So my parked car was in a collision with another parked car..
I took my car to the shop down the street from me to get the starter replaced since it decided to commit suicide.
They had to keep it over night because the part didn't get there until late, said they'd call me in the morning to have me come pick it up.
They called me this morning, good news and bad news.
Good news is, the starter is fixed.
Bad news - the battery cables are corroded.
Also bad news, my car needs to go to a body shop in order to get the front bumper fixed.
Apparently, they had the car up on the lift overnight, parked another car under it. The lift failed, down came my car (over the course of like 5 hours) and it fucked up the front bumper - well pretty much everything between the radiator and the front of the car. My OEM SS hood was saved though I believe, although it won't close anymore because the bumper is pushed up into the way lol.
I got there a few hours later after dicking with a rental car company (reason #048083406830468 why I should get a second car), and they hadn't even called the other guy yet. I went there laughing about it, I just wanted to see how bad it was. Yelling won't solve anything and before I could even ask how it happened he told me it was going to a body shop on Monday, I'd be getting a rental car and they would fix EVERYTHING that they damaged with zero out-of-pocket cost to me. The guy sounded like he was going to be fired, sounded like he had his tail between his legs and I guess was expecting me to start screaming. Somehow I don't think the other guy is going to be so understanding.
So there you have it, my car hit another parked car - with nobody in the building. Fun stuff!
I'll try to take pics of it Monday before it gets towed to the body shop, driving by before it looked fuuuucked up from a distance, but up close it's really not that bad.
