Hit and run on my FRS yesterday - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Sad news. My FRS was hit in the parking lot of my work yesterday. Rear bumper and right rear quarter took the hit. Lucky I was parked in view of a camera but couldnt make out a plate number on the car who hit me and they didnt leave a note! Dropped it off today to be fixed so hopefully it will all be good soon but still sucks!

People suck.

Oh for the love of.... why would anyone hit your car! Its so obvious that its SMEXY and doesn't need to be driven near. Hopefully you get the insurance money and get the guy/girl that did the hit and run! Get well soon FRS!

BURN THE HERETIC

I hate people that hit and run!

There's a lot of envy out there towards FR-S owners!

What's up with that??!

shadoquad · 06-29-2012, 09:21 PM

I'd bet it was pure incompetence or negligence rather than envy or malice.

And then they drove away like scared children.

Sometimes I wish I was one of these people, the type that couldn't possibly give less of a damn about an automobile. The type of people who hold their multiple thousand dollar vehicle in the same regard as their refrigerator and their dishwasher. The type of people that buy the most beige, numb, and disconnected vehicle on the market because they prefer not to be distracted by the road while they mindlessly chatter away on their cell phones about nothing of consequence. The type of people who think that big, heavy, lumbering vehicles are the greatest thing since sliced bread, not because you can avoid accidents in them altogether, but because you can simply plow through them.

Then I realize what bleak, dull lives that these types of people must live and I start to feel sorry for them - until I'm handed the bill for the repairs that they necessitated.

I have a video and I was clearly parked at least 5 spots from any other car. Someone was checking it out and straight up hit it....then just drove off.

Insurance is taking care of the whole thing but still a pain in the ass. Stuck driving a Volvo station wagon for at least 10 days.

eriktherod · 06-30-2012, 03:15 PM

Was it a black 350Z? Kidding. That does suck though!

I'm always worried that I'll park next to somebody who doesn't care and come out to see something bad and them gone.

Do you have pictures of the damage?

DarrenDriven · 06-30-2012, 03:35 PM

member "Zach" also had his car hit two days ago here in Portland. Just a small dent in the fender, but no less annoying!

Post that video up!
