Alright, so I'm driving to my gf's house last night, her in the car with me. We are going up a fairly steep hill, and all of the sudden there is this loud BANG as something hits my door. I pull off, get out and yep, there's a dent in it. I'm like, WTF?

I look around on the dark road, can't see anything. We drive up and down the hill 2 times, there is NOTHING on the road or alongside it that could have caused the damage. No debris, nothing. There was nothing in the road before the hit and there was no cars alongside of me that could have kicked something over at me. fooking weird ass shit.

Have an appt today @ 11am to see what the shop says about it.

Yay for comprehensive coverage.

Pic... taken last night with my new cell phone, at a gas station:


Yeah, my car is dirty. I moved the dirt around with my finger as i felt the side of the car.

I'll post more up when i get back from the shop.

 

sounds like you killed a biker who is now dead in the ditch.

 

Chupacabra

 

A tree limb that fell onto the road (out of a tree next to the road), hit your door and then ricocheted off into the woods? That happens here in the Santa Cruz mountains all the time in the winter. Like you said, yay for comprehensive coverage (unless the damage repair cost is less than your deductible).

 

no trees, no ditch, nothing. the road has a sidewalk on both sides. nothing laying on them, by them or anything. it's crazy.

shop is repairing it... they have to replace the entire outer panel.

 

Like I said... Chupacabra!

 

well... there wasn't any goats around at the time... but there is never any goats around there as there are no farms there!

 

well, i found out the secret behind the fit's power....

 

wow i dont know anyone who has more objects hit their fit.

you should get a windshield banner that says "hit me!!"

 

Only one answer to this riddle,

Punk kids! lol

 

that is about the only thing that logically makes sense.

 

that some bad luck you are having with your car. sounds just like my old car.

 

what a mystery? doesnt look like an animal woulda scratched it like that

 

dang matt more body truble with the fit?!?! sucks to hear. but hey atleast its getting repaired

 

yeah jae, you me and mike seem to be in the same boat with body damage...

So far the estimate total is $1260. Should be done by friday or early saturday depending on the paint booth.

 

dang.... matt you have spent more just to keep your fit oem then i have to make mine mostly aftermarket.

 

probably a stupid bird swoopin down and hit ur car at the speed of liight? =]

 

i've exploded birds before on my old truck, they go poof and leave blood.

This left deep scratches in the paint.

 

$500 out of pocket deductible later, she's home!

YAY!

Total was $1260, tax, everything.

 

Glad to hear you got her home! I was guessing maybe a deer ran and hit the side of your car, perhaps the antlers scratched the paint....but surely a hit that hard would've killed the deer, or injured it to the point to where it couldn't have ran off so quickly.
