    So, I was at the GT gym last night lifting weights and playing basketball... I leave just before it closes around 1145. My car is parallel parked near the front, and as I'm getting in my car a douche walking by carrying some hockey stick or something drops it on my car!!! (mind you there's nobody else around and only like 2 other cars) It doesn't take off the paint, but now there's a healthy dent above my front passenger wheel. I asked him "what happened?" and he just stood there like "uh... I dunno, I dropped it." I was pissed, but for whatever reason I told him to just forget about it and drove home. :fawk:

    man, you're too nice! you told him to forget about it, then just drove off? if my car had a dent, i would have gotten his info. i'm sure his parents, if not him, could pay for it since he's going to school at GT. that sux bro.

    Reminds me of the time I came out of a QuikTrip on Buford Hwy. and there was a hispanic gentleman leaning on my front fender. I was half pissed and half flattered...he was just tryin to fool the ladies and claim ownership, Im sure!

    I've learned to live with dents on GT Campus. I got a bunch pulled in May, but I'm sure by May next year I'll have just as many.

    I guess when I graduate I'll do a full redo of my exterior (pull all dents and brand new paint job), or just sell it and get something new.

    I see a bunch of WRX's on campus these days though, I can hear the distinct rumble headed my way all the time :).

    In my head I would have dropped my elbow on his head and said "uuh it was accidental..."

    no...I would have done the same thing you did because we are just not like that...

    sorry to hear it man!!!

    similar story, my old ride was an h22 92 honda accord, just got it outta the paint shop(electron blue pearL) was at toyrus buying something for my sister for xmas and a douch with early 70's camaro that was primed to paint parks be side me and slings his door into mine. i just walked past him and when the distance between us was far enough i kicked the f#cking dogsh!t out of his door and hauled@ss. hindsight being 20/20 that was a pretty mean thing to do but it felt really really really good!
