Thanks - it's felt a little like 'dogpile on lurkette' but I really brought it on myself. And keep coming back for more, oddly

Would your reaction be the same, if there was damage, and she didn't stop or seem sorry about it? If someone hit your Miata, it would almost surely damage at least the paint and maybe more, since it doesn't really have a bumper.[quote]
That might have been a different story - hard to tell, but you're right, I probably wouldn't have been as laid back about it if I had suspected it did some damage.

I drive an RX7 which is similar to the Miata but larger, and it doesn't have a bumper. I just got it out of the paint shop, which cost me approx. $2000. If someone were to hit it, the paint repair would cost me a few hundred dollars. Can you see why I'd be angry if someone damaged my car through carelessness and didn't take responsibility for it, leaving me to foot the bill?

I can see why you'd be angry...I guess what I didn't realize is that people would actually PAY to have little scratches repaired - I just leave 'em. Then again, I live in the south where rust is not an issue. If I lived up north where snow and salt on the road are an issue, again, it might be a different story.
Thank's for being patient with me
