The place I was in a drive way where you can park on either side. It allow for traffic to go down the middle of the drive way. The space I was in, is the very last one...and its the only one that other cars can park next to you. There is two more parking spaces, on the other side of the sidewalk then the building.

The side walk goes along the spaces and the side of the building...
In front of me was the corner of the building and about four other cars parked in a row, I was the 5th one.

I do think the SUV hit it now...but there wasn't any paint from another car on my car. But they must of been really Fu***** UP to drive over the sidewalk!!

Sorry to see that man... Now you have to go through the huge mission of paint matching. Spa Yellow, from what I understand, is nearly impossible to match the paint. < sigh >

That makes me so glad I have a garage. I didn't get a sports car until I first
bought a house with two car garage (one big door.) It would just kill me to
park my S2000 outside, subject to the tender mercies of whomever happens
by.

Are there any marks on the wheel. If not, it had to be a SUV. If he had to drive up on the side walk, the dumba$$ probably never new he/she hit your car. You should have to get a special drivers license to drive an SUV. The idiot is probably home cursing that someone with a yellow vehicle clipped his SUV

I was out for the night, I have a garage...and she sleeps very soundly in it every night..

The worst thing is they could of not driven forward because there wasn't enough space between the building and my car...they would have had to do a lot more damage to do that...

The as$hole, jumped the side walk hit my car...said oh, I can't go that way...then backup up...and drove off...

Your are correct YELLOW is a Bitc* to match...I am on my third try from the side swipe earlier this month...

That really sucks. I hate when people do this and don't leave a note. Most SUVs and trucks have chrome bumpers, so that's probably why it didn't leave any paint marks.

Ballmount on a SUV or Pick-up is my guess.
Probably not a soccer mom (she would have left a note) so
I bet it was some bonehead from the trailer park.

Bicycle...it looks like to me. Well, I bet they got tossed over your car when they hit too. And hopefully they bent up a really expensive Campagnolo wheel in the process. Good luck with it...
