Its hard, didn't think it would be.

I was rear ended by a Chevy Tahoe in March leaving a parking lot. I couldn't believe it.

"You car is too low, I could not tell if you were going or not", the guy said.

"SO YA HIT ME TO MAKE SURE?!!?", I quietly yelled. :/

Whatever, again like many times I put on my sunglasses and look at the brighter side. Needed a respray back there anyways.

Well, the S is sitting at DTM autobody for over a week now un-touched waiting to be seen by a AAA adjuster(he keeps flaking)

Bumper and trunk need to be replaced with some rear panel work.

Now I'm driving a big truck, which I hate....Sucking up gas like no other, boring to drive *YAWN*, can't take turns ....I need my V-Tec fix!

Didn't want to go through the hassle of a getting a rental but they're taking forever, so I will now take advantage. Gas shouldn't be a bad either.

First things to do when I get the S back.

Ultra wash and wax, I have dreams about this.

PCH run with the hardtop off. XD

Okay enough rant for one night. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to hear me out.

And please add any similar stories if you have em.

That sucks.
Lol about the "WTF is a paragraph?"
You shouldn't wax for 6 months after getting new paint.

Low or not, that's no justification. There are plenty of other cues to determine distance even if the driver's depth perception is shot. If the driver can't tell distance in such cases then the license needs to be revoked.

Beat me to it. It's bad for your paint in the long run OP.

tell the shop to charge storage, even if you get nothing out of it now, you'll get a favor or better service in the future. they're entitled to it, and since the other party is footing the bill, you're all good!

i think you can get 25 bucks a day till your car is fixed for rental. I did that and didn't rent a car and just took a check.
