Default Well..... This sucks!!!!

Took my monte To a job site today and I parked it on the street, came back to it 6 hours later and I noticed I have a huge (actually giant) dent on my right fender, hood took part of the blow too, no notes no info on who did the damage and no cameras (cctv) Where I parked. This honestly sucks. I don't have full coverage insurance on the Monte (not worth it for the prize the insurance wants to charge me) and now i'll have to suck this one up. Well I gutless now i'll be on the look out for a set of fenders, hood and bumper. (Pics i'll post tonight when I get home) but in all honestly this really sucks @$$ I love my little Monte and I want to maintain a clean un damaged look On it.

Ps. If anyone near the chicago area would like to trade a pair of front fenders, hood and bumper for a complete highsport package plus some money on my end let me know. (PRIVATE MESSAGE ME PLEASE). The sport package I'm offering will need all hardware to mount it and the rear bumper extension right corner needs to be repaired it's cracked half way on the corner.

Aw man, that sucks! People can't have nice things without someone spoiling it. Either the person who hit you is completely clueless, in which case they shouldn't be driving. Or the person is a gutless coward who doesn't want to take responsibility for their actions. They can try to justify it all they want. It's called "hit and run". Plain and simple.

That blows. They could have at least left a note with information if they are going to hit a car. People now a days just don't care and treat cars like they would treat any other appliance.

I think it's probably someone who's had too many insurance claims already. Can't afford another accident claim, or maybe doesn't even have insurance, and just bolted outta there before anyone noticed.

The brown marks are tape I had to use to hold the headlight in place. I think something high hit me a van or suv maybe.

Holy crap, that's way more damage than I was expecting when I read your initial post. Looks like the entire front clip got it. It's pathetic how many people in today's society refuse to take responsibility for their actions and have zero care/respect for other people and their things. This is why we can't have nice things.

lol I said it sucks! Both sides of the bumper have damage actually... Not sure how the left side was hit but bumper is cracked and hood too a little.

Thankfully I have some aluminum zip ties to hold everything in place for now... Not sure how much this is gonna cost to fix but i'll wait till summer so if I do decide to take it apart and replace the body parts ill have the m5 to drive...
