Came out this morning and got in the car, always walk around it first before getting in (check all tire are inflated) and thought at the back of my mind "I don't remember parking with my wheels turned" but getting into the car anyway, starting it up, and going to drive off.
WHOA! What the heck? It's like I've got flat tires, it's going all over the place!
STOP, back up to the curb again, get out. Tires still look okay, weird. Get back in, try just driving forward. Nope, still something not right. Am I still half asleep and leaving the handbrake on? No. Steering wheel definitely doesn't feel right. Get out for another look.
It is then I realize that one wheel is pointing to the left and the other is pointing straight ahead. Only slightly to the left, but that's all that matters. I also notice a rather large SCUFF on the front bumper.
Some COMPLETE ****ING TW*TOCK has driven right into the front of my car, hitting in such a way as to catch the front ****ing wheel and wrench it sideways, knackering the steering. And then ****ed off like the total and utter **** that they are, no note, no nothing.
Had to phone work, quickly suit up and bike in to work (while grinding my teeth). A front wheel drive car with ****ed steering is going to cost a bloody fortune to put right, my insurance policy is only four days old, they are gonna LOVE me!
(it's not even the first time this has happened - I don't live far from Caerphilly Castle and during The Big Cheese three years ago the car was parked in the same spot and some bozo whacked it... nice big dent in the hood, and again they just drove off and left me with a no longer pristine car)
