Thanks!
Herve: I'm in TMR. I was parked in the arena parking lot, a good distance from anyone backing up! It was quite surprising that anyone could have backed into it, and with a fair bit of force!

Last three cars including the Boxster have been run into by other people. All of them too busy to pay attention. The whole distracted driver thing has gotten out of hand!

As any Boxster driver knows, especially when you are getting into the car from the curb when parked on the left side of the road, thes cars are very low! So I can understand the distracted soccer mom or dad backing their SUV into my little friend. But to just shrug and drive off? Do some people have no concience?

Cool Hit and Run

WOW! If this sort of thing happens to the friendly folks in Canada, imagine what we put up with in the States (especially in Florida).
May the accident avoidance force be with you.

Ok, I'm not too surprised. I've seen quite a few soccer moms doing stuff like this in the area. Good luck with the repair, hope your car will get back to what it was before.
