Default yes, LXOGOOD was right..... the curse hasn't ended....

yeah, it's not ended yet.... (well ok, read the following "happily" ok? )

so as most of you know, i drive my gs4 daily to work. me and my coworker we both love cars so we always park together away from othe people to avoid door dings, etc... been working out very well, until....

today morning suddenly my coworker called me from outside, he went "umm.... henry, can you come to your car now?" "huh? MY car?" "yeah... now... bad news"

before i fainted, i rushed to my car, and he showed me the damage. he was backing into the space next to me, but too close, and his pessenger side rear bumper clipped on my driver side front bumper....

now here's the good news. lexus makes very strong stuff i tell ya. my bumper didn't deform at all (at least not that i can see), some of the xpel protection bra peeled off, and some very tiny scratches on the bumper. THAT'S IT!!!!!

his car is worse.... he just got this new rsx-s, his whole pessenger side rear bumpe was cracked, pushed out, all clips broken...

he asked me if i wanted to call insurnace, i told him not to worry about mine, let me buff them out and see, hopefully he jst needs to pay for my new xpel. i also told him to worry more about his bumper, coz' now he has to replace the whole thing for sure, so that's more money to him.

i guess he's happy that i am not going through his insurnace, or he'd be dead with the premium raise. he knows how much i love my car so he was so scared i was going to punch him haha.... oh well, i guess it's time to learn how to take things easy?

so yeah, the moral of the story, it's never too safe hey at least i still don't have door dings

that really really sucks, at least the damage was minimal and nobody got hurt, but sad to see such a beautiful car get bumped, hopefully this curse doesnt last too long, when the last curse went around my car get keyed kicked and jumped on, hopefully it stops now.

ok, just for the fun, when he first called me, i was in the bathroom doing some "business", the phone rang (vibrate mode) and i saw his name, and i already asked myself why is he calling me (very unusual)

so i hurried up my business and called him, so you can say i was "prepared", haha

He should of jumped on his Rear Bumper to see if he could fix it... please show us some before and after pictures of your buffing... I'd like to see how this pans out. I've seen some remarkable buffs that took away scuffs I was sure needed to be painted. GoodLuck hope your boy takes care of you.

You should go out and by some of those BRIGHT ORANGE CONES and place them around your car when you park. Then send out an email blast to all your co-workers and tell them to park away from your ride!!!

Glad to hear that your car is okay

Sorry to hear about the mishap. At least he was good enough to own up to it. Sounds like things will work out though. It will just take some time and work.
