Angry "betty!"

tonight as i'm walking to my car in the WaWa parking lot, some guy rolls his window down and asks me " Hey!... did you always have that dent in your door?... i replied "Dent... what are you talking about ... and i turn around and BLAM! there is this massive dent in "betty's" driver side door... He told me when he pulled up, there was a mini van backed up to my car. after they left, he noticed the dent and thats when i came walking out... i call the police and while waiting for the officer the mini van full of carrying on kids pulls up. she told me she left because she didn't have all of her up to date insurance info and went home to get it... it's been a long day...

--Tom--
be as careful as you want, something will still happen..

It's hard to get mad when somebody does the right thing and comes back. Now it's your decision to tell the officer weather it was a Countach, Gallardo, or Murcielago.

hopefully you are able to "cash out" if you can fix it and do what you want to the car. a lady hit me and left a note, i got a couple of qoutes and she paid me the that i wanted which was the cheaper one actually, i know the shops reputation which didnt matter i guess in reality because i fixed it myself. i used the extra money for some mods that i have been wanting to do for a while.

seriously tho, the lady came back... thats like... holy **** nice man...

sucks about your car but, you know its a simple fix. My buddy parked his WRX in a lot one day and some ******* who was messing around with his friends hit it doing 75 when he lost control cause he obviously had no idea what he was doing.

I saw something like this on campus a couple days ago, some lady was unloading her crap from her Audi and had her door slammed so hard into the minivan you could not see the edge of her door. As if it was inside the minivan door. I wanted to leave a note for the person in the minivan with said ladies license number and stuff but I had to get to class and didn't have time to write it down. Feel kind of guilty about that now though

Good thing she came back, I guess some people do have a conscience(sp?).

Sorry to hear about your car. It's great that the lady came back and did the right thing. It is, however, a sad state of affairs when we're all surprised by a genuine honest act because so few people are like that anymore
