Back in 1979, I was getting ready to head home for the holidays but had to stop by a friends apartment, before hitting the road. i was driving a 74 corvette and had parallel parked in on the street in front of the apartment complex.
Prior to leaving my friends apt, I stepped into the bathroom, did my business and started to leave. My buddy comes through the front door of his apartment, white as a ghost and says "Man, somebody just hit your car"
I go outside and my car is about 60 feet from where it had been parked. it was knocked up over the curb and the entire left rear quarter panel was gone, along with most of the back bumper and rear deck fiberglass. The dude that hit my car was standing next to his.
Guy was drunker than a skunk. Cops showed up but could only write him up for public intoxication. I ended up having to take a Greyhound bus home to my parents house to make the Christmas holiday.
I finally got my car back from the repair shop 6 months later.
