Many thanks to my town's cleaning crew.. They backed in to my parked car. I guess 7 years is a long time in NJ to go without paintwork.

BTW, picture is right side up, not sure why vbulletin rotates it.

That sucks!

I suppose the silver lining is that they had the courtesy of limiting the damage to one body panel (from what i can tell).

Photo shows correctly when clicked on.

All true. I guess a new door and blend adjoining panels... Worse than the car getting paintwork is some NJ law limiting state/municipalities. When at fault, they will only pay if the victim does not have collision coverage. They are at fault and I do have coverage, so they will pay my deductible but not a penny more. And while I will provide the information to my insurance company, this will be a claim on my insurance.

Not to far from the truth. Jerry Clarkson, “The Porsche 911 is a glorified Volkswagen Beetle.” Ironically, my father said something similar when I purchased my 997.2.
