  • The Camaro Got HIT !!!

    So I'm doing some work to the sprinkler system yesterday and I run to the Ace down the street. I decide to take the Camaro since it's a nice day. I pull in and park in one of the spots that has the big concrete light pole base in it. I come out, get in the car to run to another Ace as this one didn't have all the parts. I never looked at the front of the car as I was parked in the space with the pole.

    I go to the store a few blocks away, park in the middle of the lot and go in. When I come out, I notice the front bumper of the Camaro is pushed in and the grill is broken along with the passenger side headlight bezel....







    No note, no one around....nothing. Some AZZHAT did a hit and run. I checked with some of the store employees (at all the stores) and no one saw anything. I had them check security tapes....the cameras don't reach that far into the lots.

    I know the damage isn't that bad, luckily it didn't get into the paint, but Dam...how does somebody run into a hugger orange Camaro in a parking lot, and then not have the decency to let the owner know. Heck, the person that did it could have just paid for the parts and I wouldn't have even done a report on it.

    SOME PEOPLE JUST SUCK !!!...Oh well, off to the insurance company to get an estimate.

            I bumped into my neighbor's brand new super duty a few years back....put a ding in his bumper....when he got home I told him about it and had him get an estimate. It was $800+, he told me that since I told him about it, not to worry about it since it was so expensive. As fate would have it, a month or so later, someone left turned him so he got a new bumper anyway.

                Ever ride a motorcycle on the street? "But Officer, I just didn't see him". Friends who work as EMT's and firefighters tell me they have some idiot pull in front of them every day and if the cops catch them it's the same story. "But Officer, I just didn't see that 45 foot long x 12 foot tall, bright red truck with flashing lights and a siren at 125dB". So can they miss a brightly painted Camaro in a parking lot? Here we have evidence. Probably pulling out of parking space while chatting on cell phone and eating lunch.

                Bummer, though

                  This is exactly why I have given up on having a car with really nice paint. They are just an idiot magnet.

                    One of my contentions is that people worry WAY too much about paint quality on cars they intend to drive. A nice shiny job that looks good from a couple of feet away is perfect unless you're going for a Riddler. That's also why I favor base/clear. It's shiny and stays that way.

                    All that said, it's still a shame the Camaro got bumped by some moron (to all morons out there - no offense meant. I know not all morons drive around with their heads up their butts.....). (Next thing I'll be getting nasty emails from the Moron Anti-Defamation League).

                              I'm picturing a woman in an SUV, buying gardening supplies. Backing up while yakking on the phone..."Whoops, hit someone. Oh, it's OK. It was just some old car"
