Definitely done on purpose. I have my newly installed dash cam set to stay on for the max of 10 minutes after exit. Wish the cam had a on for 30 minutes.

Not sure if was on purpose or not. Once I was sitting with a buddy in his parked car in a almost empty parking lot when all of a sudden a guy sideswiped his Mustang. It looked a lot like your damage. He probably would have ran if we weren't there. His excuse: He said, "for some reason I just lost control." The way people are distracted now a days anything is possible. Personally I doubt it was on purpose. Too many possible witnesses. People run into parked cars all the time. Myself, I have had 2 of my parked cars run into.

Was the car parked with the front or back next to a curb or was it just parked out on the open? Looks like someone just drove by, not like they drove in, parked and then backed out?

Painful to see.

SUV or truck maybe?
The scratches are pretty high up on the car.

OP - damn that sucks.

Very sorry this happened to your Vette.

This is why I won't take my collector cars on errands to the store. Just sucks that you cannot count on others not to damage your car when you park it in a parking lot. Whether it is negligence or intent, the result is the same...

Hope you get your car fixed up and looking great soon!
