Default venting after my camaro was hit tonight

soo i just felt i would vent to some people who actually understand how pissed and why i was soo pissed off about my car getting hit. sooo i was leaving the buffalo wild wings after meeting up with some friends and pulling out of the lot i get clipped on my rear drivers side corner by a guy in a company f-150 soo im furious the second i get hit since my car was spotless not a single dent on my car... at this point im furious luckily we exchanged insurance no problem and the guy apollogized multiple times and i eventually calmed down... ill post pictures in the morning when its light out and i can take a clear picture of it

I'm sorry dewd, that blows. The rage will subside but the bitterness will never leave. Oh and make absolutely 100% sure you go to a shop that ALSO does custom paint and not a production/ insurance only shop! I learned my lesson on production shops, they don't give a rats *** about the final outcome OR prep work.

That's not too bad, did the gap at the door change at all, door still shut right? If so then it's probably not too bad, that looks like maybe a bumper cover, and the dent in the 1/4 has to be pulled out, little work there to get that fixed, but if it didn't even touch/break the tail light, you're probably not too bad off.

Just find a body shop that's GOOD with blending paint and bodywork, and it will be o.k.

The thing that sucks is the dent it right at the edge of the pannel. It takes a really good body man to get that perfect around the edge of the pannel at the tail light.

That is the only thing that is really noticable with mine after I had my quarters repaired last year. The gap around the 1 tail light is bigger than the other and looks off.

Go to winner ford, they'll hook you up. They did my brothers TA last year when some lady ran into us at a red light. Probably one of the only places i'd bring it to around here.

Proof ****** don't grow up. I'm 19 years old and I am happy with how good of a repair I did to my car ON MY OWN. Go cry somewhere else if you are going to complain about a little ding and skuff, f@g.

Edit: Oh, and it is spelled "congratulations", with a T...
