Bummer. Similar thing happened to me in my last ride. Parked it in a lot with a slope, came back a few hours later and the car was gone. Found it on the otherside of the lot with a cone l;odged up in the wheel well preventing further motion. It rolled through 3 rows of parked cars without touching anything. My luckiest moment of my life and I wasn't even there to see it.

All this chit about putting the car in gear makes me wonder. While getting head in my car I would always try to put it in gear and let the brake down. But my car would always move. Fukin annoying. Must've been fuked up.

As long as the wheels check out good, everything should be good to go by Monday/Tuesday. Got a replacement Momemtum exhaust but it won't be in for a few weeks.
I pray they do a good job painting and I don't have a horror story to post lol.

If they are repainting the entire back half of the car + side skirts + front bumper I would ask if I could chip in a bit more and paint the rest of the car. Unless of course you believe the body shop can match it well.
Also, why did you tow it out of there on a flat bed? There is a tow hook in the hatch that threads into the front bumper behind that billet grille. I would have called a buddy and said "hey man I'm a fcuktard and my car is teetering, bring a tow strap".
Did you have the police there just to have an official report for the insurance? I'm not trying to razz you here, just curious.

Lol If I would have towed it out myself the damage would have been 10 fold, the way it was sitting the flat bed was actually the best thing that could have happened, along with a couple floor jacks and some wood.
Not really in my budget to paint the rest of my car and I am in a time constraint at the moment.

This makes me worry about my car as my parking brake is terrible right now =/
Hope the paint job comes out decent.
Gotta picture of the spot it rolled down out of? Must have been rollin good to hop over the curb and all.
