I wouldn’t leave a note. If I didn’t turn your Hyundai into a stepside Sonata, I didn’t do enough damage to leave my info.
Now what?

TD, would you risk doing that if surveillance cameras were present?

Actually his salad dressing is the only kind I’ve bought for years lol. I remember being really sad when he died. Cool Hand Luke was one of my favorite movies.

Those guys are on the ball. At least their insurance side of the house.
I’ve been in both situations and I leave a note and do like 3d did. If you’ve got a good insurance company they will take care of everything and it’s just the cost of your deductible. I don’t understand the mentality of just leaving. But I’ve been hit while parked with no note, no reach around, and not even a “fuck you”.

The trick is to drive a car that you don’t care gets damaged, then hope someone hits you. Then their insurance will write you a big check to fix it and you cash that sucker to buy drugs and hookers. [/quote]
lol…I actually used to park my old Scout intentionally next to cars that took up two spots or parked crookedly just to mess with them. I would just climb out the back and chuckle at the thought of them being pissed off enough to see red but not being able to do anything about it.

Avoid reading The Stranger. It will probably depress you. [/quote]
I’m not rusty on Camus, unfortunately. Yes, it was a bit depressing. [/quote]
I actually enjoyed The Stranger, but The Plague–now that was depressing. [/quote]
Haha, are we jacking this thread?
I haven’t read The Plague. I’m looking it up now, and it is often compared to Kafka’s The Trial, which is one of my favorite non-American works of fiction. Can you comment on similarities, beyond the obvious existential themes?[/quote]
Its definitely got a different feeling than The Trial, and there’s lots of different takes on it. But it is literally set in a city that is cut off from the rest of the world and sequestered because of the plague. Basically, lots of people die badly in a very random way and the book is the tale of the way everyone else deals with a very bad and oppressive situation and “normalize” it. I’ve seen some say the “plague” is a metaphor for communism or oppression in general, but shit, there’s a lot of levels to it. Its a good read, but very depressing.

I have about 400 more pages of Against the Day to finish up, and then I’m going to read The Plague. Thank you for bringing it up.
Would keying “sorry” into the paint count as a note while leaving salami all over the car?

I was hoping there would be a picture of that somewhere.

You did say delicious. I wasn’t really singling you out for that comment. Just wanted to make it clear to anyone who thought that bottle with his face on it was not something that is actually pretty special.
I think it’d be good to keep a supply of these in your glove compartment.

I got it right, but I thought Richard Burton was in the movie…was Paul Newman the younger guy?
If you like Richard Burton you should read Beautiful Ruins. Great book whether you like Richard Burton or not.

No, that was George Segal playing the younger guy. I just have this unhealthy obsession with that film (anyone with good taste in comedies does) that I’ve not tried to hide on this site. Fuck, I think I’m going to change my avatar to something from that film. I may have to be sporting a pretty fucked up avatar after this weekend’s Niners game.

And Paul Newman. I bet he would have left a note. And a bottle of delicious salad dressing.[/quote]
Fuck! How could I forget about the manliest of them all?
I met Paul Newman at the inaugural (and now defunct) San Jose Grand Prix about 8 years ago or so. He was racing go-karts and believe it or not, there were a lot of people who didn’t recognize him. I shouted out that I could eat fifty-ONE eggs and he turned around and laughed, then came up and shook my hand. I told him I thought he had the most on-screen charisma of any actor I’ve ever seen and that it was a shame they didn’t make actors like him anymore. He was awesome, and any guy who can compete in the Petits Le Mans at the age of 75 is a real fucking man in my book. Hell, the guy finished in second overall in the 24 Hrs of Le Mans once.[/quote]
Oh jesus, thank god Newman wasn’t an asshole. Phew.
