I pulled in but I was skeptical about it since I always parked so far away with my X. I realized the person next to me was leaving and the spot to my right was open. I figured I'd wait and see who parks next to me since I knew it wasn't going to be long. Some stupid young girl driving with two guys whips her little old jetta into the spot and the guy that gets out of the back hits my car with his door. I couldn't believe it, I was heated. I jumped out of my car and approached these kids while they were walking away. I snapped so quick as they acted like their shit didnt stink and kept saying they didnt do anything. Luckily, this girl's rear door opened up right onto the rear fender flare that the 4.8is has. Since it is that plastic-like material it didnt leave a mark, I was so surprised and happy but it still got me pissed. I have always parked far far away from everything ever since. I felt like spitting all over this girl's windshield but figured karmas a bitch.... and remembered my mom's saying, "if you lay down with the pigs your gonna get dirty." haaha!

great point about parking. I always park far away. unluckily when my car is up at school it is very difficult to find a spot far away from people.

I used to have a 1998 Infiniti I30t, and i remember i parked at a friends house near my hs because my junior year at highschool i was not allowed to park on campus. Anyway, there was construction going on at the house, and i came out to my car with a HUGE dent on the front quarter panel, with a piece of wood right below it. clearly it was from that, i was stuck in a moral dilemma because they were nice enough to let me park there, but they damaged my car. I just let it slide because i hated that car anyway. It still made me upset because the person who did it clearly knew that they did. And to make it worse, that same day that car got stuck in the mud they made me park in. definitely not one of the better days.

I have a question about insurance and OEM parts. My quote says that they will replace the front bumper with a refurbished OEM bumper. I know my car is eight years old and has over 100,000 miles, but I maintain it pretty darn well and overall it is a very clean car. The Hartford rep told me they only use new OEM parts if the car is less than about two years old and has under 20,000 miles. Does this sound right and/or typical? Am I being anal because this bothers me a little?

Anyway, I dropped the X off at this place today;

Magnum Collision Repair Center

They are the preferred repairer for Atlanta's biggest BMW dealer as well as even higher end dealers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and others. I get the feeling that this place is more than capable of replacing a bumper and aligning a fender.
