Curse, double-up, curse curse! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Goody · 06-09-2013, 06:23 PM

This is the second time in less than three months of owning the car that it has been hit in parking lots! First one was set strait at the best local body shop on the other dude's dime. This one is just paint damage and some bumper scrapes and I watched as it happened so I know that it wasn't a big impact that caused it. After looking at the best I could do for pictures, is this something I should try and DIY and pocket some money from the perp or should I body shop it again and have the dude pay for his deed?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Where's the damage? All I see are self portraits

The scrapey scrapes, man! But taking pictures of myself with the reflection of my shiney car is defintely a pass-time of mine... I forgot to use my duck face!

Take it to a shop. Aint no way you're gonna fix missing paint.

Your car is a mirror!

Yep, take it to a shop and get it done correctly. Otherwise it will eat you alive when you look at it. Then park out in the boondocks so no one runs into it again. I would have freaked out!!

Luckily I had finished my torta and jamaica or else I would have had to do a spit-take. I was just having a bite before embarking with my mates to a bachelor party. Lucky me that there was a good excuse to drink away the accident.

I would be more concerned about your club foot!!!!!

Being serious sorry that it happened.....Again. I would take it to a shop and have dude pay for it.

Yup, my car has been hit twice on the front right bumper and once on the front left bumper within 3 months of owning the car despite parking on the far side of parking lots.

These cars are a magnet for being bumped.

I'm starting to think the curse is part of the design. The car just looks so "low" and flat, people can't tell where the car is. Unless it's a giant slab of metal like and SUV, it is not there =_=;

I park away from everyone! When I think there will be a small chance of people filling the lot, I pull off the A-hole card and double angle park. Fuck other people I say.

I think thats what it is...the 3 times my front bumper has been bumped is when I reverse park.
