Unhappy Hit and run

Well college just started and that means insane parking at my school. Anyways the parking lot is chaos. I parked my Matrix XR on a space that is parallel to a curb. I'll try to make a diagram.

curb
---- ---- ----
XR car car
open path
=other car
=other car
=other car
=other car
=other car

Anyways I parked there and went to class. When I came back...BAM..Huge dent on the right rear door. No info left on my windshield(duh). I notice some black paint on the door. I'm guessing someone turned to wide and hit my car or backed up into it. It is really painful lookin at my door. I was wondering how much it costs to replace the door? No digi cam so cant post pics... Nothing is wrong with it. Just a huge dent....Thanks

ah yes. parallel parkin on the side of the street at college. I live on campus so i dont have to worry but ive seen cars get hit many times.......especially by hot college chicks who cant park.

this one chick in a mercedes took like 15 mins one day to park. She just could not do it. It was funny to watch

This is why evryone should own a spray gun

dude just take the door off and bust out the malot. if your like me, you can make it look mint in a day or too of hardcore artistic hammering. just make shure you have some filler to take care of any crease marks. dont forget to sand to the primer and then spray.
