Parallel parked behind a F250, trucks gone but it left this.

Looks like I be putting the front plate holder back on.

Probably leaves his hitch on all the time, even though he hasn’t moved a trailer in over a year.

People who damage other people's cars really boil my piss.

And here is my argument for Mercedes’ new fold-away trailer hitch.

I’m sorry that happened to you. Peoples suck.

Definitely that kind of person.

Gotta love parking by feel.

I’ll also add it was rusty/dented, so they probably drove away with no fucks given.

Oh man, that’s some shit. Go to O’reilly’s and get some color matched spray paint and some clearcoat and color-match your plate holder. Should make it blend in a little bit better!

Where did this happen?

My new 300D, 1987. I showed a woman in an Isuzu how she banged my car with her door by demonstrating the perfect fit between the door. She told me to go fuck myself. Took her plate number - should have asked my buddy, at MD state trooper, to do something, but I just had it fixed.

People do suck.

I think I should add “does it look good with a rally light bar?” on my next car checklist.

Sucks, man. And bumper covers are nearly impossible to find.

I always take a picture of the lisence plate of a vehicle I think might hit my vehicle. It’s came in handy twice.

If you feel up to a nice little project you could go buy a plastic welde, remove your bumper and push it even and weld from the rear. Maybe buy some color match paint too. But that sounds a million times more complicated and. More expensive than your choice.

That thought has crossed my mind actually. Not too much work and it will make me feel a little better about putting it back on.

I passably color-matched new door handles on my Mustang using Duplicolor paint/ clear coat. It’s pretty easy, actually. Or get a Mercedes-Benz vanity plate and put it on the front ;D

Back up until it sounds expensive.

In midtown Detroit, off the beaten path at a new bar too. I was honestly questioning what the truck was doing there while I was parking behind it.

Good on you for getting your merc fixed. My car isn't new or old enough to be worth it.

before doing that check what kind of plastic it is first. if it’s PC-ABS you’re good to go, but if its a PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) blend you’ll have a bitch of a time getting any paint to stick to it. PP and PE are very solvent-resistant (PE is what gas tanks are made of) and the paint can’t “bite.”

I try to do this too, I use my phone as a dash cam, I usually zoom in on any cars that look suspect before I turn it off.

I’d be using the person’ head as a ‘dent remover.

Really sorry to hear about that. We were on the opposite side of this sort of thing once, some lady said that we had nicked the door of her Civic LX with our rental Town and Country but there was nary a paint scratch. Exchanged information, called AAA, and wasted ten minutes for nothing. While she definitely overreacted, I don't condone what's happened to your Crossfire. Hope you can get it looking amazing again!

Ha yea I don’t think that much effort is worth it. Its a 12 year old car with 160k on the clock. I’ll just go with the plate holder for now.

Yea yea I’ve painted plenty of stuff, but lol at the benz plate. I will NOT be one of those Crossfire owners.

Ah thanks for the pro-tip. I knew some plastics were like that, just unsure what ones.

That sounds like a good idea. That truck was so out place too, should’ve went with my gut feeling.

Yea just going to cover it up, lol.

I clicked on this in the right ‘popular items’ bar. Out of context, I was expecting a post telling everyone on oppo where they can stick it.

That's what I would do too. Hell, I replaced my front fender two or so months ago and I've been too lazy to color match it. Gold goes with black right?

Time to mount a claymore behind the front plate with a pressure switch. Next guy will learn the hard way.

Covering the hole with the plate holder is a pretty slick idea. Hope it works out for you. And now I have something else to look out for on my next used car purchase...

Yea, I would have never thought to look behind the plate holder either. But for this case, fuck it, I’m going to be that guy.

But the only way it would help is if the car whose plate you took a picture of also has damage right? In cases like this, when some jackass jabs your car with a tow hitch, there won’t be any damage and you won’t have any proof.
