Well, I figured out how the rear bumper got ****ed up.

When I left work Thursday of last week, I parked in a spot I never park. (I usually park far away, people think I'm crazy, now they know why!!). When I left, there was a grey grand prix within a FOOT of my car. Didn't think much of it.

Today I saw the same car in the parking lot. Sure enough, there are scuff marks/scratches on her front bumper where she swiped mine!! One co-worker knows the owner, so I'll talk to her tommorrow and get that straightened out!


I'm more worried about that front fender, why it's bulged out so much!! I'll get more picks tommorrow morning for you "revving9k".

I agree, however I needed tires MOUNTED on my wheels. This is something I have to have someone else do.

I do everything myself to my car like I stated previously (other than the clutch).

Update:

I went to the place that installed the tires and messed up my fender. All the mounting points/bolts are fine. I didn't even think of this, but the fenders are made out of aluminum, and I'm sure it doesn't take too much force to bend them. That's exactly what happened. The manager said he'd take car of the work to get it back to normal! Good news!!

Bad news:

The lady that hit me is completely obvlious as to what I'm talking about. Denying everything. Plus she has insurance from Ontario, Canada. So I'm assuming she doesn't even have a drivers license or insurance from SD. This probably means I'm ****ed? I don't know, but I'm calling my insurance tomorrow and probably filing a police report. We'll see what happens with this...

You don't think that with the pressure being put on it, by jacking it up wrong, wouldn't bend the aluminum fender?

You never mentioned that he admitted to racking it up wrong. Either way,

They or he didn't really admit to anything, but I'm 99.99% sure now that's what happened!

call the cops on her. Get a report and then you can call her insurance.
But if it was in a private property you might have a problem with that.
