Got hit in the vette :( I'm driving into work in a good mood because the Vette's build sheet/window sticker came in today. I pull onto base following mid 90s caddy. He's about 20 feet infront of me. We both start slowing down as we come up to the gate and he decides that he missed his turn to leave base instead and slams his brakes and throws it into reverse. I jam the brakes drop it into reverse and before I can hit the gas the back of his car slams into my front passenger side 
There are scratches from the front license plate area all the way to the top of the passenger blinker, and there are a few small cracks under the paint. The passenger front blinker lens is also cracked. I'll take pics on lunch. It's not bad at all, but now I have to go through the whole ordeal of getting it fixed.
Furious is not even remotely in the same category as when I'm feeling right now

Sorry to hear that. At least it was not worse. More than likely have to get the whole front bumper cover painted. I'm with you on being pissed though. I would of went nuts for sure. Hope you get it fixed fast and that the guys insurance will pay for it.

I posted earlier but it got deleted. I dunno why maybe I violated some law. I'm your neighbor's boss, the guy with the worked black C6 that hasn't been on the raod in 5 months 
Anyway, the guy outside the main gate, straight across the road like you are going to the Turnpike is pretty good. He painted my Vette fender and I was very impressed with the work and I'm a picky bastard. He is on the left just before you get to the WaWa and the gas station light.

Damn bro, sorry to see that. You are better than me, that old man would of seen a Wheel Chair quicker..
Some old retiree here hit my Camaro right off base as I was in a building paying my Water Bill. He backed right into the front of my Z28. I walk out to see the ***-end of a Ford resting on the Brand New Nose of the Camaro. He was just standing there looking at me like I was wrong. I start checking for damage, fortunately there was none.
As I was doing that, he gets in his Truck and starts to leave, in a hurry too. I start yelling at him and he tried to pull that **** of how he was retired something.. I told him to go get my Shirt if he wanted to pull that ****, cause I didn't care about that. I called him a piece of **** and to watch his driving or he would have a reason to have that Wheel Chair on the License Plate..
Haven't heard anything since..
