Hit while parked
So I was visiting Shenandoah National Park yesterday, cruising the Skyline on what was all the way to the end a perfect day! Very little traffic, tons of twisties, little to no LEO's around. Zep and Floyd blasting and the colors of fall starting to pop everywhere you looked.
Then as we were leaving, we decided to stop one last time at one of the overlook parking lot. We were out of the car looking at the scenery when some idiot was backing up and ended up backing into the my rear quarter! I was like 30 yards away screaming at him , he said he didn't see my car , but I saw him start to back up, hesitate and then went at it again as he had estimated he wouldn't hit me. Not really horrible, but shit just knowing it is there kills me. The paint didn't crack but there is a definite indentation and some scratches etc... No cell coverage so we got each other info (thank God for smartphones) and we went our way. On the way down when I got signal, I call Geico to start my claim, we decided that I would call again when I got home. 5 minutes later another guy invaded my lane and had it not been for my girl screaming out to me he would have plastered me. I swear he missed me by inches. I had to pull over just to chill out I was f-ing fuming! WTF Virginia! Oh well had to vent, LOL. I wish the guy had hit my front bumper instead since I am getting that resprayed this winter, LOL here's a pic.

Sorry that happened, When my wife and I go places in our Z4 I park so I can see the car and when I cant it bothers me. I wonder at times if it is worth having nice car or not, I would like to drive a junker sometimes and not have the worry.

Ricanbandit, yep...sounds like VA drivers. I don't know if they're the worst I've dealt with in all the places I've lived but as a whole they're definitely the most inattentive and maddening. Hope everything gets fixed up good as new!

Hi Rican,
Really sorry to hear that bud. I live in MD but I've noticed that VA drivers on average are pretty...crappy at driving I can't count the number of times I've seen them either hogging the passing lane while going below the limit, cutting into lanes, changing lanes without signalling, etc. I've actually started to drive extremely defensively anytime I see that the person next to me has VA plates on now as I've had several close calls... On the plus side, isn't the exit road into skyland so much fun? The cambered road combined with the fun twisties and double lanes going up are made for cars like ours! Anyway, I hope you can get it fixed back soon, and congrats on coming back down the mountain alive -gas-can |

Thanks guys, like I said, it is cosmetic, no structural damage or anything like that. Glided home like a champ. The guy that cut me off on Route 66 was downright dangerous. I swear it was a matter of inches, it was totally surreal having that car coming at me while I am doing 70.

Good luck with the parking lot damage; although annoying, it looks like it can be easily addressed and soon made good as new. Allons-Y!!
