That sucks, but don't go hating red cars just for that. Red is a wonderful color.

Umm, If it was in a school parking lot, try with the school security. It is a possibility they have cameras all over the place and they have it on video.

You could always post a reward in the area for any leads that lead to finding out who did it... You could do a $100 reward.. maybe someone saw something and would be willing to say something for a reward...

I would interrogate everyone within a 50 mile radius of the school and who ever did it would have a few broken limbs if I ever found out.I had someone back into my car while I was parked on a side street during one of the Gratiot cruises in Roseville ( I HATE Roseville with a passion). Anyways, my wheel looked exactly like yours does! Fortunately that's all the guy hit was the wheel and he left his information at my aunt's house.I park as far away from everyone as physically possible, and if possible I park with the curb on one side of the car and close to it as I can get without hitting it. Don't worry she's still pretty

I'm SO sorry to hear that. I hope you have no deductible on your insurance! I was mad as h@77 when the rock (?) hit my windshield. I know how it feels to have something new and nice and even though you're careful, it's always some idiot that's gotta go and mess it up.Hope you can get her back to pristine condition soon!and WaveResponder, it's usually co-workers that do the windshield-wiper-stand-up thing, isn't it?

I didn't know that God drove a red car. I know at least one genvibe god that does.

I'm so sorry! You'd think that if someone hit a car they wouldnt continue making it worse. Everyone makes mistakes, but for real, if you hit something... stop, back up a little and try again. Geesh! Who is teaching these kids how to drive!I hope that you can get it all fixed and insurance is nice about it and you get it all shiney and new looking again soon!! Good Luck!

That sucks the big one.... It IS just a car though (yeah, tell that to this guy that has a "summer only" SUBARU of all things) I know that doesn't make it any better... I am sorry... But hey, now you have a set of WINTER WHEELS (which you should promptly get snow tires for) and you should be looking for something nice to replace them for SUMMER...!!!

If it was on campus grounds they should have parking lot cameras....mine did and you could go to university police and ask them to review the tapes.

I wish they cared that much. all the school cares about is how many tickets they can give out per hour and how much they can up tuition this semester. Cause the 9.6% increase this year wasnt enough!!! sorry, end of rant, lol

Just yesterday we got an inch, and the roads were fine, but I hit an overpass that was on a slight curve, went from the left lane over to the right lane in NO time... it's been a LONG time since i've felt out of control in a car... this was one of those times, freaky stuff.. Yeah, and I hope my comment didn't come off wrong... I know FULL well what it's like having your nice new baby messed up but some asshat in a parking lot... I was just trying to point you to the bright side... We still on for Sunday?
