I feel your pain. This guy is not worthy to be called "driver". It puzzles how, to this day, with proximity sensors, bigger mirrors and parking cameras one might still have blind spots. I get that sensors and cameras might be costly, but the damn mirrors, they are not for vanity...This year alone, 2 people almost pushed of the road because they either had something better to do, than, you know, driving, or they had no ideea and interest on how to setup and check their sideview mirrors.Spring has just about arrived in Estonia as well. Still need some green stuff on the trees but the weather is getting nice. Little sunset drive. Car is dusty with a mix of dust and probably pollen and such.
Also, the first picture is from the 'good side' at the moment... Unfortunately the left rear looks a little bit worse.

While driving into my apartment parking lot, I have to wait for the gate to open. I followed another car in and that guy stopped, stayed standing still, so I pulled in behind him waiting for my gate to open. There was another car behind me and not moving forward meant the car behind me was blocking a busy road. I was standing behind the guy for 5-10 seconds, my gate is open. I'm just pulling in and the first guy backs into my rear bumper...

Of course, according to him it is all my fault. Shouldn't have pulled in behind him, why would I do that etc. I told him I was standing there for a solid 5-10 seconds and that he should check his mirrors before backing up. He claimed he did and that I was not there and he didn't see me. I suggested he go pick up some glasses if he can't see a bright red car standing 2 meters behind him.
Anyway, that damage will hopefully be fixed this weekend/beginning of next week. Repaint of the bumper part and replacement of the black plastic. I've yet to hear whether it will be fully covered by the guys insurance or if I'll have to cough up my deductible/"own risk" as well. The guy that hit me lives next to me, so if he ends up not paying anything, perhaps some nasty crap will start hitting his car from above every day (I'm on the fifth floor with a balcony overlooking his parking, and I can be petty like that if I'm in the mood, hehe ).
They will also put on the Pirelli's again for summer and after that I'm aiming to get the car detailed and ceramic coated for easier cleaning. Might remove the Hyundai and i30 from the rear as well before coating it.
Stuff happens, sorry!Spring has just about arrived in Estonia as well. Still need some green stuff on the trees but the weather is getting nice. Little sunset drive. Car is dusty with a mix of dust and probably pollen and such.

https://n-cars.net/forums/threads/racing-stripes.3602/Hi, looking for a picture of a red one with a black stripe over the front, top and rear. A little bit like a Mustang
Wheels are fantastic. I will be doing that sooner or later for sureThought I might show what my car is looking like. Only had it a week and have modded it already with a few more planned.
