Welcome to the door ding club! We went to Oshawa Canada when they had a tour of the Camaro assembly line. I have a black SS and it's always kept in my garage. The car had ZERO dents or scratches of any kind. My wife and I parked the car at the host hotel to check in and I parked at the end of the parking spots so no one would park next to me. We come out of the hotel just in time to see that a dufus with a big Ford truck had parked right next to my Camaro. My wife immediately seen the scratch and dent that we both know wasn't there prior to getting to the hotel.
I told my wife to get in the car and I am going to chase the SOB down and he is going to pay to get it fixed. I saw the truck about 7-8 cars ahead of us and I was trying to get around people to catch up with the a-hole. There was just to much traffic and I couldn't catch up to him enough to even get a plate number.
I don't understand WTF is wrong with people. Why did the ass have to park right next to me when there were 20+ open parking stops? He had to know that he hit my car hard enough to cause damage. It was also obvious to him that the car was practically brand new so wouldn't you expect the guy to be considerate and at least leave a note with his name and contact information?
I took the car to the dealer I bought it from when we got back to Ohio. I have bought a lot of vehicles from this dealer so they all know me. The Service Mgr quoted me $850 to fix the dent and the scratch. He told me it's to hard to match black because it shows everything and if he just tried to fix the spot it would show.
Well I used a tiny bit of touch up paint to cover the scratch but if you get at the right angle you can still see the dent. Every time I wash the car I see that scratch and dent and I get pissed off all over again!
