:::Sigh::: Here we go again...
I have the worse luck with this car, this will be the third time in less than two years that my car will be in the body shop, but this time the other person is not paying for the damges. Saturday night I let Ana drive us home cause I was pretty drunk and she didn't want me to drive, but getting out of the parking spot she slammed my car into an SUV. Took out my tail light and f-ed up my bumper. I'll post pics tonight. I'm dropping off my car at the body shop tomorrow morning. I was looking forward to taking my car to the shop to put my side mirror blinkers and to install my lowering springs, instead the money is going to repairs...UGH!
I just wanted to post this since I knew you guys would feel my pain.

Note to self: Don't let my girl drive my car.
Seriously, sorry to hear that. Really sucks when you're trying to mod, and you end up taking a step in opposite direction

That stinks! I hope your insurance is at least covering the repairs. Although, last time I filed a claim to have my insurace cover a repair, I realized that the insurance company doesn't pay for the repair, they just loan you the money because, when you get your next bill, they raise their rates to cover the repair cost (and then some).

Thanks for the comments guys. We are fine. No one was hurt. Just a busted tail light, but still a pain and an extra expense. We are so careful with our money and something like this will put my mods in the back burner for a while. I'm getting a used tail light off ebay and my bumper will have to be sanded and painted again. She should be good as new by the BBQ, but I as hoping to have the side mirrors and lowering springs taken cared of next week while I'm away. I'm not going to file a claim on my insurance. They'll give me too much money for the repairs and I'll wind up paying that back anyway. Honestly, this car has the worst luck. I'm tempted to get rid of her and get something else.

lol, I wish. I have a wedding and a house to pay for. I'm just feeling down about how many people have damaged my car when I was so proud of myself for being able to buy a Lexus to begin with. Maybe when I turn 30 I'll buy a real toy car. I am learning that the ES is a ****** to find parts for, it might be a good thing though, saves me money cause I can't buy anything for her...haha.

Ouch, yeah I never let people drive my car.
If I'm drunk at a party/club, I just leave my car in the parking garage until the next morning.
I don't mind paying a cab to get me home safe and keep my car scratch/dent free.
In a way it's sort of like additional car insurance.. hehe
Soo sorry to hear that your baby got scratched.
Glad everyone is ok.
Where's teh pics of the damage?
Speaking of pics...
ahem ahem...
In case you didn't know...
<---- I'm a full time professional wedding photographer!
Can we say NELOC discount?! hehe
I'll PM a link to my site.

im glad to hear that you guys are ok, i wish i can say the same for our garage door lol. I let my mother in-law borrow my car yesterday, and when she paked it she left it in first gear. I go to remote start the car and the car jumps forward and takes the bottom part out of the garage door. The car is fine thank goodness, never doing that again.
