First Ding

Im driving around on my campus this afternoon, and i am at a stop sign. I am a very cautious driver (never even gotten a speeding ticket) and i start to turn left, i get about halfway through my turn when out of nowhere some jerk is sprinting across the street and decides to do a maddenesque hurdle move over my hood !!!! I got a nice dent and a nice scratch from what im guessing to be one of those faggy chains that attatches wallet to belt loop. If i wouldnt have been so shocket i would have definitely exited my vehicle and made a similar dent and scratch on his face. However by the time i snapped out of a momentary lapse of reality, the kid was long gone in a crowd of people. My car is only 3 weeks old and this is a nasty way to get my first ding, does anyone have any stories like this that may help me feel better about mine? Sorry for starting a pity thread.

P.S. Is $350 a decent install price for GM stage 2?

My friend decided to back his Cobalt into my Cobalt last week. Rubbed the back side, took some paint off and left some scratches on the back bumper. Luckily I noticed this happening and was able to yell before he caused more damage. Very frustrating though.
