I can stop by the precinct after work I guess. Will call insurance and discuss. Body shop wise I took my GTI to Cavallo's auto body in Newtown Square with good results so I'd probably do the same here. WRB is a pearl paint and I'd imagine rather easy to fuck up.fledonfoot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:12 amFile a police report and call the insurance company. Get the car to a good body shop.

It might just be beater time. Door ding, yeah that happens anywhere. Egg on car... wtf. I can't really have nice things until I'm no longer parking stuff in public or out in the open who am I kidding. This is the second most extreme thing I've had happen to my cars. Most extreme was my Focus got side swiped on the street by a new retard driver. Fortunately her air bags deployed and I got her info. But that car was royally fucked, whole rear quarter had to be replaced.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:14 amAnywhere with a dense concentration of people like this, stupid shit is going to happen.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:08 am

They're actually providing us with our Holiday dinner today. I'll talk to them and show them the pics if their manager shows up.

I'd be searching Saabarus. Still fun to drive, and fit a bunch of stuff in there, insurance is cheap because "Saab", etc.

They're really friendly. Every time I've used them they've done a nice job and were rather quick.fledonfoot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:27 amCavallo's are good.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:17 am

I'm guessing the entire roof needs to be painted but who knows. I literally have no clue what happens in this sort of scenario. I should also have whoever does the roof address the door dings.

I'll start looking for a beater.
I'm so upset by this. The door ding I can deal with and is a result of negligence and negligent people are everywhere. This? This is straight up vandalism with intentional damage.

A solid buffing/cutting and some C-Quartz to protect it. I'd personally on demt removal, full detail and paint correction all under the umbrella of "repair roof paint" and hit up insurance if possible.

It would be hard to not get upset by this, IMO. It's some serious Just shit people, man.

Fix roof with new paint job and door ding, shop will detail it I think (they usually do so ) and then offload it for a beater and give up on cars for a while.Tarspin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 10:36 amDetroit wrote: I'd try to clean it up the best I could, and maybe do some basic DIY detailing to see how screwed it really is.

Beater recommendations?
-Under $10k
-Under 100k miles
-Reliable
-Preference for automatic and larger motor
-Street parkable so 180" in length or less is desirable
-Needs at least a back seat, back doors would be ideal
I also can't deal with cars that have horrible body control. The older Wranglers and Panther frame cars are totally out of the picture. Older SUVs might too. Too much swaying or floaty suspension will cause me to barf even if I'm driving.

Probably not. The car might get a ding on the carfax.
