Default SOB hut and run

Ever look out your shattered side window and see the undercarriage of the car that just rode up onto your trunk?

Hopefully, you weren't hurt.

That looks horrible. Time to upgrade to Z06 side fenders.

What state are you in? Hit and run seems to be the California way.

Damn, that really sucks. Had one a few years back, not as bad and fortunately another driver got the plate number and called it in; turned out to be a drunk driver. The car can be fixed, hopefully you weren't hurt.

All the above plus, were you in the car when hit?

Obviously you're alright, but what're the details?

OP- It F'ing sucks, but at least you're ok. The car can be repaired.

Wanted confirmation my eyes read it right.

If a MFer rode across side of my Z I'd follow 'em to the ends of the earth 'til collared.
Unless undriveable STH wouldn't sit there watching him drive away w/o minimally getting plate#. Wouldn't you?

Need more info.

I've chased down a hit & run driver more than once. Every time I had police waiting for them down the road. It was very satisfying watching them being read their rights while being cuffed and stuffed in the back of a patrol car.

That freaking sucks! I hate hit and run. My son is dealing with that right now. Lady bumped him trying to get into another lane and drove off. He got a picture of her license plate and called the cops. Cops gave him her insurance information but her insurance won’t pay because she won’t call them back. The police that are investigating the crime can’t get hold of her so now he’s got to ID her from a photo line up and if he can’t then he’s out the money to repair his car. So in essence, he’s more than likely out $1100 to get his car repaired and she gets off free. Fucked up system.

I followed them off the interstate for about two miles when it became obvious there was something wrong with the car. On closer examination the rear wheel was tilted inward at a pretty steep angle.

Thanks to all for the concerns. Aside from cuts on my arm and hand from the glass I'm ok. Maybe I'll call one of those personal injury lawyers......

I will say that considering the impact, the panels stood up great and the door and trunk gaps are good.....Not bad for fiberglass....
