Default Hit in parking lot

just wanted to share my pain. yesterday morning a delivery truck that was parked next to me backed out and turned his wheel to soon. the front bumper ( which is like a steel hook) dug right into my drivers side door. left a big dent and two holes where the intrusion bar is in the door. $1350.00 for new door shell and install.
it was a Tastykake truck and while we are waiting for the cops the guy says he feels real bad and offered me a cake. i had to walk away from him before i really lost my cool.

Similar incident happened to me. I was in a parking lot, waiting to exit when a guy in a truck backed into me (right rear quarter panel). He initially denied hitting me but it was eventually resolved. My car is in the shop for three days and I am driving a Mitsubishi Galant.

I am sorry, I truly feel your pain, but....


The tastykake part is killing me with laughter. I can just imagine the moment when he offered the cake and the look that you gave him.

However, I really do feel for your Z. Mine got a tiny door ding in a coffee shop parking lot and I nearly flipped.

You are very lucky actually. You're car will be good as new. How many people have gotten hit but weren't there to witness it???

Sorry about the trauma though.

Don't settle for a case. Go for a lifetime supply of Butterscotch Krumpets and peanut butter TandyCakes. Now that's good eats!!



Sorry about your car, though.
