Was driving home tonight at ~11pm and noticed that I could only see the passenger side headlight "spot" on the ground ahead of the car (5' ahead, but that's another story). Due to heavy traffic, couldn't pull over, so I got behind a minivan and checked the reflection, and huh? Two working bulbs.
Anyway, get home and get out to investigate further. Passenger side light housing is BENT down at a good 30degree angle, and the little plastic aligning nubs are either broken off or bent.
Thinking of who had been parked in front of me the night before, SOME @#%$ MORON DICKWIPE in a old Bronco must have backed out crooked and his bumber did a job on my lights! SUNOFABITCH! This is the Fifth[/b][/u] time my car has been hit while parked!!!!
This neighborhood is a f*cking zoo and the people are animals here. Now this confirms I can't get a new car cause it'll be a day till someone ruins it (i.e., got my old Escort GT back from the paint shop after an accident. THAT NIGHT, some camelriding cab driver managed to back up into my brand new bumper cover and leave his yellow paint all over it. ONE LOUSY DAY I had a clean car!).
If you see someone in a bell tower with a rifle, you'll know who it is...

I feel your NY rage, Russ... however, my dings and scratches don't measure up to your busted light.
I'll see you up at that bell tower...

Is there room for a third in that bell tower?? Have you seen my SC lately? God Forbid i can have a nice paint job in NY.. Aside from the fender.. some moron took off most of the paint from the front bumper with some sort of hitch.. Both corners on the back bumper have been scuffed by retards and now the paint is cracked and ive got nicks all over from jerk off's who like to bang into other peoples cars when they open their doors
You're not alone Russ and Eugene <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"> )

Guess Hicksville USA has something to be desired eh? BTW, just what are all you fruitcakes doing in a dark, damp, wet, bell tower together. Sicko's.

Please, dings and nicks I can live with, and I certainly have plenty. But when morons hit your car WHILE ITS NOT MOVING, I have issues.
Lets see what they've done:
1- Moron in Pathfinder backs up over hood leaving spare tire shaped dent on Tbird emblem.
2- Moron with trailer hitch backs up into front bumper taking out licence plate holder, paint and some urethane from the bumper cover.
3- Moron (I think in a Towncar) hits the front corner of the bumper cover, taking out the turning light.
4- Moron backs out of driveway right into the quarterpanel. Leaves softball sized dent and cracks taillight lens.
5- Moron somehow sideswipes passenger door/quarterpanel leaving a "dent trail" down door.
6- Finally, moron in Bronco bends passenger side light & mount.
That's ALL while parked. I've also had at least a dozen people back into the front bumper while they were parking, taking out the licence holder and scratching it to high heaven (and hence the spray paint re-paint), my back bumper looks like it was used as an ice skating rink, I have scratches in my fenders from what looks like asswipes wearing jeans sitting on my car and letting the rivets scratch the paint, uhm, someone poured diet coke all over the hood permanently damaging the paint, someone bent my power antenna intoa pretzel, etc, etc, etc. I'm gonna go postal any day now...

Man you need to get that car out of NYC while it's still in 1 piece. (Well a few pieces anyway) So Russ, you need to buy a new headlight and turn signal light now?

Are you done whining yet? Christ....you sound like a little girl, "Ohhhhhh, my car my car......OHHHH.". Maybe if you took those POS RACING stickers off your car, the local rejects wouldn't target you out. Retard.

Jason: Oddly, they managed to bend the whole assembly and mounts but didnt break the lens! Im going to try to pry-bar it back into a more normal position, and if I hold true to form, I'll break it myself while trying to fix it...
Mr. Miller: What racing stickers? The only non-stock items on my car are the intercooled badge, the filled in letters on the rear bumper cover and two red thunderbird logos on the quarter windows...

I don't have you in number, but I do in cost. $2500 to repair a sideswipe down the driverside, THE WHOLE LENGH! Not only did he have to pay for it, the court made him furnish me a vehicle until it was drivable. I got a 1999 mustang at his cost for a month! SWEET!

You live here in NY and expect to have a nice car at the same time? Come to Etown Sat., we can use a Bronx Frame Machine on her -- Tie down to a pole, put car in reverse and back up until the unibody is reasonablly straight. I may even bring a can of red spray paint. Good as new in no time!!!!
