Unhappy Car got backed into.

Well my flawless car got freakin backed into yesterday!! My car didn't even have a dent or a scratch on it. My whole left fender going to have to be repalced. Luckly the guy that did it waited till I got back to my car to let me know what happened. Even though he said anything that has to be done he will pay for, it's still depressing that it even happened. I hope that when the fender gets painted that it will look the same as the rest of the car. Reason so is my car is 5 yrs old and I bet the paint is a little faded. I just thought that I would share what I was going through.

Damn that sucks to hear they will probably have to blend the paint but a good body shop should do a great job.

Well take a guess at where this happend..................At the shop when the cam was going in that day. Some customer backed his car trailer right into it. So the cam didn't go in b/c of this whole ordeal. So I'm shooting for the cam to go in after my car gets back from the paint shop this week. But for sure I will let you know how everything goes.

Don't worry about the paint man. It's amazing how well they can blend and match these days. Sorry to hear about the accident though. I've been rear-ended in my car twice now. The first time it bought me a new cam, and this time it's getting me some drilled/slotted rotors.

Hmmm. Sounds like I need to get rear-ended soon. I could really use a set of breaks, or headers.

For real man. Just make sure it's one of those 5mph jobs. No real damage that some rubbing compound and some screws into the ground effects can't take care of. Get it apraised at a dealer, and they'll want over $600 buck gauranteed!

You are a lucky man that the guy waited.

My car has some mighty nice rear-end paint scratches on it because of an idiot driver than ran.
