Oh the joys of living in a city where people THINK they know how to drive in the snow... Oh the joy.
Went out yesterday to have a bite with a friend downtown after work... Small snowstorm, maybe 3 inches of snow fell.... No big deal.
Parked my car then went on to my business. I came back 4 hours later to this.
Hit and run of course. Someone apparently understeered right into it. The car has nothing at all mechanically and the wheel has no trace of impact.
So hopefully my insurance will be as awesome as 4 months ago when a bike crashed on it while it was ALSO parked... Did not pay a single cent out of my pocket that time. Just have to hope some cameras recorded the whole thing. If everything goes well insurance-wise, be sure I will post about it later on...
Wish me good luck!
EDIT: new insurance update, apparently this time, I'm good to pay the 500$ of insurance fees as Hit & Run are not covered by my police which I thought was the best the could provide me... Damn it... But considering the paint is not original and it will cost a good 2000$ to replace the bumper and replace it, I guess it's not that bad of a deal after all... Sucks nonetheless...
More Power!!and also some brakes.

Driving a Corvette during winter on the Plateau isn't the problem.
Driving any car on the plateau during winter is a bad idea, unless you can afford your own parking spot.

Is that a Montreal love bump I see?

Have you ever considered that your Corvette is attracting women too well?

WAIT I KNOW YOU! (SORT OF!), I've seen your vette at least a few times the past couple weeks.

Replace the bumper? Is it actually deformed or just scraped up (hard to tell from the pictures)? I ask because the urethane replacements cost a fair bit more than the fiberglass reproductions you will find. You don't want the fiberglass reproductions; they have no impact tolerance.
Sorry to hear about the hit.

It's cracked... Also my insurance will pay. I will have to get the deductible (500$) out of my pocket though as for some reasons, hit & run are not 100% covered. I have a police report so my insurance rate will not go up though.
I will see for the urethane repros though...
