Some low life backed into my immmaculate GTR yesterday while I was parked for less than 30 minutes, 1cm wide gouges about 3" high each, plus the bumper is now discoloured and warped.

I'm so sick of people doing runners. I could see the person had wiped their hand across the damage and had left no note or anything. They knew they did wrong and just drove off.

I'm going back to the carpark today to see if they have surveillance tapes, but I doubt they are going to be helpful.

To say i'm pissed off is an understatement. If you could tell me who this person was I will probably be in jail next week on violence charges.

If I ever see anyone backing into a car and driving off as I have done in the past, I write down the car make/model, colour and numberplate, with my name and number. If only someone had returned the courtesy for me. :P

That's pretty low of them to do that. I witnessed some guy driving a trailor in a small car park. He didn't take the trailer into consideration when making a turn. Trailer hit a parked car and the driver actually saw this and kept driving to cause more damage. No effort to reverse and redo the turn.

Lucky I was there to jot down his details :P If you start being responsible and help others then eventually others will do the same thing if it happens to you.

i know how you feel. i was also side swiped while i parked my car at a parking lot for no longer 15mins. when i returned i found it unusual that my alarm sensor when off when i disarmed the car, looked around the vehicle and didnt see anything. until the next day when i went to open the passenger door, there was a fkn 20cm scrap along the side down near the rear quarters. needless to say, i was fkn pissed off.

my fat ass sister in law backed into my car in the driveway. i only had the car for 2 weeks when she did it. i fractured a bone in foot from kicking the shit out of the front of her car so much. we joke bout it now but unless u catch them in the act most ppl will drive off.

I had a similar thing happen to me just a few weeks back, but thankfully the damage was minimal. The number plate took most of the imact leaving the car with just a small dent and scratches. Still pisses me off though.

If I ever see anyone backing into a car and driving off as I have done in the past.....

uh..... I'll assume that was a typo. :O

A few months back I came out of the shops to see someone reverse into my car.....after it had just been sprayed... :D

The culprit re-parked their car, got out to look at their car, then walked over to mine.... had a quick squizz, then started walking back to their car.

I take it the plan was to drive off (this person had to borrow my pen when we exchanged details, so i can assure you they didn't return to their vehicle to write a note to leave on my car.)

I had to stand there and argue with this person, that it was in fact them who caused the damage to my car.

Even when I pointed out the lovely new addition of blue and white stripes along the side of their car, they still wanted to argue the point.

Since then I have had 4 more people hit my car while it has been parked (one was possibly a trolley)

I always park as far away from everyone else as I can (when possible), but this method DOES NOT WORK!

If people see your car parked all by itself, they must be worried that it is going to get lonely, and even with 300 empty parking spaces around, you can put money on it that the people who have NFI will always park right next to you.

Murphys law.

Bottom line is, if you want to drive your car, it's going to get damaged.

Even if you never stop to park, you'll still end up with stone chips on your bonnet, damaged rims from falling in pot holes, and bird shit on your windscreen.

...but yeah..... it certainly wouldn't hurt for people to start taking responsibility for their actions.

I remember seeing something about this in ACA perhaps 1 year ago about so many ppl just Leg it and dont leave a note if they back into ppl etc...

How much does it also hurt wen some cock sucking top bloke "keys" ya car... made me almost cy once to see my car fully keyed front to end....

My mates WRX was keyed to the bullshit... every fkn panel inc the roof.. he didnt even know who did it.. he doesnt have any enemys nothing.. only thing we could think of was a person who hated WRX's

Those guys should be hung. I am so lucky I haven't had my car keyed so far. It would make me so furious. They do it intentionally unlike those who accidentally dent your cars. I never go to shops and never park my car in unis/city car parks.

Just too paranoid. My gf parked her old crappy lantra at the front of the house and some fker walked on top of the car and concaved the roof during the night.

Don't confuse deliberate acts of vandalism with people who don't know how to park.

I'm sure that you'll find that most "keyings" are grudge related, and performed by people who are known to the victim...... whether the victim likes to admit it or not.

...this is about "random acts of crap driving"

My girlfriend saw a local tool here in North Sydney reverse his 911 Turbo into the car behind him then start to leave without a note until she said something and he wrote his details down and left them on the car he hit.

Wanker.

I also park far away from the shops and other cars, but yea doesn't work. Another car will park next to it anyway. I think it has something to do with an inate herding instinct (safety in numbers) maybe. People seem to becoming more and more like sheep and less and less like taking responsibility. Maybe our parents think the same about our generation though.

Feel for u, I would be furious. I'll make sure I take down details and leave in on victims windscreen if i ever see it happen to anybody.

those accidents sound minimal compared to the one on my dad's 318. he was parked in a narrow sidestreet, went in the house. a few minutes later, everyone heard and massive crash ran outside, saw a semitrailer leaving, didnt get the details. the damage was horrific, new fenders and the whole side of the car was resprayed, new rims and a side mirror as well. ARGH! lowest scum at their lowest! :wheresmyrantguy?:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
