Watch out when you're behind a Van (or SUV, or big Pick-up, etc.)

"I looked in the mirror and didn't see you! Your car is so low. I saw the car behind you, and thought I had room to back up."

Not even 2 months old and I just got my first ding! Stopped at a stop sing, the van (full size) in front started to pull out to make a left turn. I moved up, as did the car behind me, when ... OH NO! THE BACK UP LIGHTS CAME ON! I can't back up. Hit the horn .... BEEEEEEEEEEEP ... crunch! OH F**K!

Any one know, can you replace the bumper cover? I'd hate to get a bondo job with a paint patch.

 

that sucks. glad that everyone is ok. afterall, cars can be fixed, people are more difficult.

Ouch...

what a stupid excuse as well... not a very safe driver.... SUE THEM! lol

 

your very lucky it didnt crack the front light housing

 

Thats the same response I got when a old lady driving a Tauras backed into me. Tried to back up, then honked..... Gonna cost about $300 to fix, as they have to repaint the whole bumper. A lot more if you gonna replace the front bumper...

 

Good luck with getting the paint. I had lots of problems......

 

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

I've been driving with my lights on in daylight more and more to increase the visibilty of my car; it's at least one step we can take.

 

Qphox, sorry to hear about this. Here's to a speedy recovery. /me raises Guinness. I'm beginning to see the benefits of loud music.
