This is the second time it's happened to me, in the last 2 months...
Someone decided to give my bumper a new "makeover", by running
into it with their vehicle. I feel really bad, because the last time it
happened the person who did it left without saying a word, and I had
to pay for all the damages. It seems like the same thing has happened
again, and now I'm thinking of leaving my mother country, to live in
what "I" consider to be a more civilized environment, such as a different
country.
I know people have their problems and usually just take it as it comes,
but today has been one of those days of the year you won't forget...
Any ideas or suggestions on how I could get out of this horrible mood? |

Do you need a vehicle? Would it be better to get rid of it? Some people manage all right without a vehicle. Some people really need a vehicle.
Some people choose to move to another country.

Isn't your vehicle a bit flash.
Do you think they are doing it out of jealousy?
Last time you said it was in your car parking area of your condo. Why don't you go down and look for some paint transfer on other peoples cars. |

You need an older car that can take life. I had an '85 Chevy Blazer, and one snowy night I was driving on a bridge, hit a patch of black ice and slammed into a concrete wall ...and I didn't get a scratch.
My newer Honda Civ will get a dent if someone bumps into it with a shopping cart. |
