Wow, what a tough break. Best of luck getting the car repaired. Any possibility that someone saw the jerk that did it?

Check with neighbors for any witnesses. Fill out an individual accident report that you can get from your local police and get a copy to your insurance agent. Take pictures before it goes to the shop and give copies to your insurance agent. Check for tell-tale paint from the offender left on your Vette to detect its color. Look around surrounding blocks of your neighbor hood for vehicles with NEW damage. Good luck with gettin it back on the road!

Accidents DO happen, but it seems more and more people just run -- like it's okay if you can get away with it.

Your car is beautiful! It's not like they couldn't see it! I know you were sick!! Maybe someone witnessed it?

I know you wll bet it fixed and back into perfect shape.. Good luck...

How in the hell does something like that happen and nobody see, hear anything? I have Gladys Kravitz for a neighbor... Nothing goes down in my neighborhood w/o her knowing.

Sorry to hear that buddy... GL!

Sorry for your troubles--life is tough enough without this crapola!!

When mine was hit I really worried--for nothing! It came back in Fantastic Condition! Amazing skills these painters have...

people panic or are afraid insurance will go up and then there is those that just don't care if they hit/damage someone's car.
