i got hit and ran :'(

so i drove the evo over to my buddys house because its more reliable than my daily driver....

so i park it out on the street because their drive way is covered with trees and its hard to wash the sap and crap off my car.. oops...

well we went to hurricane harbor, and when we get back, i head home sunburnt and tired, i get out and WHAM! my bumper (JDM bumper BTW) is bent in, and the paint is all falling off everywhere, the bumper wasnt hard to fix, but it DEFIANTLY needs paint.

i left the car in an gated, extremely rich neighborhood where a few cowboys, and billionaires live... you think they would have the decency to put a note on my car or something! i think it was their lawn mowing service though... cause if they dont have green cards, they split... bastards

That sucks man!!!!!

At least its just the bumper.... thats a lot better than major body work....
You can try and talk Tim into fixing the paint....

I crashed my lancer like 2 weeks ago... I bought a new Jetta TDI to replace it.... I highly recommend one for a daily! I found two used ones here locally for a good price the other day an 06 and an 04.

That suxs but if you suspect the lawn care people contact the property manager and find out what company does the lawn work there and then contact them and tell the company one of their drivers did a hit and run.

Match up the paint transfer to the color of the lawn care vehicle.

The good news is that at least it was the bumper and not the door or hood.

At least now you have an excuse to get a JDM 9 bumper if you don't already have one. That's what I would do.
