Crunch!
Well, it finally happened. all that care in parking lots and not parking close to other vehicles... Somebody backed into my '03 and took out the right fog light, bumper cover and front fender. The estimate is $2200. She left me a note and her insurance is covering it all, but what a drag.

Well, I wouldn't suggest doing anything unscrupulous here in public, but it's been done before. All it takes is a body shop willing to work a little magic with the "actual" parts that go on the car and the "ordered" parts that the insurance company is paying for. Most times they won't care anyways, they are paying the money out regardless, and it's no difference to the body shop. Just have to get a little "creative". Either way, sorry to hear about your truck! Hope you get it fixed up right.

I often sit out in the truck when my mom goes into the store, so i have caught FOUR people hitting our vehicle, and running off, in the last two years. I got every one of their plate numbers, two of them actually went into the store, and came back out. they insisted that they didnt hit the car, and there was no damage. Ive even been hit by a drunk driver, who stuck her tounge out at me and drove off, got her plate too. I try my hardest not to believe stereotypes against women drivers, but every single one was a woman...

Lead Foot, if you consider that half of drivers in general are women, the fact that 4 out of 4 drivers who happened to hit your car are women is not that much of a statistical anomaly. MOREOVER, if you consider that in the average store parking lot there is most likely a much larger percentage of women drivers (say 60-75, depending on the time of day and type of store) this 4 out of 4 is even more probable.

most people won't leave a note! i had a 01 durango brand new i parked it far away from every one and i came out and some idiot removed the whole drivers side. the fenders were laying on the ground it was 9,000.00 in damage. the security video showed some jackass spinning douts in the parking lot in his lifted truck and he lost control and went right in to my truck. about 3 weeks after getting it fixed i was in the drive thru at BK and the guy in front of me decides he wants to back up and he floors it right into me, he never even looked behind him.
