Default Got Front Ended While parked!!!

Yup that's right... Just 2 weeks after my Friend Mike's 2004 Cobra got rear ended parked outside his house... the SAME DRIVER (next door neighbor) smashed into my parked vette yesturday! How stupid some people can be but this is crazy stupid! He has black cobra paint on his truck's nose and blue vette paint on his rear bumper. Well, the boat hitch smashed a hole in my nose, the bumper ran up over the nose onto the hood sending huge cracks all over the front facia! Ugh I'm P*SSED!!!!

Damage is around 5 grand and a months work. I'll have photos up later when my heart is frozen over enough to even point a camera at my hurt baby. Not a good week!!

I'd hate to be your neighbor's insurance agent. Sounds like the kids and dogs are not safe either. Good luck on the repairs. Sorry to hear that you have to go through it.

At what point is it reasonable to take someone's drivers liscense? I mean, this is a simple part of driving and the person is obviously having trouble... should he/she be allowed to drive on the wet freeways when the sun comes out? Or during rain storms, or in walmart parking lots??? ( )

Sorry about the ride man, Good luck getting it fixed.

Someone needs to drag this idiot outside and put a real beating on him. It's either that or break his legs so he can't drive..

When his car is out there, run it over with a backhoe...

Maybe I am crazy, but it almost sounds intentional. Cut off all four valve stems on the truck.
