first blood

Well it's finally happened - my new car doesn't look quite so new anymore. Not sure exactly where or when it happened, but there are now some chunks of paint taken off the left rear bumper. All I know is that it was a white car. It could've happened anywhere between my house and somewhere in Brisbane, and any time before Sunday. Actually, now that I think about it, it had to be after Saturday night - I washed my car that night (my first drive-thru car wash), and since there were white paint remnants left on my car, it had to have been after that. Oh well, I guess the first bit of damage to a brand new car is always the worst, because it goes from perfect to not-so-perfect. It had to happen at some stage. Now the floodgates have opened, and any further damage sustained sometime down the track won't feel so bad.

Anyway, can I ask a favour of you? It would be cool if you could just vandalise any white cars you see with battlescars suggesting a collision with a black Liberty. That would be very much appreciated. Actually, that wouldn't really achieve much, would it... Revenge may be sweet, but I guess I'll never know whether one of the many cars I take my frustration out on is actually the perpetrator. Oh well, it's the best I can do.

Maybe I should call in the guys from CSI. They usually shine their different coloured lights on everything, swab stuff, hypothesise about what happened from different viewpoints, pull out some real corny lines here and there, and figure it all out in an hour, including ad breaks.
