Yep ... took off a little early to get ready for test and tune. Was a block from my house ... pulled up behind some woman in a import SUV ... She decides to throw it into reverse and back right into the nose of my Capri ...
Relatively minor damage, moved the hood around and a few spider cracks in the front edge, broke my grill, and a few marks on the bumper cover.
I got the hood moved back around and will be at TnT tonight.
Not very happy, but got away lucky
Damn, sorry to hear. See you there Bob.

all jokes aside though, sorry to hear. my rear quarter panel was backed into in may and it was just a pain in the ass going through everything to get it fixed. it was backed into by someone just not paying attention. too many people driving like that. hope ya get it fixed soon
That sucks, Bob, but glad to hear you'll be able to get to TnT tonight.

They sent my Census form back! AGAIN!!! In response to the question: "Do you have any dependents?" I replied - "12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads; 42 million unemployable people, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; Half of Mexico; and 535 more in the U.S. House and Senate. Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.
She must not have heard you.....
You needed more rpm. ;)
(all jokes aside, sorry to hear that Bob...sucks big time)

No point getting too upset about it in the end, it is mostly bolt on and the bumer cover is a small spot that can be fixed ...
She pulled up to the light, and I was behind her ... She then decided she like the parking spot along the street and was going to back into it through me apparently. I had the police come and file a report, will have to follow up with insurance.
