    First real nice day of the year, took the car out to eat and see how my new (to me) magnum 500's looked and came out to find about an inch round ding and a chunk of paint taken out of my rear quarter panel.

    I parked away from everyone and next to a curb this guy in a van parked right next to me and opened one of his rear doors into my car. Luckily he was still there and I was able to get a police report filed. Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed its just going to be a pain in the butt I'm sure :(

    He didn't say much of anything. I walked out to the car he said "sorry I hit your car I'm on the phone with the police right now" I looked at it, mumbled a few choice words and turned around and sat on the curb and waited for the police.

    I didn't want to get mad, so I figured it was better for me to say nothing at all. I actually handled it better than I thought I would have handled something like that.

    That sucks but at least he sounds like a stand up guy. He could of taken off.

    Yea I kept telling myself it could have been alot worse. I just have to find someone who can fix it right. I just wish he could have parked in the 10 other empty spots around the car and not a foot from mine

    That's a real shame but you're lucky it was someone that didn't take off on you :(
