- - Crap! (http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10698)

Those of you who are familiar with DC, I have been working and commuting to Georgetown for 2 weeks. While my monthly parking is being processed I am parking daily in a surface lot operated by Colonial parking since I can park myself rather than having to valet (I have seen how these attendants abuse cars - intentionally while smoking down at below grade parking garage!!!).
Once processed as monthly, I can park myself even below grade garage.
Well, last Wednesday after 9 hours of parking, I walk up to the car and I see scratches on lower front bumper, driver side - good thing I was checking!
I call the attendant and bring his attention to this and he says "well, it's minor damage, it's like parking on the street...". I tell him I am paying $20/day so that I can avoid this kind of bulls**t! He keeps trying to weasel out of this. So, I point to the sign on his shack "All damages must be reported bofore leaving the premise". After shouting at him for awhile, I ask for his boss's #, call and finally get the form to report the incident. After I fill out my portion, the attendant fills out his portion and checks the box that says "uncertain" to a question - did the dmge happen at the lot?
Well, Ias I am signing the form I check the box "certain". He contests and I tell him your opinion vs. mine!
I had a preliminary discussion w/ the Claims dept. Hopefully their insurance will cover the repair... Life of urban living and my insistance in enjoying the car everyday...:mad:

Ah, well... On the positive side, front bumper had a whole lot of speckles from 108,000 miles of driving and it's about time to clean it up.

I have been a very good boy. Santa. Please???:mrgreen:

Yun,
Sorry to hear man, but it could have been worse.

Guess your not going to put the cow pusher on the Z and head up to Jim's tomorrow? :mrgreen:

If I can drive? For sure!
It looks like I won't even make it out the garage door. 'Know what I mean?
s for the bumper, really it needed new paint. So, this may be a blessing in disguise.

Just give the guy a "second chance" :D

I would have reacted the same as you for sure :thumbsup:

I did tip him extra the next day.
I just don't like to leave my car with someone who hates me. Know what I mean?

Bummer about the damage. The new paint job will make the car look a lot better but it is always a hassle getting it done.

What, you mean you aren't driving up here today????

I have been out in the garage getting it warmed up. It's only about 9' deep and still coming down here in Westminster. :jawdrop:

I feel for you Yun. If it would have been me I wouldn't have found the problem until I got home.

Same thing happened to me when I had my damaged resonator replaced at the muffler shop. I got it home and noticed a scratch on the drivers side 49th street rocker. And I know damn well it wasn't there before. But it was to late. At least you caught it before you left. You might get lucky.

I learned to give the car a quick once over after being at places where a damage could occur. Learned it a hard way.

Not as bad as the damage I suffered. Car is totaled. Not the ZR-1 thank god. Lost the Volvo to some ******* in a parking lot.
