My Poor Smart Car =(

So apparently someone hit my new car. Some cowardly SOB scraped the hell out of my back bumper, knocked out a plastic cap that used to be there… and then just drove off.  No note, no nothing.

I noticed it yesterday when I was leaving work. My best guess is that it happened when I was parallel parked somewhere, as I can’t see anyone scraping along my back left side like that when I’m parked in a regular spot, as the Smart is so tiny it’s usually way far into the spot and you’d have to be driving right into my spot to hit me.  But I could envision someone pulling out from being parallel parked behind me and scraping along the bumper.

I can also envision them burning in the seventh layer of hell, which I am sure is reserved for people who hit brand new innocent little Smart cars and then run off, leaving their innocent little owners to pay for the damage.

    boooo! A pox on the coward. Seriously – bummer (but I'd rather be you than them, given where they're headed – oh, and my dachsunds point out that they'll be the ones chasing them there).

    That really sucks Beth. New cars seem to attract those who cannot drive or park. I was rear-ended in my brand new red Subaru three months after I got it. I was not amused!

    Doctor (Car), heal thyself!

    Seriously, am terribly sorry to hear this. What a mean, nasty total stranger.

    Beth, I'm so sorry! That sucks. (Though I am a tiny bit relieved that this time the scrape wasn't due to MY ineptitude.)

    Karma is due to smack the jackass who did this. Go karma, go!
