Ouch... that Volvo took that badly.
Modern cars always look terrible after a front end smash, the idea is the not people containing bits of the car deform as much as possible to dissipate as much energy as possible. From the side it probably has a completely scrunched up bonnet but the rest will look fine. Not the same as some old tin can where the top of the A pillar and the sills buckle so the doors don't open and bits of the bodywork hit the occupants!Blayney said:

This is my car. As you can see the front is caved in after somebody hit it at speed. I found it like this, where I left it, on the correct side of the road, pointing in the correct direction. And no it wasn't hit by an irate mummy and her buggy because it has two wheels on the kerb...
Remnants of the offending car's brake lights were found on the ground in front of what is left of the front of my car. No offending car to be seen...
It had the police perplexed for a while...

Well the police's first thought was criminal damage.
But why, if you decided to take exception to me, the car, the world or whatever, would you reverse your own car into my car to cause the damage? Why not take a screw driver to it, the wheels etc? Unless you stole a car to do it, but then why go to all that bother.
Plus I'm a nice guy

Well I've only just spotted this thread, so I've had a year or so to calm down. However I can assure you that a powerfully built company director, there would have been hell on if I'd found the perp when it actually happened....
No need for violence, just hammer frozen sausages into their lawn...
Well it turned out that it was crashed into by the son of somebody who had just moved into the village. He was away at university, came home late at night, drove past his new house, realised he'd missed his turning, stopped, slammed it into reverse and promptly drove backwards in a huff at speed.
Unfortunately my car is black as hell, so he didn't see it in his review mirror and promptly rammed it.
He then panicked, sped off down the road, then promptly failed to make a sharp 90degree corner just as you leave the village. He ended up, upside down in the field.
Fortunately he had the good grace to reconsider his actions (after much 'encouragement' from the farmer whose fence he had just destroyed) and turned up on my doorstep the next morning to fess up and apologise.
Tbh I had slept on it by now and was sufficiently relieved that I would not have to stand the cost of my excess, that I was remarkably calm with him.
