Definitely looks like a vehicle caused the accident. Because of the height of impact and the acute indentation, I would also think that an SUV-type vehicle hit it, with the ballmount creating the dent in that location.

Damn bastards they have no respect ... I hope you get it repaired 100% soon.

Is it me or does it look like somebody just came up and kicked it really hard? Like a large cowboy boot straight on with a bit of down force.

If an SUV hit it, it had to be low enough not to ride up and scratch the fender up top. If it was a bumper, it would seem that it would have hit the tire as well and possibly the rim. See any damage there?

Then again, it could have been a cattle-catcher or something. Stranger things have happened

Where where you when this happened? I've seen drunk bastards kick and scratch cars in Deep Ellum and Lower Greenville on a few occasions (not to mention a few urination incidents). I usually park at a friends house and get a cab when getting my drink on down there. Too dangerous. Fun, but dangerous.

Anyhoo, sorry to hear about that. Feel even worse seeing the damage. People suck

No other damage..that is what is so strange...no scratch on the rim, tire or any where else on the car.

I think I want to change my vote from other to bat, I know it's definetly not a foot and probably not a ball, but it could be a bat.

I experienced a similar disaster (though mine was an intentional rock throwing incident) and bought a new fender for about $300.00. I then took the old fender and the new fender to the shop that repairs the new Hondas damaged in shipment in my area. They were the only ones I trusted to match the factory paint without blending the paint into the door and hood. To my surprise, they preferred to fix the old fender (which has the VIN # on it) and blend the paint on it alone! My car is Silverstone and I defy anyone to tell which fender it was. (50 -50 chance of being right so I won't bet $$$$) You might consider that approach - the fender is easy to remove and you can keep your car safe while they work on the fender - just a thought!

Any final verdict on the cause. I gotta think that's a cowboy boot...
