Street parking in Chicago makes me cringe.

kevinnivek8877 · 08-03-2012, 08:32 PM

wow no kidding, you turned red. hope you get your car fixed!

bayareakhiladi · 08-03-2012, 08:36 PM

All bad!

Insurance should fix it!

GNS · 08-03-2012, 08:40 PM

It would have been more awesome if you had turned green instead.

eriktherod · 08-03-2012, 08:42 PM

If it makes you feel any better, that should be pretty easy to fix with a little spray job.

Parking in Chicago is hilarious.

I commend you for keeping a cool head man.

I would have been pissed and the instant she tried that whole act I would have flipped....

Glad insurance will be restoring your car, hope it's a quality job

frs · 08-03-2012, 09:15 PM

at least she got caught than you didn't even know who did it

norm24 · 08-03-2012, 09:51 PM

Silver lining.... she didn't try to get out of that spot before you....

You have to report this to your insurance company immediately.

I had probably 5 feet between her Accord and my FR-S.

Go upstairs to change and pack a bag to head down to my girlfriend's condo in downtown Chicago. When I walked out the door, I felt my ears turn red when I saw this:

I immediately knew that the lunatic who tried to park this 2012 Escape in a spot fit for a Fiat 500 had hit both my car and the car behind her. Upon close inspection I found two scrapes, both through the paint and into the bumper, on the rear of my beloved FRanceSca. I really wanted to go full Grand Theft Auto on her Escape - but I cooled down, took some pics and video, and called my local police non-emergency line to have them dispatch an officer.

Long story short, the vehcile owner comes out after the cops call her. She comes down and has the audacity to ask me if I backed in to her. The cop sees I'm about to flip a switch and looks at her with impressive incredulity and says, "lady are you out of your mind? There's no way you wedged this thing in here without hitting BOTH vehicles in front and behind you."

Anyway, I got her insurance info and am going to get an estimate done for a bumper touch up. This car is my daily driver, so I know it was bound to happen - but to come out and see this just floored me!

Ok, thanks for letting me rant.

/start. weekend. now.:happy0180:

Some people, I swear to god. Good job keeping your cool, I would've FLIPPED.

Hawaiian · 08-04-2012, 02:13 AM

2 people got me the other day, one on three front the other the back. They moved their cars so I couldn't claim it, but I know who they are. Once I move out I will exact my revenge.

Tujin · 08-04-2012, 02:21 AM

If I saw that... I can't imagine I'd be able to keep my cool.

Props to you man. If I were in your shoes, I probably would've instantly lost it, and started looking for the closest heavy object that I can swing freely.
