Someone side swiped our Prius today...

That sucks, hope you will find who did it.

 

Major bummer, sad to hear it happened.

 

Had that happen to me and Fry's would not share the video camera data with me. I was so mad that id didn't buy anything at Fry's for two or three weeks.

 

Pretty standard practice it seems. A laptop was stolen from my wife's car while parked at a gym (I know ) and the place refused to say whether the security camera revealed anything but would share with the police if contacted.

 

Sometimes it can't be avoided but this is one more reason why I always park as far a way as possible. My wife gets so upset w me and I don't understand why? We're going into Walmart to walk around and shop for an hour but she absolutely can not stand it if she has to walk an extra 30 sec to get into the store???

 

Just wrap a giant memory foam mattress around the entire car and you'll be completely safe...

The More You Know

 

that's not side swiped. that's a NYC car kiss


this side swiped

 

Cover that area? No, get it repaired.

 

This is easy repaired by most body shops. I had a, um, "situation" where one of my vehicles accidentally ran into another of my vehicles. Both plastic bumpers where scratched up much worse than in your photos.Took them to a shop that perfectly matched the color and you can't tell there was ever any damage in the first place.

 

The exact same thing/damage happened to me. I was paid a little more than $600 by the person's insurance company. I kept the money without repairing the damage. You can't even see that it was damaged unless you get really close.

This all happened at my office, and luckily, the parking attendant stopped the person from driving off.

And if it helps, the repair people said they would take off the bumper cover and send it someplace. It would be completely repainted, not just painted in the damaged area.

I plan on filling and spray painting the area when I get the chance (and motivation).

It was less than $500, but that was for two vehicles.

I briefly considered painting but realized that I was only going to get close and not enough to completely repair the cosmetic damage. Trust me on this one --- I needed to have all evidence completely eliminated in order to let go of my anger.

 

I got your back, I won't buy anything there either for a month or two

 

Terrible. I'm not even going to visit their website for at least a few days.

 

+1, I do that too. ppl just don't give a f@ck about other ppl's stuff.
Besides, it doesnt take that much more time or energy to walk the extra distance.

I saw the title, and that someone did a full on swipe into the prius.
