Default Well Daveykid your hood finally got to my car, was parked in front of Sedgewicks and some

guy who admittedly said he doesn't drive downtown much, in a civic decided to do a 'y' turn in the street and didn't see my car. Fortunately a group of us were there and we had been outside several times talking with the guy at the door so several people (my friends) saw it and got me. Rear drivers side door has a nice not huge but still substantial dent. 2 1/2 years no damage other than 2 little door dings. Should be interesting to see if the Daytona Gray can really be painted and blended not to see it. Doubt it. Headed to my own body shop recommendation that people have been posting lately. F'me. What ever value that was still in the car just evaporated. Can that be claimed somehow on the dude's insurance.

you can be compensated for "diminished value" but, you have to be able to prove your case which isn't that easy

Default You live in the city dude. Didn't you ever hear of a taxi before?

Should have done what Press does - coded my gate opener for my house and parks in my driveway.

Default That sucks. FWIW O'Hare Auto Body matched my blue metallic perfectly.

Don't forget to go after the other guy's insurance for diminished value for now having been painted.

I like driving too much but oh well. Surprised it hasn't happened sooner but does suck.
