Sad Day for a MINI Owner

At least no one was hurt. Jerks that leave the scene of accidents just really make me angry though.

Oh, I can feel that pain. B**stard! They'll find the person, eventually, around town. They always skulk back to the scene. Poor little Winnie.

Reminds me of a neighbor of mine, who, many years ago, kept a very mint Honda Civic, the micro version. Unfortunately, she had parellel-parked it in front of her apartment between two sedans. During the early morning hours, someone ran a stoplight and crashed into the sedan behind her car. It was accordianed between the two. Looked like a sad slinky.

It's been pretty unreal here, with all of the hit and runs lately. To sad for anyone who has to go thru it. Lots of uninsured drivers here and lots of heartache for everyone.

Uninsured probably. Drunk, no doubt.

Oh wow that stinks, hopefully they find who did that and make him pay. I hate hit and runs, happened to my car but wasn't as bad.

That much damage from a vehicle parked a few feet away? I don't think so !
That looks like 30 MPH at least. My own personal feelings getting involved here, but I'm guessing immigration status plays a large part in this one.
