    Default Body damage from other drivers

    Hey everyone,
    Townsville.... I've had my car (96 VS II SS) since mid july this year. 3 days after I got it, I drove home got out and realised the drivers side rear bumper had a 3 inch crack in it on the corner... some *!explitive deleted!* had reversed into it while in the car park at work.
    A week later, I noticed a nice graze on the drivers side front bumper and spoiler about 6 inches wide... again someone scraped it, and pushed the drivers side bumper back out of alignment with the front fender, and broke the outer side of my headlight mount.
    2 weeks ago my brother comes up to me in the morning and asks if I'd hit something in my car... I ran out to look to find the front number plate was pushed flat up under the bumper... looks like a towbar took it out.
    Then today I'm giving it a wash and notice the rear passenger side bumper has been scraped aswell.
    So now I'm looking at quite a bit of money to get this all repaired... and I haven't caused any of the damage, and as usual no bastard would leave a note to say they're at fault.
    I'm getting REALLY over it.
    What others have similar stories... and which area do you guys live in?

    I've had my car keyed by someone. I know it was keyed because it was an up and down line pretty much spaced a pace long between peaks, if you can understand that. Who the hell keys cars in a church carpark??

    Other than that, had a chick run up my rear and once had a metal light pole fall on my car.

    Ha...that is the exact reason my clubsport is sitting under a blanket of dust...I havnt drove it for a couple of months.

    1.Doorlocks stuffed and central locking playing up and ignition barrel buggered after it nearly falling victim to car thieves while parked outside a mates house.

    2.Got a scrape on my rear wheelarch from an elderly person who couldnt reverse.

    3.Got backed into at carpark,one of the rear bar corners has a split now.

    4.numerous dings on my doors from people who find it challenging to open doors without hitting the car next to them.

    My solution....

    Have a serious dummy spit at last person who i caught opening their door onto my car,
    parked the old girl in the shed,bought myself an old beaten up lifted hilux 4runner with a huge bullbar,and drive that now....laying in wait at carparks for someone to bump into it....so i can park one of my huge BFG Mud Terrains on their ****ing bonnet
    Tasmania....Coz 2 heads are better than one...

    came out of my local supercheap store one day to find this.
    i noticed that it was under a security camera so went into the store to see if they could get a rego number and the pimply faced cockhead of a manager said those cameras don't work.
    the following week i had a nice scratch on the bumper under that from a shopping trolley

    About 2 weeks after I picked up my VH, it was nearly straight as an arrow, some ******** hit the rear bumper while it was parked. Pushed in the beaver panel and ****ed the rear bumper. About 4 months later some ******** in a high car (probably a soccer mum in a pretend 4WD that's never seen anything other than tar in it's life) had dinted the tailgate. ****ing low lives.

    after having photo's of my car taken for insurance to get fixed i had a driver back into the other side and smash up the quarter panel and headlight... its what you get parking in a general carpark/on the street. get used to it...

    my supra usually sits in a garage where no one can damage it

    my job is field technician servicing point of sale equipment, so my whole working day is spent parking in various carparks at shopping centres, etc.

    The work car is a 2008 Mitsubishi Triton (thats NOVEMBER 2008!) and thanks to the number of selfish idiots in the world it looks 10 years old for all the door and trolley dings. So far on three separate occasions people have actually opened their door into it WHILE I WAS SITTING IN IT, and have even once had someone throw their pickles from a maccas burger onto it.

    Naturally I hopped out and gave them an earful each time, and in each case they were very surprised to see me.

    Obviously if they had known I was there they would have been more careful, so why the **** can't they be "more careful" ALL the time?!?!

    For this reason, whenever I am out with the SV8, I'm making it a habit to park at the back of the carpark and just walk further... hopefully there are fewer cars there so people are less likely to park next to me.

    I've been racking my brain for years to try and find a way to get back at these ****ers but I just can't come up with anything
