I got hit!!!!
by a class act who decided to leave!!!
It isn't at all bad. A very small dent and some spider cracking in he paint by the front license plate. It doesn't look that bad now but I figure when I clean and polish it then it will really stand out. The dirt and rain marks are kind of hiding it now.
From what I understand the Tigershark will not work wiha Vararam, correct? Is there any other aftermarket options that will work with a Vararam? I just want to know my options before decide what to do.
Thanks

I got hit last night as well. Was sitting at a stop light and for no reason at all an SUV driver from Canada decided he wanted to back up .....WHY? I have no idea.... said something about his wife seeing a store.....GRRRRRRR!
So I have to have the nose painted. Got all his info so I'm hoping this doesn't turn into a pain in the ***.

Sorry to hear about it. People just don't care anymore period! What's even more sickening is that's my generation and my children's generation.

Congratulations...you have just been introduced to a class of people known commonly as "TRASH". These are the same folks that repeatedly assault other peoples' autos with numerous door dings and the lowest of which "key" other people's cars. Possible cause being low esteem resulting from lack of parental guidance and lack of proper "correction" techniques when they were children. Sorry Man..
lol kidding that sucks, hopefully it's fixed soon

Mmmmmm... I just posted last week that some a$$wipe did a hit and dissapearing act on me as well. Put a 10 to 12 inch crack in the lower left corner of the nose. Cost to "replace" the nose: $2,000. My deductable $500. I had to forego a Shark nose because of my short/steep driveway. Good luck to you.
How many of us does that make now?

I've always made it a habit to stop at red lights/stop signs at least 2-3 car lengths behind the car in front of me. That gives me some room to maneuver if I see the car in front backing up (you do have to pay attention to what's going on though). It gives me a little cushion to maneuver if I see the driver behind me not slowing down.
I wish the drivers behind me would do the same thing...

I know what you are talking about! I hate it when stopped at a light and a car comes up within inches of the back of my car. That bugs me! I always stay back, so that I can make a quick maneuver if needed. One time I was stopped at a light minding my own business, when two teenage girls came up behind me and stopped a little close. All of a sudden bamb! They hit the back of my truck. I got out of the truck and walked around the back to see if there was any damage. There wasn't, just a little scuff mark. I walked up to the drivers window and asked what the heck was going on. 
The teenage girl looked me straight in the eye and said " I didn't hit you, you backed into me!"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! There was no damage, so I drove off shaking my head in disbelief.
