Unhappy Guess what I woke up to today...

...a call from the University of Alabama Police. At first I was afraid they'd call to issue a warrant, but it got worse from there. They told me my car had been hit and an officer was waiting for me in the parking lot to file a report. At least the guy that hit me stayed and fessed up instead of running like the last ***** that hit my car. My week just KEEPS getting better...

Whoa man sorry to hear... though your week has been bad, this could've been worse... glad to hear that the guy stayed around to 'fess up. This virtually NEVER happens...

Since it's going in for repairs, maybe it's time for lambo doors.

you should send that guy a thank you note, very rare that some one would stick around.

There pretty much is nowhere "far away from others". Parking is in short supply here on campus, but I do the best I can... I thought I had a good spot. I normally park there, and the avalanche normally parks where he was today too, I guess he just screwed up today...

That sucks but at least it looks like he only hit the door panel.Give the guy credit for being honest.That was very surprising in todays society.

At least the damage is isolated to just the door. Maybe you can get yourself some carbon fiver doors? 8-)

It doesn't really look THAT bad, plus the guy was honest. $hitty way to start your day, for sure, but it could've been a lot worse. Its still completely drivable. . .

The road to higher education sometimes results in a dented car......


The damage is minimal thank goodness, it can be put back into shape in no time. Ya gotta give the guy credit for being honest.....I know it is a hassle to find your car dented, but at least it will go against the other guys insurance for a change.

I remember the story of the guy who goes into the parking garage and finds a huge dent in his front bumper along with a folded note on his windshield.

The note said:

I just backed into your car and ten people saw me do it. They think I am leaving my name and address on this note.............but I'm NOT!
