Yea I was considering suing the person for diminished value but didnt follow through with it. THe car is restored back to its original state, you cant even tell it was hit. If it was something larger, engine related or something major then i would have hired a lawyer. But it was basic repair, new bumper, side panel, rim, and paint job. I intend to have this car for a long time, so that is another reason i didnt follow through.

Damn dude, my buddy actually sent me a link to this on Jalopnik the day before I picked up my NISMO... Made me cringe to see it. Glad to see your baby's all better.

EazyD · 10-25-2010, 11:11 PM

Well there are a number of people out there (especially Prius drivers ) that do not care about other peoples vehicles. The majority of people see a nice car and immediately think that the owner is some sort of a-hole or they just simply dont care. I learned a lesson the day that parking in the city or any parking lots is one of the most dangerous places. I now park far away from anyone or take up two spots if I have too.

Eric · 10-26-2010, 10:16 AM

Grocery stores and mall/department store parking lots are among some of the worst places to park a car, especially a nice car.

I found out that by parking far away or taking up 2 parking lots tend to attract more attention and some actually take it pretty far and vandalize your car.

You piss someone off, Modshack? A disgruntled ex-gf or somethin'?

Please explain this to me. You can obviously see her passenger side mirror was knocked backwards which takes a decent amount of force and would make a pretty loud noise. She didnt know something was wrong at that point and she still continued forward? What the hell is going on? That is way worst then most drunk drivers IMHO. She shouldnt be allowed to drive anymore.

sgthanzo · 11-07-2010, 06:26 AM

My gut wretched when I saw that old-lady's car brushed up against your Z. I, too, have a 40th and I get paranoid when I hit a public area where parking maybe an issue.

I'm glad you got your car back in its original form. I wonder if anyone out there makes a 'perimeter protection' sort of a device for cars. hmmm...
