Default Looking for car that hit me...help me out guys

I'm actually looking for this red ZX2 that has a for sale on it. Reason I ask is because this car hit me backed into me and took off before i could get the pl#. Only thing i did see on back bumper was MB customs. You guys ever hear of them or see this zx2 it has this huge *** whale tail spolier on it. Pisses me off cuz he hit my new 05 Mustang!!!

I guess it's a sporty escort redesigned. Sorry to hear about your car!! Yea I feel ya I am really pissed off too. People need to learn how to drive around here.

I did a search in yellow pages and didn't come up with the shop name "MB Customs" If you guys heard about it HOLLA BACK..

My thoughts exactly... I'd call it the "ub3r r0x0r ricer boy sticker mod". Good for at least 20 hp and guaranteed to sag your pants in the crotch and make it physically impossible to wear your hat straight on your head.

What area of town were you in? We are spread out all over so I'am sure if anyone sees a red Escort with a picnic bench straped to the trunk & MB Custom sticker we'll try and get you a plate number.

2005 Mustang great looking car how do you like it?

I'm on the eastside. Kirkland area. Yea if you guys see it let me know. I would really appreciate it. That picture I added was a close idea of that the POS ZX2 looks like.

The 05 is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. I just need to get some minor work done to the front end where the car backed into me.

I live in kirkland. I will keep my eyes open for the schmuck.

The other day I saw a black 05 Mustang in Juanita. He was all black with tinted windows and chromed out everything. It looked sa-weeeet (and I've never been into dime-a-dozen Mustangs).
