Well first oil change then hit!!!

sonic370 · 06-16-2010, 05:59 PM

Just had to vent and i knew you guys would understand.
Had my oil changed for the first time at 3000. Anyway after getting it done thought i would go to the mall,you know where this is heading right. Parked my car at least a 1/2 mile from the entrance,yeah that's right when i got back someone had smashed right into the drivers side of my baby! the rim even had damage. The only good thing about it is they left contact imfo they had even called their insurance company. So there is still decent people left in this world.My insurance guy said he couldn't believe they left a note

Anyway i'll post pics soon. Things can be replaced people can't.
rental is a pontiac vibe! from a 370 to a vibe!!!

Wow ... you are a lucky man and just goes to show that there are 1/2 decent folks in the world still... Good luck w/ the repairs man.

Sibze · 06-16-2010, 06:12 PM

Sorry to hear that dude. Thank god they left info!

Ray · 06-16-2010, 07:14 PM

Wow! Glad they left their contact information!!

Prior to our 370z Roadster we had an Audi TT Roadster. At 600 miles on the Audi TT, some lady turned left right into my front quarter panel and wheel, while I was just driving straight.

I think the damages came to around 5-6k when they were all done with everything she managed to hurt....she was fully responsible.

So when we bought this car, I didn't drive it at all until it had over 600 miles on it

as a person who had a vehicle they purchased brand new (my truck) get hit and run 3 times... count your blessings you don't have to go through what i have to get something done about it. still sucks tho, my first H&R was at 3400 miles in the parking lot of a restaurant and it happened right in front of me and there wasn't a damn thing i could do about it

shadoquad · 06-16-2010, 07:47 PM

<--------- has dinged a door severely and left a note before

Seriously, it's the right thing to do. Although, I'd expect car enthusiasts like a lot of us on this board to probably take that more seriously than Joe Q. Prius.

nicknick · 06-16-2010, 07:49 PM

Best thing about this is the person was decent enough to leave contact details. I just hope they are valid contact details. Aside from this I feel sorry for you, you take precautions to protect your car aand this kinda stuff happens!!!

Nick911sc · 06-16-2010, 08:05 PM

So sorry about your car. But the fact that they left information is amazing. I rarely hear about people doing that on a day to day basis in the business.

sonic370 · 06-16-2010, 08:09 PM

Just proves sometimes you can't be to careful. If you park your car out of harms
way people think you are stuck up are something. Luckily the contact information was right her insurance has already called me with a claim number. there gonna
crap when they get the bill for that one rim not to mention the rest of the damage. I'm getting it repaired at the nissan dealership hope they know what their doing. might even think about getting the clear bra for the front end and get rid of that black one.

Anyone know if this goes on a carfax list

Zigen5 · 06-16-2010, 08:39 PM

Hopefully it's the correct information.

If it's been reported it'll show up on the carfax most likely.

tack on extra for depreciation

Cmike2780 · 06-16-2010, 11:48 PM

Having a unique car has it's downside. I do the same thing, park a mile away so no one parks next to me. It doesn't work sometimes because people want to look at the car and park next to me anyways. It's flattering and irritating at the same time.

It amazes me how someone could hit a parked car. If its reported to the insurance company, it will likely show up on carfax. Just make sure the repairs are done correctly and keep a detailed record should you plan to sell the car in the future. I would want to be honest with the future owner anyways. This situation could have been worst had the person who hit you just fled. Pay it forward.

haha..Pontiac Vibe.. insult to injury
