My poor Bentley
I was on vacation in Monaco when my Bentley scraped the side of the Mercedes before it plowed into a Ferrari … I lost control and then hit an Aston Martin and a Porsche. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43926079/ns/world_news-europe/?GT1=43001 … just kidding, my family arrive in Minnesota today from New Jersey via Vermont in a minivan with a Sears roof top carrier.

Note that the driver was blond... and they wonder where the stereotypes come from?

And I thought that was the members from the House trying to vacate in a hurry after being held on Overtime failing in trying to accomplish their voting.  Oops Sorry for the TOS fault.

it's annoying regardless the value or age of your car. I've had me new car dinged by some careless "fool". I've had an older car had the wing hit.. they drove off in both cases. Here we have to pay more money on top for other un-insured drivers. Then personal injury claims e.g. fake whiplash.. I wish the insurance companies were are quick at catching obvious scammers (crash arrangers etc.) as they are taking money. still least it wasn't another overpaid fool totalling a Bugatti Veyron /Pagani Zonda .. that repair bill is cheap compared.

When I was about 9 or 10, I slammed my bike into the back of a Volkswagen Beetle. Once I could let go of my nether regions and stop screaming, I was so concerned with either hastening my own demise or lapsing into a coma until fully healed that I failed to leave a note on the windshield. I'm sure the owner, whoever that might have been, wondered why there was a scratch on their rusted fender or why there was about 4 pints of blood covering the back of their car.
So, if any of you were wondering about that, I'm sorry.

Speaking of apologies..... I saw fender-bender (not the guitar) where someone hit a parked car, saw him writing a note, places it on the parked car's windshield, and took off. The note read "Sorry I jacked up your car, and no I'm not leaving my insurance info".

I had something similar happen when I was 13 or 14. I had just gotten a really nice touring bike and was cruising down the street at over 30 mph according to the speedometer when one of the pedals fell off(!) and I veered into the back of a parked car. Fortunately I was catapulted over the gooseneck (this is the sharp part of metal that holds the handlebars on) where I rolled over the trunk and roof, barely touching them, only to come to a "soft" landing in the middle of the car's hood (leaving a nice dent). The "boys" survived, but I was a bit dazed. Next thing I know one of the neighbors was there to see if I was alright and, after I expressed disappointment that my new bike was now scratched and with a pretzeled wheel, he took me to the bike shop and read the owner the riot act (threatening an injury and damages lawsuit because pedals just don't fall off). That was very cool of him because I ended up with a new bike and we were able to give the car owner the bikeshop's information for his repairs. Maybe I've just gotten cynical, but I can't help but think if that had happened in this day and age that the neighbor would have probably just laughed and said "Damn! I bet that hurt!" I'd like to be wrong about that...

I can put your mind at ease. You're wrong about that. There's no way your neighbor would do that.
He'd capture it on his phone and upload it to U-Toob.
Then everyone would laugh.

Had that happened in a posh part of London it would have be referred to as a 'Baird Creche'.

Ah, good point! (If it happened to Bapu, would someone upload it to You-Moob?)
