Serious question for those who have had body work done on these cars, did you find that the "Cadillac tax" applied here too? :think:

Not really a Cadillac tax, but it seems like anything paint related starts at about $500 by the time you are all said and done.

I feel for you brother. I've had the exact same thing happen with two prior vehicles.

I get out of my car and scream at people when I see them tying to leave carts in the middle of parking lots. I mean seriously? You're too too fat and lazy to walk 5-10 yards to put a cart away?! I've caused some scenes.

A couple years ago I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and saw a runaway cart going right for a 03-04 cobra.... I was in my lifted pickup truck with huge steel bumpers. I managed to succefully ram the cart off course and into some bushes. I felt a lil bad for smashing up the stores shopping cart but whatever.

best part is the owner of the cobra had no idea that awesome people were looking out for their ride.

nice work man!

I have also seen this happen but with an s-10 that popped out of gear.....

That story reminds me of a Liberty Mutual commercial.
