Got hit today, well sort of.

My car got side swiped by an old lady trying to get out of her parking slot next to mine last Monday . Good thing I was still in my car when it happened, she didn't even know her front bumper was rubbing against my side. I was pissed off at first but it a calmed down. It could've been worse. Her white Hyundai got it worst.

pics.




How would a body shop fix this? color match just that spot?

That can't be polished. Looks like more than a paint transfer. Looks like paint was removed from your car from the pics.

Good luck. I assume you called the police?

And people at work wonder why I park all the way in the back of our parking and walk 200 yards. Last week I decided, ah this is ridiculous, no one's gonna hit it. Well when I got in that afternoon I had a nice little white door ding, Hyundai Sonanta....... Do Hyundai's get jealous when parked next to an Infiniti?

Luckily, mine polished out, but I feel your pain!!

Old people are ridiculous. I know that sometimes they can be pretty cute, but for the most part they are not.. Drive Slow, Hit everything, break peoples hearts like us that love our cars with a passion, etc. I hope everything goes well for you man. Sorry to hear that!

Doing that in NY is guaranteed to get some intentional ding's in your car. LOL
