I was gonna say I want X amount of my time back, but I'm not sure if I can quantify exactly how much time it took to read that error message. I think 2 seconds?

As an owner of many nice and well-maintained cars (including Corvettes) I am convinced that just like there are people (like me) who choose to park away from the herd and walk, that there are people who choose to park next to us just to solicit a response as demonstrated in this video.

I parked far away from everyone last weekend at the grocery store and when I came out someone had hit the front of my car and damaged the splitter, the front grill, and the very nose of the car (the bumper). No little piece of paper with their name or phone number, they just left. No video available of where I was parked, so it's looking like close to $2K in damage. People suck!

Almost as bad as the person at WalMart that hit our car, and left a note on the windshield with a fake telephone number... Really?

They left the note probably because other people saw them hit your car and this was there "out" of the situation.

Should be good. The other car's driver side door was on the other side, it would never hit the corvette. (unless of course he had a passenger.)
