Then he sped off!!! I am so beyond pissed right now. There’s no scratch but he hit the apex on the front bumper and now it’s slightly malformed. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH

How many shots did you fire off at him? J/K

...Sorry to hear that, I would also be totally pissed beyond belief!
Which brings me to the idea of getting a front and rear dash cam when I eventually take delivery of a new car. There are multiple choices out there with prices even being quite reasonable, a learning curve, though. Perhaps we can start a forum discussing our options, styles, functions, etc. It does bring some kind of "peace of mind" to have some documentation if while you were parked, something like this happens.

Even if he were caught it wouldn’t matter. He was a dirty looking old man getting into a rusty 30 year old Malibu. I would be shocked if he even had insurance…let alone money to pay for it.

Hate to hear this happened, but a stark reminder that we choose our cars with high ideals and then we have to drive on rough roads with the general public.

Which is why these cars from the lower financial orbits are so appealing. They deserve all the care we can give them but we have to accept that real life will take it’s toll. Higher dollar cars deserve a higher standard towards perfection and bring more stress into our lives.

My vehicle to venture into real life near home nowadays is a 2003 Tacoma. Super capable and super low stress. Like a favorite pair of jeans.

Great explanation of why I enjoyed driving my 2013 Ford C-Max to the gym last night. That car is for sale, but I will kind of miss it...
