Angry rant!

So the drivers side front fender of my once immaculate 2007 Lariat has a crease in it now. I parked to run into the bank and came out to see a 3 foot scratch/dent with paint down to the metal and dented the fender just behind the headlight. It is the same height as the flatbed tow truck that was hauling a$$ out of the parking lot when I came out of the bank. I could not catch said perp but dammit people, why do you suck?! The whole fender has to be replaced. I just had a claim on my insurance from a wild night a buddy and I had a few months ago. I owned that bit of retardedness and paid for it, but now this?! We have gotten to this point in society where honesty and integrity no longer matter it would seem. I look at my beautiful sons and want them to be honorable men but at this moment in time I want to kick the @#$% out of this clown and I don't feel good about it. I am the first to talk something out and be reasonable but in this moment, nope......I want to punch this clown in the mouth....multiple times.
I just dropped $700 on the Edge CS and polished chrome nerf bars.....
Now a fender. Anyone ever thought about spraying their entire vehicle with color match rhino liner LOL?!
Just venting ya'll but I believe we have a duty to be good people. Days like today make we want to open a can of whoop a$$.

They are not like that. Maybe this will make ya feel a little better about society.

My daughter's fiance has a son in Jr High School. One day he was riding his bicycle home and got his pant leg stuck in the chain. While his attention was on getting his pants unstuck (still moving) he hit the back of a parked car. He called his dad at work after he couldn't find who the car belonged to and asked him what he should do. Dad said leave a note on the car with a brief story of what happened and told him to put his Dad's contact info on it. The car was a POS but he (the kid) still felt he needed to try to make it right.

It's been about a week and a half and no word from the owner of the car. Probably just the exercise of responsability was payment enough.

So, there are still good people out there. But I know what you mean about the posterior vent holes we some times have to deal with.

Hope you get it fixed just the way you want it, and soon.

Have you thought about reporting it as a hit and run?

Very rarely do I see people leaving notes anymore. The ones that always get me are when this happens in a church parking lot. Of all the places one would be compelled to leave a note it would be in a church parking lot.


Either way, im sorry to hear about this.

Call cops. Hit and run in a COMMERICAL vehicle is a serious crime!

Isn't COMMERICAL a bank or insurance company?
