Stupid truck drivers.

At least his 'bad ass toy' was high enough to avoid any significant body damage.

No note.

Funny thing was the woman I spoke with about the insurance claim had a 70 914 she's had for 18 years. We talked about seat belts before we took care of business. . Told her about 914World. We'll see if she shows up.

there's one of those bumper tops, NOS, listed in the FS.

My first car was a Datsun 510 that got backed into and crunched the corner. The guy I bought it from took $100 cash on the spot to avoid insurance headaches. Oof.

Long story short PO prob worked for me.

I know, not the same. Just trying to cheer you up... Never mind.

Sounds like insurance will help at least?

Somehow I like the old days of wrangling in the parking lot compared to dealing with the insurance companies.

They are great to trailer your 914 to the track!

Now be nice I drive a truck,, I've got a spare hood if you need!

I'm annoyed in general with most people's driving, regardless of vehicle!
Sorry to see you got tagged Mark, but it doesn't look too bad at least.
Gotta keep on keeping on!

Good reason to make a trip to Rick's and make sure it is still straight. I hear he has a rack in his shop.

That's to bad mark.

You mean this kinda rack, NORD? I got one too.

Thats sux man. But rest assured karma will settle up with that prick. I've got a really good bumper top you can have if you need one.

One (two-syllable) word ... GoPro

That's a pisser, for sure. Not that it matters but would you mind sharing how it happened.

Parked behind a truck with about 8ft between his bumper and mine. Apparently that wasn't quite enough room.

That sucks!

Posted by: euro911 Oct 27 2013, 12:51 PM

Mark, where was it parked? ... any chance someone in the area had surveillance cameras?

Bad enough that your car was damaged, but just as bad, there's some useless piece of shit out there laughing about it. He (or she) has probably done it to someone else before, and will probably do it again

They need to experience payback

Your point?

Posted by: McMark Oct 27 2013, 01:24 PM

I actually thought about taking a picture of their license plate when I parked, cause I had a feeling. Definitely going to start making that a habit. Easy to take a couple pics as insurance just in case.
