Unhappy Nothing for free...

So... I polish and zaino my car and went to AAMCO to get a SES light checked for free. Guy checking the car makes sure to park it in the very back so no one messes it up. He parks it behind the manager's car. Manager goes out, gets in his car, backs right into the front of my car.

Stupid SUV not only scratched up the entire front, but also made a major downward dent in the hood.


.... !!!!!!! Can you believe this is the 3rd time my car's been damaged without me in it? Once, parked on a street and some girl took a left out of her parking lot into the side. Then, someone broke my window for no apparent reason, now this. !!!!!!!!!

Default Update!

Okay, here are the before and after pics. Actually the body shop where I took it too fixed parts of teh hood and front that were damaged from other stuff (some bird doo that went through the clearcoat from a previous owner, and scrapes on the underside of the nose from a curb).
