Call the police and report it as a hit-and-run. Then call your insurance company and file an uninsured motorist claim.

Claim it on the insurance - I think it goes under uninsured motorist, and as for chasing - all you needed was his plate number...

his plate was on the front..... he had a "bite me" licenseplate in the back.... man id love to accidently bump into this guy. upon further review it doesnt look like my paint got scrated, and might be able to save that at least, it is dented in, and really messed up the front lines of the car.... i hope some professionals can fix my baby up good as new.... as for now... my birthdays ruined.... bring on the smirnoff!

Wow, that is weird. I had a vanity plate that said BITE ME for many years (not in Florida). The state took it away from me when a citizen complained that it was "offensive." If that was their plate, it is very easy to track. You can also get it taken away from them!

Had a hit and run incident as well, but when I wasn't even in the car.

Right front fender damage, $611 to fix from a body shop that my dealership says scion and toyota both go to. Luckily, I know some guy who is a manager of a body shop and fixed it for me for $250.

Warning: Could result in a serious ___ beating if you put all the rounds in the tailgate and don't save at least one for the driver.

sucks to hear about your beautiful ride. atleast you saw the person do it. i was parked at work and some one hit my rear bumper, left 3 nice deep knicks in it. i guess i can just call them speed holes.

Eh.. not if you have a heavy gun.. "weight is a sign of reliability"... if you run out of ammo, beat him with it.

I had a paintless dent removal service done on my tC at Dent Wizard a couple months ago, and they did an absolutely spectacular job. I would highly recommend them. They also fix scratches and the like.
