Crap! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

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...

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???
