Default Happy Birthday to me...Some idiot hit my car!

So ..... Some idiot just hit my car. About 20 minutes ago. It was parked outside my house. I don't know how he managed to hit it. Unless his car was sliding in the snow or he was not paying attention and is just an idiot.

It looks to me like the Tail Light, bumper, and possibly the hatch and the fender will need to be replaced.

My birthday was 2 days ago. Happy 21 F u! Thank god he had insurance. In the first picture the pieces of the tail light are sitting on the hatch of my car that I picked up off the ground.

It is when you've been wanting one. That's if he's been wanting one or wants one of course.

idiots are everywhere, Z owners have to be extra careful when driving because people tend to stare and lose track of who's lane their in. 2 days after the 21st that would suck though

I agree, thank goodness he had insurance. Here, half the time they don't even have a license, much less insurance, or anything else.

I agree for the most part, but i think it would be a good opportunity to get a new bumper, one that preferably doesnt have those reflectors, but something that still looks really similar to the stock bumper.

Damn man, sorry that this happened, on your birthday no less.

At least you got his insurance info.

BTW...I've got an extra set of 03-05 lights in my garage, I'll sell you the passenger side really cheap if needed. PM me.

Sorry to hear that, I live in IL and my Z is in storage due to the weather. ONE thing I do make sure is all the cars in my family are park on the driveway not on the street to prevent accident like that. You are lucky it wasn’t a hit and run because 90% of the time you will never find the person.

That sucks, especially since it was just parked in front of your house.

these are the kinds of things that make me nervous about parking on the street. Good luck with the fix man.
