Default Inspection Fail

I get my car inspected at Bull City Auto in Cary (too impatient to do it at the dealership where I normally go + being 2 months due)..pay and get my car outside to see that it's been parked so far in the space it's over the &*#^$*^ curb!
WTF! This is what happens when you let someone else touch your shit!
Dammit I am so pissed!
Luckily I had already planned to work on the front bumper due to the rock chips, lip and my mistakes- but damn! - I mean what if my car was lower than stock or if it was the bumper of a more expensive car I've been thinking of driving around?

I'm sorry that happened to you.. That automotive place should pay for your damages. I know my dealership would have to pay for something like that.

First day of my new job I pulled into a spot that had standard height curbs. I knew the nose would clear so I eased up. I didn't see the piece of rebar the slid under my bumper an clicked itself back behind the lip. Guess what happened when I backed up!

Make them pay for it. Their shop insurance will cover it.

Hell yeah, if they f@#ked something up, make them pay! No regard for someones' property. Prick asses, it probably took him an hour to figure out how to start the car also.

took him over a minute..just about when i was gonna go outside and help him, he got it started.

There wasn't any more damage than usual that I could tell- I was really more enraged at the ignorance and assholery of it all.
I should have left right when the other guy behind the counter looked at my Registration and then asked me 'Accord'?! but I was more worried about passing with that hole and rattle in the exhaust...
