Hit and Run

[makesdrivingfunagain]

Yeah, this actually happened to me a few days ago. I live in a decent neighbor hood, apparently not with the most decent people... I usually 99.5 percent of the time park in the garage, however, my Dad seriously, unexpectedly almost died of a heart attack. So I parked outside for a couple hours. Some not so nice citizen or person hit the front end of the car. It was about the size of a 5-7" circle. It was a brown, rust, type paint heavily scratched into my white FR-S. I thought initially a new bumper/front fascia and/or at least paint. I first was thinking a grand, at least. However, I can barely afford the car, so I made use of my microfiber towel with water. I rubbed ultra hard in very small movements about 1/2" or so. This was much pressure to the point where I could feel the plastic move/bend a little. After making a little "breakthrough" there was hope. I rubbed with such intensity I got a rather large blister. However, after approximately 15 minutes it went away. I then waxed a few times. You wouldn't know unless I told you where. It is about 99.7 percent gone. Idiots hits and ran in my nice white mustang also. They did this twice with that car.

I hope your Dad fully recovers.

Sounds like your car "rubbed out" OK....

hope your pops is fine, as far as the car goes its just bad luck. Hope it gets fixed soon

Thanks! I probably deserved though, revenge/luck/karma/Providence from my childhood caught up. lol

Glad yours polished out!

My car got hit-and-run in a restaurant parking lot but it scratched through to the urethane on the rear bumper and slightly cracked my passenger side tail light - which I noticed this morning now gets condensation inside it. I still had the dealer tag on it!
