HHR Drivers Never Cause Damage

The neighbors across the street are stupid and cause problems anyways.. And their driveway is right where I parked.. I have a feeling it was themm.. but not sure ? What should I do ?
The truck has no colored paint from another car.. It just is dented in.. For me to get a new door and have it painted (which i might as well paint the whole truck then cause it needs it, it'll cost me or someone bout 2k) I just cant believe it.. This truck is almost 40 years old and has never been wrecked , i bought it cause it was the straightest truck I could find of it's age.. It was a one owner and well preserved before me

And to top of my day.. I was running late to church this morning and got pulled over for doing 50 n a 40 .. Just isn't my day i recon'

That's something I've noticed reading the tales of woe. HHR owners always seem to be the victims of other drivers. They never ... or rarely cause damage.

Are we a chosen people?

I thought in Texas that would be a shootable offense, like cattle stealing or something. Plus if the Sheriff questions anything just tell him "family was involved" or "he needed killin". From what I have heard either excuse is viable for shooting someone in Texas.

I had a car parked opposite the neighbors driveway and found the driver's door dented and of course the neighbor denied everything. I paid for the repair of the damaged door myself and take real care to avoid parking in that type of position.

I hate it when someone parks across from my drive. I make it nearly impossible to get out of my drive unless it is a short car. If you have a full size extended cab long bed it sill make you cuss.

I have come close to hitting them several times. If they would just park 5 feet back it is so much easier. There always is room for them to do that. Heck I would even be glad if they would park in front of my house if need be. I have a driveway and never park out in the street.

I would recomend if you have the space show some courtesy and not park at the end of driveways if possible the fender you save might be your own.

Sorry for you man.

Good looking vehicles are magnets. They attract dumb people. My clean 2003 Astro has lots of dings and dents on it. Not a single one of them was my fault....

Get that truck repaired ASAP... It's a vintage Chevy.

Well for one. I wasnt parked directly across from any driveways. I was past them. If they were to back straight up they might of clipped my bumper. For someone to back all the way over and hit my door was a effort it almost seem'd. I asked the neighbors and all said "didnt see it, or didnt do it. w/e"

I am going to have to fix it out of pocket. A new door is 299$ , Need new window track.. Then I guess im going to paint the whole truck when all that is said n done. I am leaning towards painting it myself. I have all the supplies and a shop.. It'd sure save some money and make me appreciate it more n the long haul.

If i did find out who done it.. They would have some dents n their door once they fall asleep :)
