Default This Morning's Birthday Present ;(

I decided to go out for a drive this morning and find something under my driver-side wiper ... Hmmm.

From a distance it looked like some kind of ticket (and it had been raining yesterday/maybe it was just the dew from this morning), but there was nothing I should have actually been ticketed for.

The note informs me that "Kelly" says she had "dinged" the back of my car, leaving her contact info.
I walk around to the back of the car, hoping for a little scratch or something ... and find THIS:







Its been an interesting last couple years!

that's not a ******* "ding", that's a ******* ocean liner cutting a new heading!!

Good tho she left her details tho.


Blummin' women drivers, hope you get it sorted soon.

Isn't this the second time now Ed?

Is it the same parking spot?

And what did she hit you with, a Mack truck or just an Excursion?

So sorry, that blows hard. That's not an accident, that's a gross misjudgement.

Hope you get her fixed soon.


Anton - who noticed a scuff on the rear bumper last week when doing the 3 step glaze and wax and almost freaked till it all just about came out in the process.

Same lot, different space ... I'm beginning to really dislike/hate this place.

I was just on the phone to a friend explaining just how much closer this car is getting to becoming a dedicated track car w/cage and turbo motor.

Actually, looks like she was backing out.

as much as it hurts to see(i'd be pissed), atleast "kelly" felt guilty and responsible enough to be honest. there's still some decent people out there.

Call her back and tell her you need her insurance info. Then ask her what she is wearing...and then tell her to take it off...and come over. Maybe not int hat order, but you get the idea.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

I hardly have a vengeful bone in my body, but as they say ... "what goes around, comes around".

Some people might call it Karma, or whatever ...

Holy ****, the titanic went down with less impact.....i suppose it was decent of her to at least leave the note admitting responsibility....i just hope for your sake she's as forthcoming when it comes to paying for the damage repairs.....which i cant see as being cheap!

Happy Birthday!

Too bad she didn't know what a Type R is. Otherwise, I would have loved to seen the look on her face.

Whats insurance said?

Probably thinks I'm some punk kid.
Maybe I'll print out that # of 97 ITRs thread and present it to the insurance co. for repairs AND diminished value ... compensation!

Yeah, looks like I may be spending some time in small claims court soon.

I think I said the same thing last time when it happened to Ed.
The woman wasn't driving. She was trying to walk between the cars.....

Happy Birthday!

You might want to check the vehicles in the parking lot for a big white smear of your paint on the front end... take a few pictures. Sure, she admitted to it when she did it, but she might try to deny it later. Finding paint on her front end would be some nice evidence...
