Dude, that f*ckn sucks.
Not that it'll make you feel any better but..
Exactly 2 weeks ago a ConEd truck swung open his friggin door and pegged my FR fender hard enough to take off about a 1" swath of paint and dent it in almost a cm.
I would have to write a letter to their main office as well as to their lawyers' in order to seek compensation, but bottom line was I didn't have any bodywork/paintwork on my car, and now if I fight and get lucky I just might. I know they wont pay for a new fender to be hung and the paintwork at best is a hit or miss.. lose - lose.
