got hit in a parking lot

I got fender-bendered when I wasn't in the car. Somebody must have scraped my fender backing out as the plastic/rubber mud flap behind the passenger rear tire was pulled out about 2" and my quarter panel is cracked right behind the rear wheel.

I shoved the mud flap back in, but it looks like the quarter panel or the flap is bent as there is a weird gap there.

Thats a wonderful way to wake up.

Re: got hit in a parking lot

Sorry to hear. Some people suck, don't they.

At least it's black. Should be pretty easy to match. Have the paint shop throw in some extra orange peel to match the stock paint.

I was actually wondering if they would be able to match that...

Should be an easy fix for a good body man.

Re: got hit in a parking lot

Easy to fix, and you'll be back on the road.
Not sure where you park, but I go for corners on the ends with the least traffic.

Its amazing how people will forget to be in drive/reverse and go the wrong way!

Re: got hit in a parking lot

End and corner spaces are great, though you have the danger of curbs, and with low front fender clearance, no line-of-sight, and the threat of curb rash, sometimes you solve one problem only to create another. I've been there and it is frustrating!!!

Re: got hit in a parking lot

The nose of my car actually clears most of the curbs around here. Which is awesome.

Alas, just when I recovered from this pain I hit either a very small deer or a very large dog on the highway last night and pretty much fubar'd the front bumper. Headlights, hood, and fenders seem OK, but the bumper is all krinkled up.

This just sucks.

Damn! That's double suckage!

I have to ask, are you living right?

I'm adding this to my thread about things that suck.
