Anyone seen worse parking than this?

alpina527 · 05-10-2011, 04:07 PM

Came back to my car on Sunday only to find this! Is it close enough?

GOLFFRR · 05-10-2011, 04:08 PM

omg!!! i would have been pissed!

Seattle S65B40 · 05-10-2011, 04:09 PM

WOW! I would be so pissed! you have to figure he made contact with it that close...

MikeyBMWM · 05-10-2011, 04:29 PM

hahahahha, sorry about that, but I couldn't deter

You'd unlucky

Brandon26pdx · 05-10-2011, 04:33 PM

Oh no...time for a bumper bully

ksoze · 05-10-2011, 04:34 PM

Just be glad you get there before they came back and loaded the hatchback.

ES_TRADER · 05-10-2011, 04:43 PM

Yes, I was pissed.

There was a crease on my bumper, so I waited for the Woman to return. She flat denied that she had hit my car and called me an opportunist for trying to scam her for some paintwork

I called a cop over to witness her parking for my insurance claim, but he didn't want to know.

Luckily when the woman got home and told her husband and showed him some photo's he phoned to tell me to get an insurance quote.

It's going into the main dealers next week for a new bumper.

This is precisely why I try to avoid parallel parking at almost all costs. Sorry to see this.

fortressmaximus · 05-10-2011, 05:20 PM

Too many people perform the dreaded "bumper test" to see if they backed up enough!

GnokGnik · 05-10-2011, 08:53 PM

I would throw a rock/chip their paint and leave satisfied with revenge

It's just rude to park that way...people naturally will check where they park and how far they are from the next car...so to leave their car parked with that small a space is basically a slap in your face.

Gkap · 05-10-2011, 08:57 PM

WOW id be so pissed.

maybe kick a mirror off and be on your way? lol Im just jking.

rye m3 · 05-10-2011, 09:02 PM

New bumper?!?! Dude, you've obviously never been to Manhattan. Most people parallel park by the Braile method! They have new bumper covers you can put on to prevent "bumper rash". Any car surviving on the streets of Manhattan needs to be cleaned and resprayed after a trade in. I'm sure many people can post a pic of a typical Manhattan car bumper. Here NO ONE would give you the time of day for such a bumper "kiss".

IFX · 05-10-2011, 09:09 PM

new bumper?

jeez.. relax dude. You do not need a new bumper.

Miami M3 · 05-10-2011, 09:14 PM

Same thing happened to me, but as hard as I looked I couldn't find any sign of contact. Guess I got lucky. Total douchebaggery.

Bumpers are meant to be bumped? That's why they call it bumpers? So in essence, it's just doing it's job

ThunderMoose · 05-10-2011, 09:48 PM

Maybe this one?

JonnyM3 · 05-10-2011, 09:54 PM

I would kill someone for something like this

tlp · 05-10-2011, 09:56 PM

Perhaps an opportunity to get a bumper cover without headlight washer warts.

PINHEAD · 05-10-2011, 09:58 PM

worse?
i'd say thats fukin pro!!!

ooowowizstev · 05-10-2011, 10:09 PM

I always wonder what goes on in these peoples heads when they decide to leave their cars parked like that. Not even going to try to hide it... boss.
