I have owned my 1998 Taurus SE for about 5 years now and have had no accident or have not had anyone hit it. Well the streak ended today. I was at CompUSA and was inside for a total of 5 minutes when I heard my alarm going off. I ran outside to see nothing but my lights flashing. There were no cars around mine since I parked way out and I did not see anyone speeding away. As I walked up to the car I noticed that someone had clipped my driver's side rear bumper. Didn't really hit it but just bumped and scrubbed it enough to rip all the damn paint off. Anyways, I'm pretty pissed and really wished I would have been out there when the a****** tried to pull away. I'll never understand why people are so inconsiderate. It probably will not cost all that much but its the principle of the fact. Heres some pics of the damage.

Yeah Happy Holidays! I hate people who do that hit and run stuff. A few years back I see a big ole black Caddy do the same thing to an Explorers rear quarter panel outside of Sears. This middle age guy gets out of the Caddy looks at the dent, checks to see if anyone spotted him then the SOB jumps in and drives off. I'm in my car when this happens so I hop out and get the Caddy's plate #. I leave a note on the Explorer's windshield with my phone# and the Caddy's plate #. I let him know I'd be a witness if need be.
The guy in the Explorer calls me up a couple of days later. Turns out the Cops had just arrested the guy driving the Caddy for Drunk Driving when he called in his hit and run. He goes on and says the cops took measurements of his car and compared the paint scaping on both vehicles. The accident investigator says its a real obvious case. Heres the catch......... the hit and run driver of the Caddy was a Judge! I was never contacted by the cops or anyone else. It wasn't even in the papers. I figured the Explorer got his car fixed at the very least tho!
