Default people cant drive

So i was at a predeployment briefing today and I come out to my car and I immediately notice my car is jacked up. They could not report it as a hit and run because there was no witnesses. Sucks because as you can see 3 different things got hit and well this is the first blemish on the car. I'm pissed and well its gotta stay that way until i get back in march. I filed a claim and told usaa that I cant fix the car until i get back due to leaving very soon. Worst part was ttops were off and windows were down and the person didnt leave info or anything, so much for parking a car on base.

That sucks man, you may want to send CamaroJunky a PM for the place he had his repaired, they did an awesome job on matching the paint, its the same color as yours and his car was imaculate before someone hit him and still you cant even tell it was ever hit.

dude, sorry this happend to you. Just make sure when you get it fixed you take it to a good body shop and let them know you are very particular about it and want it perfect. no half assed jobs and i've learned most places with "hookups" dont pay very close attention to detail. I've had to have additional body work done after I picked a shitty one. That hurt the walley more than just getting it done right the first time.

I would get a few friends together to become "witnesses".

Measure a few cars, come to a consensus, report.

Military spouses at their best. I have seen more than my fair share of that.

What a ******* POS whoever did that to you. I had this happen to my last car. I owned it a week and a drunk driver or someone tired [ it was early morning ] sideswiped my car...and didn't stop.

That morning was awesome! /sarcasm

dont think it was a military spouse because of the location. The only people in the parking lot I was in either work at the shop or were there for a predeployment briefing. Most likely it was someone in the same room with me
