This is why I park in the middle nowhere when I take mine out. Sorry to hear that though, that's just plan sucky.

this is why i dont park my car in any public parking. i go for joy rides and maybe to a relatives house and back home. I drove my car to georgia, made one stop for gas and stopped at south georgia corvette and left it there for some work. it is parked indoors at the shop. I just try to not park in public parking if it could be avoided. i would never go to the gym with it. people just dont give a crap. they are happy with the piles of crap they drive and since they dont care about there car they dont car about yours either. I dont care where I park my other cars but my corvette is always protected against body damage as much as possible.

sometimes you have to park it and leave it exposed and on those days you just pray it doesnt get rammed. If it does just fix it. what else can you do? Most people wont own up to it. dishonesty is rampant.

Stay away from the gym!!

I got lucky, I guess... This summer someone backed into my Z as well. I was lucky in that only the license plate got damaged - a set of deep creases that scratched the paint off of the lettering. Anywhere else (either side) and it would have been my NEW PAINT if not the bumper too!

It had to have happened that one time when I parked it on the street while visiting a 'Farmer's Market'. I recall a pick-up being parked in front of me - and I know how hard it is to see something like a Vette over the top of the tailgate of one of those things...(don't ask!). Either that, or at a car show... Now, THAT would really piz me off!
