woman reverses into my car and *attempts* to flee...

But I got her. Was on a conf call at my office, and she backed clear into the car. They hit it, looked around, and put it in drive. I ran out and stopped her and grabbed her plate. She was going to leave anyhow, I told her I would give her plate to the LEO if she wanted to leave.

WTF is it with people nowadays. It's only a few gouges, but I didn’t ask her to gouge up my bumper or break my license plate lights. I didn’t ask to have my rear bumper resprayed or the time off from work it's going to take shuttling it around. She called ME petty for calling the LEO.

I am also embarrassed, I was on a conf call with 3 people (customers) and talking hands free on a wireless headset when I had to sprint out after watching her do this.

I'm going to need tequila to calm this one down, boy, whew.

good you saw it and was able to catch her, otherwise $$$ from you to repair. Hate to say it but it seems to be the way with a lot of people for some reason, they rather not deal with.

Never safe. Glad you caught them. I had a similar exp. 30 years ago guy hit me in side pushed fender into wheel on a brand new Z28. When I asked if he had insurance. He said man I helped you get fender pulled away from tire you want me to pay. Then he proceeded to tell me he just got out of jail. Needless to say I had to pay ded. He had no insurance and he really had just got out of jail.

Good luck. Sorry for your damage hope it's fixed quick.

they wonder why they get slapped.
You drive a beautiful auto and people think you have cash to burn and they shouldn't be responsible.

in fact they may even hate you for it and wish you ill will.

pathetic humans. Good luck with the repair. Sorry to hear it.

90% of the drivers out there think of a car as just transportaion, nothing more. They couldn't care less if they damage other people's well-cared-for cars. I'm sure this woman's car has evidence of other prior skirmishes. Glad you were lucky enough to catch her.

Glad you were able to catch her before she fled the scene. I can't believe she had the audacity to call you petty...

This is why I do not park my car in parking lots. I drive her and then back into the garage. If I do park her it is in a nice area where my car does not standout and is far, far away.

You are absolutely in the right . She hit your car and thinks you're the bad guy for asking her to stop ?What a sense of entitlement . I hope you called the cops . If there were witnesses she would have gotten a citation. If there's no police report you may have trouble collecting from her insurance .

Good on ya Dave. Geez youve had a bad trot lately mate. I say bugger that ***** and make her pay. The hide of her to make you feel bad....so typical from these types. I bet she was in a POS too. You'd have felt a heck of a lot worse if she got away.

Freakin unbelievable attitude - too bad it wasn't enough for a "failing to remain at the scene" charge - a real lesson to learn.

My very recent hit and run (not a 997 so I can imagine your state of mind) had a delayed conscience - A day later I got a note saying - "I THINK I may have hit your car"
