Well the story goes...Friday night, I had to park the car outside in the street on the curb since the entire drive way was already full of cars. I always had this feeling that someone would one day hit either a person or a car (my car) on our humble 25 mph street. I went to sleep about midnight and heard nothing out of the ordinary as I sometimes do. I woke up and watched the toons with the kids on saturday morning and my wife was about to use the accord to go to pick up my daughter's cake from the bakery for her birthday and she came back inside and told me, "You are not gonna like what I have to tell you". I thought that someone stole my deck or the optima battery (they are that pathetic around here) and went for a look see. Someone hit and run the driver's side front corner of the car. The fender was gone, the tire rim (steelie) had battle damage and major camber due to the hit, and the bumper support is pinched, causing the pop-up light to stick.
I removed the fender, found the vacuum lines to one of the smaller air boxes completely broken, the parking light was completely obliterated into tiny pieces, and some misc. part were destroyed like the parking light harness and wires, the reservoir lines for the washers and my spirit.
A lady, whom we have been on bad terms with, came out and told us a party was going on after 1 a.m. and some people were street racing, most noteably a truck and a late model camaro. She said that she heard a llarge crash and went to see and the car sped off. I found a dark blue paint scratch on my fender, but that's it. I pulled the car in and will begin putting her back together.
I just can't understand how I did not hear anything, not that it would have done any good since they sped off. I am just glad it was not a person like the kids in the area or something to that effect.
