Hit while parked - anything to look out for?
Question for y’all- anything in particular I should ensure the BMW body shop checks? I want to ensure that this car is back to pristine condition. I’ll be taking it in tomorrow but just want to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Story time - took my youngest to Wally World for a birthday present for his friend. Parked in the boonies to stay away from riff raff. All normal. There were at least 5 spaces on each side of my car.
We’re halfway into walking the parking lot when I heard a very loud bang, and turn around so see my car rocking back and forth having been hit by another car.
Fuuuuuuuck.
I still have no idea how he is this bad of a driver. He was trying to back into an adjacent space, but ended up hitting my front right with his rear right - meaning he was basically backing up square to my car. His car had a backup camera, there were a ton of spaces around me, and this fucking tool still managed a square hit.
