Ouch, that sucks.

I know it probably isn't any compensation, but someone took a baseball bat to my car's passenger mirror a week ago. Still haven't found the culprit. But not happy at all.

No one, it was an 86 Alfa Romeo I had up for sale in front of my grandfather's house of all places.

Imagine how hard it is to find that mirror, with the right paint too...
The car was all original until now

Funny how you can never catch someone dinging your car.

It sucks, but don't let it effect how you live your life when it comes to using your car.

In the past, I would hesitate to go to certain places because I was afraid my car would get dinged. But after finding a really good paintless ding guy, I really don't worry about dings anymore. I know he can get just about anything out.

It's unfortunately the price you pay for car ownership around lazy people who don't care about others property.

Every year, I simply get my PDR guy to come by and do a group deal for me on all my dings. Usually 2-3 small dings, and maybe a few more very tiny dings. He'll charge me $150 for the whole lot, and the car is dingless again ready for another year. I also buff and polish the car to complete my annual mini cosmetic overhaul.

You'll only be able to find parts for those cars in Europe.
Was it a GTV by any chances?
