Well, after driving the 914 for 5 years, I guess it was bound to happen...I came out to my car last night with a broken taillight lense, and the corner of the fender kind of pushed in a little bit. It was very local damage, but it just kind of sucks. There also were tire marks like they did a burnout as they left in the hope that they could get away before someone saw them.. Guess I need to find a quart of this yellow and fix all the other small dents and paint chips..

Yes, those were French taillight lenses that got destroyed.. For anyone reading this I'm looking for a driver side Euro lens to try and fix this one...

And this is why everyone needs 'uninsured motorist' on their policy.

I can tell you the courts do not hold perps accountable for their actions, deemed a CIVIL MATTER.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) so sorry....if you can take matters into your own, I certainly would NOT handle them in any civil manner. AND if you ever see this happen. Be a good witness for the next person. Get a plate AND description of the driver. Tickets don't go to license plates, they go to drivers....

Even that doesn't always help. A while back (1993ish) I was sitting peacefully in a 1980 Dodge Mirada and was rear ended by a drunk driver in a 4x4. I not only got the LP #, description of the truck, and description of the driver. . I followed him home and then called the police.

The answer? Well, he said it wasn't him. And to top it off, my Iowa driving record said I was involved in a hit and run which was interpreted as I did the hitting and running.

Totaled the car. . . uninsured motorist doesn't cover an accident like that. I'm just glad I wasn't in my 92 Grand Am or I wouldn't be griping about it! That damned truck would've decapitated me and that car.
