Ah yeah and wouldn't be parking a 911 in Manhattan either for the same reason I've just experienced. Wonder if you'd say the same for your car hit and damaged with no contact info left. Would you say they're just fenders if it were your car? Just sayin...
It doesn't even need to be in the street, it's a dent and scratch every week in my parking garage...from the guy I tip! The attendants seem to just bounce them off one another daily and it just seems fruitless and pedantic to check it everyday. Twenty + years ago, when I was new to driving my then new 996 C4 into the city, I was making a quarterly visit to the dealer body shop guy, who thought I had lost my marbles fixing bumper scars and a few door dents...after a year or two I came around to his thinking. In any event, I will say once you get used to the character marks, which ain't easy, it is kind of liberating. Use it, let it get abused, get everything you want out of it and dispose...there something to be said for it. But, we've all got are foibles.

That said, a few years ago an attendant somehow managed to drive my S63 out of the garage across the street and into the step of a building on the opposite side, spoiler under the front wheels and coolant everywhere....NYPD, sidewalk closed, tow truck, what a scene. Made them pay for that one!

Looks like new. I guess another reason to get a Launch analyzer and clear the codes yourself.

As an aside, what's the power drain of the camera once the engine is turned off? Does it have a battery sensor to turn itself off? Would you leave it running by 40 below for 4 hours? I realize it's not likely at Hickam but in more "Northern" climes...

Congrats on the fix!
