    So I was out washing my truck after a week of work in the dirt/mud. Noticed a small bit of paint missing on the plastic bumper near the driver fog lights. Did some investigating on my dash cam and it turns out some idiot hit me not once, but twice. One of the hits was on the steel bumper which didn't show a scratch. The small speck of missing paint was maybe a half inch by a quarter inch. A little touch up paint to fix the issue.

    I haven't reported it because the damage was next to nothing. Just the fact that the dude got out of his vehicle, looked at my truck and then proceeded to hit my truck again irks me. Some peoples kids, I tell ya.

    Unbelievable - (not) - that kids tires would be flat the next time he got in that car.

    Probably didn't notice the utility work ahead sign at the top of street either. Could have avoided the whole situation of driving down the street with nowhere to go.

    I was once parked in the parking lot. I was still in my car. Older lady pulled into the opposite spot but proceeded to "bump me". I didn't have the heart to confront her. There was no damage, but I was lucky... What about the next person she hit?

    I woukd absolutely report it, please do! If this motherfucker hits you twice, verifies it, and drives off, chances are he has or will do the same in the future. This time it's a misdemeanor, and he thinks there are no consequences. If he hits someone and hurts them, and takes off, it's a felony, and the more he gets away with it, the more he's inclined to duck responsibility.

    I say that with sincerity as someone who has been victimized twice by a hit and run on my motorcycles, one breaking my wrist with major roadrash, and the second violently amputated my buddy's leg and broke mine. Don't enable this guy to continue, please hold him accountable.

    Good System! I could clearly see his license plate "Wisconsin - AES-6541."
    What are you running?

    I just put the Rexing V1Pro in mine.

    Happens all over. Wife's pristine 2017 Subaru has a crease in the drivers door, the entire length mind you,
    has a major door-opened-dent in the passenger door, and a big scar on her rear drivers side bumper.

    What gets me is the most likely 3 different people who did this didn't give a rats ass.

    I always park far-away in the widest spot and I'll double park because if you don't care about me then fk-you go park somewhere else.
    I think I'll try to bribe a handicapped card next time I see the cardiologist ...
