    Where I live, there's no such thing as a driveway.

    So about 3 months ago someone by a church backs into my car.
    Door, rear panel.

    Problem is the paint is insanely expensive.

    I still didn't get it fixed as the insurance was balking at the repair,
    and I'm not exactly cash city.

    So I come out a week ago, and guess what.

    Another motherfucker has backed into the SAME FUCKING spot.

    Now the door has to be replaced, and the rear panel.

    And this was also in front of a church after a service.
    What a joke, these people went to pray, and then ignored their own
    rules by crashing into me and ignoring it.

    And these people go to church seven days a week, I mean they are always in that damn building.

    On top of that I have to tear down the engine and fix some bullshit sensor
    that they decided was best mounted under the intake manifold.
    Meaning everything has to come off. Emissions geat, fuel rails, coolant tubes.

    So now I am looking at getting the car repaired and painted, but every single car on my block looks like someone played pingpong with it. I mean, you know how many times someone has to hit stuff to bend a license plate a FULL NINETY DEGREES?


    Basically my block is :

    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with caked brake dust
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with u shaped crush in the trunk
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT covered in dents front to back
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with non matching trunk / smashed tail light
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with front of car bashed up (battering ram)
    Nice clean car with the door backed into TWICE by a so-called person of God
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with full front to back scrapes down BOTH sides
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT never been wash / black wheels but it's just brake dust.
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT minivan, illegally parked 3 foot from the curb
    FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT with low tires and missing wheel covers on the front

    That's happened a few times to my parents, luckily each time the person was honest enough to stick their phone number on a bit of paper under the wiper. Backwards small town folk are good in some respects.

    Move. Keep hounding the insurance company. Get some legal help if you have to.

    I guess you could try to stick a paper on each side of your car "Please don't ram into my car (again)!!!" If you really want to make it specific for the church visitors you can add "you frog stoup" but they might get offended and I'm not sure it translates well from the french "grenouille de bénitier"

    Or you could try to find a garage... what kind of paint is there on your car? Is it a Mustang you got, I'm sure people run away because it could high up their premium...

    In any case this is not nice, especially if the people responsible for this do that after a church service...

    It's color shifting paint, it's about $10,000 to repaint the car!!

    oups yeah that is expensive, insurance wouldn't probably cover it as it might considered as modification to original specs but I could be wrong. There's ground for them to refuse a claim.

    If insurance does pay for it, it'd only be up to the price they have valued the vechicle at, which may or may not account for the premium paint, and there might be some massive rate hikes headed your way.

    With normal paint, they could just replace and repaint the damaged panels (yes, I am capt. obvious), but I'm guessing that with the color shifting, the whole car has to be done together otherwise it won't match.

    When you post the new burnout video, you should post the old one again for comparison since it is no longer available.

    Well thats a sad story. Why not request on Jobsearch/Monster for traniees to take a bang at coloring your car for exprience and some pay.

    There is nothing funny about this but why is it the moderators or big cheese of any forums car keep getting jacked.

    I mean another guys car was hit by a sledge hammer or something backed into it in LA and another front lights was broken on purpose in NY both are moderators.

    OE... you know who Kevin is. You aren't fooling anyone. If this "prune juice" guest is your work too (looking at the post times, and they way the posts talk to each other, I wouldn't be too suprised), I'd just like to say I'm pretty disappointed. If not, then fair enough... but don't play us for fools.

    I don't think threating ASSembler is the best answer to your problem, if he made a mistake or forgot something, I'm sure he'll resolve it, unless you are sharing only one side of the story...

    What is it with agressions against the people of this site, lately?

    Deal with your problems in a serious manner, mister "unregistered", or Go the fuck away.

    Really, man, being a ridiculous arsehole doesn't do your cause any good.

    Hah, you joined after oldengineer left. Your first post did this:

    ... starting a sentence with 3 full stops.

    I've never seen anyone else on the internet do that, but OE did it all the time. You also use the same slang "summat" etc, northern Enlgish style. You talked as though you inside contacts in British development companies, like OE certainly did. If you really are just a carbon copy of a member who happened to leave (rather ungracefully), accept my apologies.

    Seems like people can't stay gone from this place, though. Makes me wonder why they say they're going in the first place.

    Being offensive isn't exactly going to help your cause. If you're just here to fling shit around, then leave, it's getting tired: you've obviously run out of material, go play somewhere else. If you have a serious problem with Assembler that you feel really must be brought up in public, start behaving like an adult.
