Hi. Some of you might remember me from posts such as "Malicious Bastards!" I've been a member here for almost a couple years. Just not as active lately now that the forums are blocked by the proxy at work. Anyway...
A few weeks ago I posted about somebody maliciously keying the side of my car. Well hold on to your tighty-whiteys because you're not gonna believe this one! Today I'm at the barber shop getting my hair cut. As I'm getting the cut, I hear this weird crunch noise come from outside. I heard it, but it didn't really register in my brain. Then I see one of the barbers coming back inside. When I saw his face, I instantly put two and two together. He came in to tell me that he backed his behemoth sized F150 into the front of my car! I couldn't even get mad because my conscious instantly kicked me in the butt, reminding me what I thought about when I first pulled into the lot.
You see, I spied a parking spot between a huge Hummer H2 and some other vehicle. Me being me, my instant thought was, "why on earth would I even consider parking in that spot; especially considering there's this WHOLE ROW without a single car in it???" So I park in the empty row thinking I'd be fine. Heck, I even SAW the truck in front of me and left a plenty wide enough berth for it to back out and clear my car. But that ol' instinct of mine kept saying, "you should park over there beside that Hummer." But I kept saying, "no way in heck I'm parking next to that thing! that's a door ding begging to happen!"
DOH!!!
So without further delay, I give you Parking Lot Carnage:
And for a bit of irony, I just happen to have some pics that I took last year of those same angles.
I've had nothing but bad luck w/ this car. Every single time I say I'm gonna keep it for the long run, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO IT!

Yeah, that was good of him. And there might have been some instant karma in there. As he was on the phone w/ his insurance company, he got another call telling him that his house had been robbed. Though I don't take any gratification in that. Being robbed has GOT to suck worse than your car being banged.

I'm glad the damage was minor and it should be fixed easily and quickly (m-tech, just throwing it out there 
). Good luck
). Good luck

Not so minor...
Bumper, hood, grill headlight...

All body panels Ice, surely no frame damage from a parking lot wreck. (I would hope)

Its minor, cosmetically, but the repair cost will probably be astronomical.
