Ha ha, nothing major. :D I was going the wrong way around the upper level of the parking lot, and this kid that works there in a lifted truck with big ass tires was coming up around the corner going way too fast, and right when we saw each other, we both locked them up, but we hit at about 5 mph. Luckily, the only thing that hit me was his tire, and it hit my bumper, which is tucked. It knocked the bumper way out to one side, but I just had to push the other side back in, no problem. Only damage that was done was his tire hit my driver's side low beam, and it knocked it back behind the grille, and broke the plastic housing in half. We were both at fault, so he's just giving me the cash to get a new ellipsoid housing, and we're going to leave it at that. We were actually both laughing about it the whole time.

Well, maybe I worded that wrong. Since they're tucked anyway, it just pushed it in way more on one side than the other. I just had to push the other side back in to make it even again.Originally posted by Ben Carufel
Doesn't even really matter, since I have another set waiting to go to the powdercoaters soon.Comment

I wish i could say the same Josh, I went to my car this afternoon to find a substantial dent that runs the entire length of the passenger side.
I know "this thread is worthless without pic's", but its dark out and the car is black so i'll take some tomorrow. Noone left any contact information (of course). But the door, front fender and rear quarter panel all got pushed in a good amount.
I dunno, any thoughts, suggestions? I'll post some pic's tomorrow...

Look for shit on the ground, get a police report.
Where did it happen? If its in your complex get your gun and go looking for cars with black paint and dents in the corners.Im now E30less.

Kinda curious why the guy in the truck should have to pay to fix your car when you were the one going the wrong way?Comment

It's not really enforced which direction you go. There's plenty of room, and people go back and forth on it all day. He was also doing at least 25 when he came around the corner, the guy that was with me will say the same thing.Originally posted by Digitalwave
And I never said he "should" pay for anything. Besides, what difference does it make? The guy admitted that he was going too fast, and offered to pay for the part. I told him he didn't have to, but he insisted. It's not like he's forking over $300 for a new set of smoked ellips or something.Last edited by Jand3rson; 02-28-2006, 10:05 PM.Comment

Ruh roh. Everybody else is doin it. That makes it ok. Just because other people go 10 over the speed limit, its ok if I do it, Then whine and ask how to get out of the ticket even though I was doing something wrong.
