Default its so sad... BANG!!!

Is there a record for having a car hit... I had it 55 hours.
I had it in a driveway and it was backed into. Still had the temp tags on it.

I don't have pics yet but it was not a good morning the day after xmas.

At least it is still driveable. $1000 in damage.

Sorry to hear about that.

$1,000 in damage doesn't sound that bad. What is it? Front bumper and hood? If so, they are easily replacable parts. Good luck.

Yeah where was it damaged front or rear? It might look like this sucks, but if you need to change the lights or sidemarkers, it would be the perfect time to get JDM front lights or clear/smoked side markers.

Front left fender was crushed. I felt very lucky. Sort of a bad situation seeing how it was my girlfriends father who did the damage. I felt as bad for him as he did for me. Oh well, I guess I have it broken in now. The body shop guy pulled the fender out so I could open the door again. I have been putting the top down and hopping over the door.

He missed the front left tire by about an inch. Whew!!!

I will get it fixed whenever the fender gets in. Until then I am dealing with all the people around town looking at my car and thinking, "wow, nice car, OH!! that hurts..."

I was thinking about changing the side markers and lights but I don't know the names of the actual lights that I like. If anyone can tell me a plce to go on the web to look at some of those I would appreciate it.

There is at least one S that was wiped out before it was sold.

Ouch! sorry to hear about that....At least you got it into your driveway. Last week I saw a brand new 2002 VW Cabrio pull out of the VW dealership and...BANG!....The ladys brand new car got hit. Front, curtain, and side airbags all deployed....It looked like she just took delivery ....Im not sure on the drivers condition. I hope she was OK.
