I think the new neighbors are complete assholes.

Why would you park a car like that in the street?

+1. i've seen that kind of thing happen before also.

Dumps transmission fluid. Driveway not an option. Once I replace the front seal it won't be in the street anymore. Doesn't really matter I'm about to take her to the paint shop today. I bumped out the fender, I just need trim now.

They make pans for that. Not judging, but I'd have 5 layers of cardboard underneath before I parked it there. Good luck with the repairs, it sucks that they seem to be hiding their guilt.

Damn, leave it red and white....lol. a good wax job and the paint will look almost brand new

Driveways can be washed off, dents can't be.

Its not my driveway. Pan or not I respect the owners wishes not to park a car that has a leak on a brand new driveway. That was the respect I wish the neighbors gave me and my property. I was not expecting a giant red car to be invisible when they were backing out of a driveway to a vacant house either. Live and learn.

Hey Kevin, I will save you the red paint of you like it. It will be all over the shop floor by tomorrow afternoon. Just let me know and I will sweep it into a box for you.

One thing about a large SUV with a hitch, they might not have even felt it, and don't actualy know that they hit it, (especially a young driver). A buddy of mine bumped into one of my cars once, and he didn't even know he did it until i told him, and then showed him on the security cameras. They might be really cool about it and just cash you out right there, you never know till you go talk to them. I'd do it before you fix it though. I'd also have a retail repair estimate handy, and offer to drop the price a little for cash on the spot, and to not involve their insurance company.
