Angry Jealous ones still envy . . .

Man i just stepped outside and to my dismay some hood rat rammed a shopping cart into my Left taillight and totally smashed it and dinged the hatch and chipped a little paint. . . Man i am so pissed. . . Gonna go to dealer tommorrow and get replacement and some touch up paint. . . Dont think warranty will cover this; anyone know how much it will set me back. . . Man this is not fair i wish i could have caught that fool Next mod is definitely an alarm and a 45. It still would have happened i know; but at least i could have been alerted and had a running start on that *******.

Damn, Sucks to be you. Thats why I park far and away from other people. Dents and dings are my pet peeve. Not sure how much the tail light costs but I know it'll set you back quite a few.

I know what you mean about wanting to get revenge. It's like when someone stole my wifes car two weeks after spending $2500 on some rims for the car ('94 Civic EX). Then it happened again a couple of years later ('95 MIata). Now, no rims for the cars. Revenge would be sweet. O'well. Anyway maybe use a video camera aimed at your car to try and find that jack*ss.

Man, that totally sucks. Especially if you are making payments for the car. If that happened to me, I would be crying and soo pissed. Well.. I don't know about crying, but I would be REALLLY REALLY pissed.

Angry 200.00!!!!

Just went to the dealer and asked if i could get replacement taillight. It was $200.00 ($194.14) .. . . Looks real easy to install and even comes with the bulbs in already. Take care of those taillights. . . And if someone even looks at my P5 funny i am bashin that hood rats brains in.

Update: I also went down to the grocery store (Raleys) and talked to the manager he was real cool about it. Now comes the fun part; tryin to get money out of their insurance company. Hey someone is going to pay for this besides me. . .

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that. Hey orangealpha, might want to "take advantage" of this accident to get yourself some Altezza tail lights (if they're available) . They're probably like $200+ USD a pair.

Dang man, looks like someone took a shotgun to your taillight...Did you see the person do it? They would be paying for it 100%.

I NEVER park my car within 20 spaces of anyone else

man... that sure must have been one good hit if it was a shopping cart... did someone see it happen? I would have guessed a foot was involved (kinda like what happened to my car door in college... never park in the lot near the party houses ).
