an angle without having full control of the steering wheel,thus jerking it to one side and causing the damage.

Can't believe that. Nordic Green here too, and with the same wheels. Hope you get things straightened out quickly. I felt sick looking at it too.

I don't usually park there. There was a flooded street outside of my complex and I had to move my other car into my assigned spot. when I got home I was forced to park over the speed bump. it is however a legitimate parking spot and someone parks there every night.

I can't understand how someone can hit the wheel well like that without hitting anything else. Only thing i can think of is a trailer hitch backed into it. If a normal car hit it straight on then more damage would have been neccessary. You may have some vandals with a sledge-hammer or something. It just doesn't add up that someone can hit that area without hitting the wheels or lower area of the car. Do you have any enemies or anyone you pissed off recently? After looking at those pictures there is no way a car could do that head on without hurting something else on your car or leaving paint/scratches from their car.

Hope everything works out okay for you, thats an awesome looking car.

Nah, no enemies that i know of and like i said someone heard it happen and a car tear off. there was a scuff on the wheel and tire but they wiped clean before i took pis. with the speed bump being so high it could have been a truck or suv.


hey cas, do you remember how much your damage bill ran you las summer?

Well I was lucky enough to know who did it and they paid for it out of their own pocket. If I remember correctly, it was around $650. The Dealership replaced the Black Plastic and the Fender.
