Before, After, and After again.

So I’m pretty upset. Two days ago, I cleaned my headlights. That part was good:

(They look better in person)

But yesterday, before I even had a chance to take that after picture, someone backed into me, left some scuffs and dented my license plate (also taking some paint off of it), and drove off without leaving a note.

What’s worse is I was in a huge spot twice as long as my car. The guy ahead of me was on top of the front line of his spot, leaving a gap that looked long enough to be another space. I actually watched twice as people backed into me, luckily without leaving a mark (or even checking my car) but this one must have happened while I was away from it.

I might buy some of those spike thingies that go over the license plate fasteners. They’re meant as decoration, but I’d rather let them do some damage to the next asshole who does this.

And yes, I realize it could be worse. But that’s not the point.

A huge bummer, even when it’s not bad. Probably has a lot to do with the principle of the whole thing. Headlights look great.

I do, yeah. My family is all from Michigan (I’m the first one born outside of the state, excluding cousins) so it was easy enough to find. I just like it. Although, I’d rather have one from either ‘93 or ‘94 to match the car’s year of manufacture or model year.

I’m a bit upset my car was backed into a few weeks ago in front of my house. Found a crack and my dented front plate. I now have a different front end for other reasons..

I don’t ever leave a space in front or behind me that someone could mistake for a parking. I will position my car in such a way that it will be too small behind or in front of me visually that they don't even bother.

Blue Plate on the front... hurts my brain... all my retired Blues are mounted on the wall in the garage! Seeing a Michigan plate mounted to the front of a car just feels so dirty !
