Ouch!!! Sorry to hear and see that. Make sure you get the estimates written right and a discount where you work so at least some of your suffering is compensated.

if you can't squeeze by "ram it"

shanna and i saw a girl backing up in traffic while in sevierville, she nailed this civic behind her in the fender. It was funny as hell, she got out all pissed like it was his fault he didn't get out of her way.

On a positive note, glad nobody got hurt

At least it didnt totally mess the car up.

I saw a mag a couple days ago with a grille in it, looked pretty good.

yeah stupid drivers. I had a woman back up in to me at the drive thru before. I was sitting there behind her and she was in a big Expedition and she backs up ONTO my hood and puts a nice bump on it. She gets out and the first thing she says is "O i didn't see you behind me, I can't see anything in these mirrors" What a moron! Don't drive something you can drive safely in. Well she looked at the damage and thought it was a couple hundred hammer down the bump job. I took it to my friend and he came back with a 2k repair job for all factory parts. Took it to that lady. Glad to hear you're doing the same.

In all fairness, a lot of small car drivers really need to be aware to not drive in large vehicles' blind spots; I've had plenty of Civics and other tiny-ass cars follow me to the point where I can barely see the roof of the car in my rear view, and nothing at all in my side mirrors...just waiting for the day someone doesn't stop in time.

Not saying it was your fault - in the words of my driver's ed instructor, "Women should not drive anything they can't see over" :lol:

No plastic bumper cover and styrofoam insert is going to win against a steel bumper with a trailer hitch.

about the lady in the expedition...hence the reason those little backup sensors are now on them! which is actually a good invention.
