Someone hit my car in the lot. The back right part of my bumper is cracked. My right rear quarterpanel is dented and coming off. There's dents in my trunk. Lucky for me, all this shit is connected to each other almost so I have to get a whole new trunk and a whole new bumper. Fuckin awesome. I'm gonna shit when I figure out how much this costs vs. insurance claim.

Yeah, driving with brakes is so overrated :ugh:

Also, that bumper is gonna be like 2000 at a shop, find a used one from a junkyard and paint it yourself.

My car blurt:
I just came back from the drag races. My grandpa's team and my uncle was racing. My uncle redlighted twice and hesitated his last race. While it wasnt the best way to end the season, he still did very well in the earlier races.

Until about 30 minutes ago, I smelled like burned rubber. My face is also slightly sunburned from the overcast sky.

I am about to get in my car and drive to a friends house for cards, booze and the fights. Cars are good.

I'm waiting for that right now. I'm not hoping for much. The security here are a bunch of Harrison's.

Do you know what their cars are? Or what times they run?

Quarter mile or 1/8th mile?

Too much to hope for that someone left contact information for you or owned up to what they did, huh?

I really hate people who hit your car in the parking lot and jet out of there before anyone catches them. Someone did that to me in college. It wasn't quite as bad as your car, but I came out from classes to find a big crack in my left rear bumper.

Sorry about your car, Jay, that really sucks. =(

I was hit in the parking lot twice, one was a hit and run in my own apartment complex, the other was a hit and the guy driving didn't own the car or anything. It took months for anything to happen and I'd just bought the car less than three weeks prior. then three flat tires within three months. the electrical issues were ridiculous also-phantom car. good riddance.

I've never been hit and run, but my best friend parked her car at college and was sitting in the chair finding her papers etc, and some girl pulled in next to her, hit her, and kept pulling foreward into the parking spot without backing up. So there is a big scratch all down her car, and then when the other girl realized my friend was still in the car, she didn't apologize or anything, she booked it on foot.

Needless to say, called the cops and the dumb bitch had to pay for it, I hope her daddy is proud. (Most college students can't afford '06 mustangs, and if they can, they don't drive them recklessly)

And finally, daddy's girls are fucking stupid.

I can't fuckin believe it. The security guys got the plate number and already reported it to the cops. Lexus dealership wants 4k to fix all that shit too so it looks like I'm not really fucked over after all.

Hmm, maybe I can give them the dealership quote, get it done at a custom shop for less, figure in lost wages etc etc, I might be able to profit from this...

Stories without happy endings are just stories that aren't finished yet.
