Smile Got scraped at lunch today

Went out to lunch... Beautiful day...
Parked in with the teeming masses, and thought, "Ah these spaces are pretty
wide--it should be ok" (normally I park at the edge of the world).
Go in, and order my food... take-out from Baja Fresh..
Come back out.....

What the CRAP!!!??
Idiot pulled in too close and scraped off 5 inches on my back, left bumper.
I waited for him to come out, and fortunately, he walked up just seconds
later. "We've got a problem", I say... I beat him up and stole his wallet
I got his insurance info, etc, and photos of everything...

So, any place that does superb painting in OC?? If it doesn't look like it
did the day I bought it, I don't want it.

bummer way to start the week-end.

Sorry to hear Brian.

I'm glad you were able to catch the person who caused the damaged though.

Sorry to hear that man... One tip: if you're really anal about the shop's work, if you tell them that you won't accept anything less than perfect, they'll just replace the bumper for you, since it will cost them more to repaint the bumper and then have to do it again when you're not satisfied

Hopefully won't have to replace it, but I really won't be satisfied
if it's not perfect...
