Good on Scott. We all make mistakes. Few people own up to their mistakes.

I am sure you know of a good body shop...

Looks like it won't be too bad to get it fixed, hopefully the bumper can be salvaged, and the R & R of the tail lights should be a no-brainer. I'm sad to see this happen, but fortunately he did the right thing!

Been there before. Came back from a red eye from Alaska on business and arrived at airport (yes, the airport) to find my SUV like this. Window busted out, electronics stripped, and even took my garage door opener.

But no note.

Bummer--credit to the person who left a note though. **** happens.

At least City Sprint Delivery has an honest driver.

I called and they were very apologetic. It's an easy fix, so no worries. Will give me a chance to get the 2S grill and turbo ducts painted. Sprint is a hot shot courier service and I control their fairly substantial contract with my company. I'm certain there will be no issue getting compensation. Besides, it's just a car....

Not too bad. Scott at least is a responsible and mature adult and will own up to it. When I lived in Taiwan, my VW was side swiped twice, and backed into three times during a period of less than 2 years....and NEVER A NOTE. At least we live in a civilized country, thats all I can say.

Too bad but very honest to leave a message. This is not typical anymore and you are lucky. Might be an opportunity to go with a European bumper

That guy's parents deserve a "Job well done" pat on the back. They raised him right!

You guys are right, I was very fortunate and I'll make sure Scott is not punished for this.
