Wow, that sounds like some bad luck. I'm guessing from the photos that this is another car besides your 45th edition RS Camaro?

It also sounds like parking overnight in a school faculty parking lot on the weekend is a bad place to be. Were the other hit and runs there also?

Um I'm in college...
Have a black LFX...
With a ZL1 grille...
And currently a bug massacre scene on the fascia...
And park on the corner spot of the entrance/exit...

I feel you BIGtime!
Yeah I have been fearing someone clipping me for a while! Not going to park there anymore. Is it well lit? I would say check security surveillance but you couldn't see a plate #. Sorry to hear about that bro. You could...think about a Zl1 bumper now!

Edit: if your RS badge was on the ground, why is there a ZL1 badge missing from the grill?

It's a 2LT with a ZL1 grille, but I still put the RS badge on it because it's not a ZL1.

I was in a parking lot that literally did not have another car in it. I was the only car in the parking lot. Somebody probably dropped someone off and backed into my car.

It is my 45th. The first hit and run was at the library and last year it was at the upperclassman housing. This year it was in the faculty parking lot right in front of my honors student housing.

Somebody... probably with a beat up pickup truck... doesn't like you.

ssrs2lt · 09-15-2014, 05:53 AM

yeah sorry, that sucks

slakjak1215 · 09-15-2014, 06:43 AM

That sucks man, sorry to see that happen to you. Luckily the college I park at has a huge garage and I always get a spot free, its far away but i don't mind walking. Anywhere else you could park?

goinggone14 · 09-15-2014, 09:25 AM

Why aren't you parking near cameras? If your college's parking garage/lots don't have cameras than you're lucky you even have a car to go back to. In public places, I always park near camera fixtures; priority #1.

That way, if anything happens you just go check it out - easy police report.

Get yourself a good dash cam that will detect motion when you're not driving.

Wow, people these days.

Some idjit hit my car at the campus garage shortly before I left. Never caught them either. The feelz man.

95% of a campus can't drive, I'm thoroughly certain of these numbers no matter the university. What I used to do is I made friends with all the other nice car drivers and we parked together. The one day I didn't take the extra step to find said friend and some ass commander hit the car.

Oh well. Live and learn.

Our parking lots don't have cameras.

A black car can be very hard to see at night especially if the other driver has tinted windows

Angrybird 12 · 09-15-2014, 08:46 PM

I am a firm believer in the Jinxed Car syndrome. There are some cars that just seem to get hit or damaged over and over again. I had one that got hit 3 times and had a tree fall on it all in two years. Got rid of the car and the next few cars never got any damage. Then I got another car where the paint got damaged at work 3 times in a year and a half. Had to be repainted . I got rid of that car and never had paint damage at work again...
I said those cars were Jinxed. Time to get a new car.
