Wonderful tiremark?
 

I was at work, when I sensed my car from far away being parked close to my familiar old white 4d saturn but painted black. I had this gut feeling or this urge something telling me to tell my coworker that is on the lot duty to keep an eye on that black saturn. But I thought why? Why worry? SO I go outside after work and what do you know...a Black Mark on the side of the back bumper. I am hoping it is just a tiremark!
WHY PEOPLE WHY!!!!!?

I will post pics tomorrow or asap.
All I could really describe it as is this black mark size of a splatted black mark with black marks skipping streakingly little bits below it. I put my finger on it felt as if it was over the paint and not the paint that scraped off.

BTW in this situation what would happen if I told insurance? Would they cover me I have Allstate. My dad told me they would cover me
but he thinks they might increase my insurance prices, what the fuck? Increase my insurance??? what?! but it was not my fault at all, so why am I paying for insurance if they can't even insure me on that without having to increase my insurance payments...? Is he just messing with me, last thing he said was a lot of people do not like me driving nice car, lolwtf.:mad0260::mad0260::mad0260:

I'm going to go to the insurance adjuster I went to last time about the sidedoor and have them try the tiremark cleaner on the side backbumper to see if it would come off and I can not have to park anywhere near anybody anymore! I need something a camera or something to just catch these people! What do we do when we park our car? Any lowkey ordinary or extraordinary parking tips?

Alright. First off, yes, your insurance should cover it.

Second, there are scumbags out there.

Third, short of keeping your FR-S in a garage and taking another mode of transportation, there's not really much you can do to avoid scratches, dents, and trading paint when parked because of the aforementioned scumbags out there, even if you were to park far away. All I can really say is take your own suggestion and invest in a dashcam.

Relax, dude

Smoke a doobie, clear your thoughts, and contact insurance.

Ah, I don't understand the mentality of trying to keep your car pristine. Just drive it, enjoy it and let it get banged up. You'll care less when the next hit happens and you won't be upset enough to come on here and make a rage post about it. It's a 26k car that will never be a collectible and is only depreciating more and more every day, it's not a classic Rarri or a 2000GT

Screw that, I worked my ass off to buy this car. Something nice is worth keeping nice. I'm not going to let it get beat up if I can help it. I'll go the extra distance to park it away from idiots.

But that's the thing. You can't help it. Whenever I park in the back 40, I come out to see someone parked beside me. Who cares? The only way to keep the car perfect is by parking it in a garage forever. Rather be out driving the piss out of the car than be worrying about dings and dents and scratches and paint chips.

If it's a small black mark. Best to leave the ins company out of it. I always view insurance for major incidences. Your premium will thank me later.

I agree, you can't control it, but it won't stop me from trying to minimize the chances :)

........and even then ......... stuff happens.

My FR-S has 3 small dents, all of them happened while the car was parked in my garage. The first one was caused by my granddaughter, opening the back door to ma-ma's car; the second one was ma-ma, opening the door to her car; the third one was me "attempting" to lift a recycle bin over my car.

Yep, @SquadRon stuff happens.......always has .....always will ......:iono:

A month after I got my FRS it hailed. I live in Arizona. This was in October. My hood, side fenders and rear quarter panel are pockmarked. It happens.

At least it wasn't a black mark the size of a splatted white mark. Or even worse, a splatted red mark. Red marks are huge. And at least it was splatted, and not swooshed. God, can you imagine a red swoosh? Your car would have been totaled.

Or next year. Or right now. NOW. Or some other time.

If its a serious mark and insurance doesn't end up covering use some rubbing compound and go at it. Then wash, clay bar, then wax the entire car, focusing on that area specifically.

Just a word to all about insurance, claims, and rate increases: Your insurer will NOT increase your rate over a comprehensive claim (this would be a comp claim) or for a non-chargeable accident.

School is like this never ending tunnel.
Lol!

Anyways thanks for clearing things up. I'm going to go to the insurance adjuster tomorrow and see what they can do about it. If I am not tired after studying for this history test.

Seriously is there anything more I need to learn other than the general education? Anybody lol

P.S.
Pics coming sooner or never or later... IMAGINAAATIONhttp://www.picshouse2.com/vb/imgcache/2/24052poster.jpg

Draw a similar version of where the splat on a steel FR-S using Microsoft paint, Steel FR-S can be taken off google images and present it to us for a prize of WINNING. Directions: One little splat size of a golf ball. Pin the tail on the donkey. Choose one side wisely.
I didn't think I need a thread for this but to those who see it congratulations in partaking this thrill.

-Winners and picture of the real Steel FR-S golf ball splat will be revealed here-

I feel stupider for having read this thread.

Yep. Squady is back in full force. That animated gif sig alone is enough to get him banned again though.

It is just a scrape or a tiremark on a FR-S, relax the rest is just communication between other posters.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

I will take a picture later on today, yo trabajo en espanol por espanol dos y graduacion de universidad

This does not qualify as "communication":

That animated gif of yours is against the rules and if Admin ever logs on you will be banned without warning for it!

Oh okay! lol :burnrubber:

That's better!
Oh and I saw Floyd in concert 6 times between 1974 and 1977 and had the sides of my 64 Econoline painted in the DSOTM cover.

Oh, I didn't realize that the OP had a "history" here ....... :(

Seriously, how does an animated gif get one banned ...... ??

I hate you... :bow:

He is very possible better known than you or I!

Easy to get banned for them. They were added to the rules after several were indeed banned.

Well now. That is different! And sure as hell nota tire rub unless somebody held a bike at high speed up against it for a while.
I am however baffled as to what else it could have been.

Saturns have the ugliest nose-end thing just extends as a titanic about to hit ! lol
I posted some more pics in the first page

Well, I'm going to guess that the Saturn didn't do it at all.

I figure that mark was done by a jacked up jeep, pickup truck or SUV, with large tires, that extended out beyond its fenders. The vehicle was trying to move in or out of the parking space beside you and ground up your fender.

:popcorn:

Nope no Saturn nose there. You can see the rotation marks and layering. Like somebody took a body grinder to it.
That theory works. The layering was what was confusing me but a couple attempts with a wheel that sticks out would do it.

That is what you need to look for there Squady. Saturn would seem to be off the hook.

Recently there is a big wheels and a small cockpit looking jeep that parks next to or around there. I will investigate.

Not sure why I thought of this...
