F'ing old people.. :(
Well a few days ago i drive to the post office to ship out some tie rods i sold from my 240. A Chevy truck pull infront of me, i wanted to avoild the olds denting my doors when they got off so i reversed in the spot across the street behind them. I finish sending the parts out and when i come out there is a ****ing whole in my bumper.. The guy driving the truck backed up and put his danm tow hood right throught the bumper and peaced out... 
good thing that he didnt hit the headlights or mess up my hood..
anyways, watch out for the olds and try to keep an eye out on your car as much as possible.

^^^^^^^^^^If "peaced out" means what I believe it means, the guy bailed without telling anyone. But if i were the OP, I would be hunting that truck down. Any security cameras that might have caught it? Will be tough to prove unless someone saw it happen.

Had someone crush my fender in a parking lot and drive off about a week before a car show I was entering... I was livid. I'd be asking for security tapes if they have any. Sorry to hear about it man...

Yeah because old people get in far more accidents than kids ... so that's why their insurance rates are less than a quarter of the kids ... quantity discounts? 
Normally you ought to be blaming the individual person rather than their racial, religion, age, or sex group. It makes you come across as so uncultured and bigoted.
I crashed more cars in my first three years of driving than over the next thirty.

I guess we "old people" get in accidents because we can't control our cars. For some reason the insurance companies seem to like us. I pay $500 per year for full coverage insurance for my Z. My Minivan costs an additional $400 per year.
I haven't had an accident that was my fault since 1961 and haven't had a traffic ticket since 1972. Stating that all "old people" can't drive is way out of line. I'm 66 and can still drive a manual with no problems.
Also, you might take a look at your spelling. The "whole" in your bumper was caused by a tow "hood". I don't know what they are teaching in schools these days.

ha ha, there really is a cut off point at which old folks have too slow of reactions, poor hearing or vision.. that make them pretty scary on the road.
thankfully, they've lived long enough to know/accept this, and tend to drive slower to compensate. I think kornercarve's got about ten to fifteen years left in him : P
doesn't sound like this post has anything to do with the age of the person who hit you though.

The accident rate for old people, which I classify as older than 60, is about the same per mile as young people (which I classify as under 25).
Total accidents is lower because old people drive less.
Both groups get in more accidents per mile than the middle range: 25-50 years old or so.

We "old people" are capable of driving much faster and better than you. We only drive slow to pi$$ you "little kids" off. LOL
How's it working?
P.S. After looking at your poor excuse for spelling and word usage, you might need a translator to read this to you. Go ask Mommy or Daddy if they'll help you out. LOL
