Default Oh....the pain....

I was backed into today by some lady on the damn cell phone! I just got my car out of the body shop a few months ago and now it's being re-admitted....I wasn't even mad, hell it wouldn't be right to blow up on her even though it's her fault...BUT

What did I do to deserve this? I mean, I'm probably the nicest dude around and this kinda of shat happens to me...I left work early to start a 2 week vacaton to rehabilitate my foot(torn ligament) and this happens on the way home!!! When it rains, it POURS I tell ya!





oh well, I guess it could have been worse...My damn Saints better win tonight...

Damn, that sucks. I hope her insurance pays for it. This is one reason I park my car away from most of the other cars in a parking lot. The advantages to this are you get some good exercise walking from parking so far away and also lessens the chances of door dings and things like you unfortunately experienced.

Some people just can't operate a vehicle and talk on a cell phone at the same time. I, on the other hand, have no problems operating a car while talking on a cell phone when it's necessary, etc. I don't do it often, though. I was almost hit and sideswiped by a woman in an SUV talking on her cell phone a few months ago (not in my SC, though; in my old Civic). Bad drivers annoy the hell out of me sometimes.

That's going to be an expensive fix. At least it wasn't a hit and run.

Yeah man, what a pain in the butt so far...at least she admitted it. Her car only had a few scrapes and scratches...a new puke green Mustang. I'm going to drop it off at to the bodyshop soon....It just sucks because my ride will be down again...Oh well, I'll let them work on it while I'm in Vegas

Sorry if this is too much to ask but what was the estimate?

I have a similiar dent but the local body shops estimates seem to be really high. Some people should not allowed to use their cell phone but I don't like the some of the new laws banning use in the car

Man sorry to hear man, damn people don't pay attention on their cells. I remember reading the thread where it showed the progress of your car. Fortunately it doesn't look too bad, so your car can comeback as good as ever.
