Oh joyous day.

I was heading out to make a quick run to 7-11 when I saw this:



They also hit the Lincoln but barely damaged it..



God save them if I find out who did it....

And drove off?

Failing to stop for an accident should carry a 6 month ban. It's laughable just how little this kind of stuff is punished

Can you tell the colour of the vehicle that did this? I imagine they'll have visible damage too, perhaps it's someone local.

On a different note, do you have more photos of the Lincoln? Looks nice from what I can see

Yes, hit and run. No note, no nothing.

I'm really pissed off as you can imagine. The Lexus is also going to need a headlamp assembly, and a steering rack and probably a new wheel as well.

Here's the Lincoln... 1960 Lincoln Premiere coupe, one of 1,368 Premiere coupes made and one of perhaps 15 survivors.



I have lots of pics of the Lincoln and I'm happy to post them biggrin its my "baby". Here's a few from Manhattan a few weeks back..








And more images of the carnage on the Lexus:



And the Lexus, pre-smash.. With my '54 Ford Customline

I'm sure they have substantial damage. All that was left at the scene was some plastic bits of a license plate frame. It's silver... That's about all I know.

I've had the same miserable situation. I even saw the culprit (from a distance). Didn't twig as to what they were doing or see the damage until later, by which time all I could remember was 'anonymous red stbox.'

First estimate is over $11,000.... Amongst other things it needs a headlight assembly and a steering rack..
