Default Hit the Z

Somebody did it now...... they hit the camaro while I was at the gym and the car was parked at home. They left pieces of their car behind and I have scuff marks all over the bumper. Someone came out and told me that he heard the crunch and saw that it was a black mercedes suv. They hit the car and then waited since the car alarm was going off. He said their car shouldn't be hard to miss since it has big pieces of it's bumper missing and that they live at the complex as well.

Seriously, if you can't drive in a parking lot, you shouldn't be on the road. When I find this person maybe I can get a paint job out of it.....

Your looking for a early model(1998-2005) Mercedes ML Class, that cover goes on the rear bumper, and it is from most likely a 2001-2005 model year. Hope that helps.


Inserted some pics for you.

Odd that since they did a hit and run that they stuck around while the alarm was going off. Good that they did though so you can track them down easier.

People suck.

kinda odd if you ask me that they stuck around, then didn't bother leaving a note to contact them.

Then saw the others and about bust out laughing. Wow. What kind of crappy plastic did Mercedes use on that thing? That's pretty sad.

Dude on that model ML we replace minimum 10 bumpers a month in our collision center, they are hard and brittle. But at least there isint much damage to your car.
