OK so here's what happened. I talked to Eric about it and he recommended that I just talk to the neighbor (from here on out referred to as Jim) but doubted any good would come from it. Me, being one to not run from problems but rather confront them put on my sneakers and walked up towards the 10 (guessing at least) bedroom mansion on the hill....
...Jim is outside pruning his grapes, as I walk up he stands and I introduce myself as he eyes me sideways...and says "I threw rocks up all over your truck huh?"
I didn't even have to ask, he said "just get me an estimate and I'll submit it to my insurance company".
We then went on talking about performance cars and it turns out he has a Porsche with Rotary conversion he built, rides motorcycles and thinks California is full of money grabbing politicians as much as I do. So now I take my truck to my painter, I just hope it will cost less than I'm thinking to fix everything because the guy was pretty sorry and took full responsibility for the damages.

good to hear that there is a few stand up guys left in this world!
I respect everyone's car's whether they are very nice or junk, I still respect them, and if something happened to one of them and it was my fault, I would go tell them right away and get it fixed as fast as I could!

We live in a disposable society (my words for when I'm pissed about a situation & gettin on my soapbox)
People don't respect others stuff, nor barely respect their own. Vehicles are just transportation to most. They'll gladly pull out in front of you, back into you, etc. w/ no regard to consequences. They don't want to be troubled w/ stoppin to do the right thing. Takin kids to soccer or ballet, that ****. Or it'll cost them $, higher insurance, or both.
