Default what a way to start off my day!

dang mang i went to breakfast this morning with a friend n than went walking around the block n came out to my car to find that someone had backed up into my car. Damage isn't that bad except for a lil dent below the left rear light right above the chrome strip and paint chip n scuffs on my bumper. Took it to the local dealerships body shop n got a estimate n parts are gonna be ordered on tues n they said i should have the car back by the end of the week so i gotta bring it back on tues. what a way to start off my day! i'm so pissed.

I'll tell ya.. Nobody cares anymore... people think it's okay to back into other cars because the insurance will cover it. BASTARDS!

Hope everything goes well..

Sorry to see this happen to you. It happened to me also and I was so pissed when I came out to my car, There were big deep scratches in it. I am always amazed at how people just dont care. Hope it turns out well for you and doesnt cost too much

hey thanks gs300rich yea it sucked that it happened. I was bruise free till this morning. just last week i had a door ding taken out n i just freshly waxed it yesterday afternoon n bam this morning my ride got another scar. well took it to my dealerships bodyshop n its gonna cost me over 800 bucks. ouch. 432 bucks for parts, and the rest is body labor,paint labor n paint supplies n tax. when they gave me that estimate i said god damn n they were like well a cheaper alternative would be to resurface n repaint but u do have that dent in the top part n it is slightly cracked so if i were u i would probably just replace the parts. oh wells there goes the money i was gonna use on ordering jp rear lights. well time to put in some major hours at work again hahahahahahaha.

So they are replacing your bumper? They must have backed into you pretty hard. Sorry about the JP lights but I am sure you will get them soon enough

Hit and Run....sometimes i wonder, if they can do it to your car, how come you can't do it to THEM? If i ever see the bastard that made me pay $1600 for a new door on my SC, I'll hit and run on his face with a billy club.

Matt, glad to hear you have your ride back.

You don't have it back for 24 hours and your already purchasing new mods. Way to be.
