    You hope it never happens, then BAMM!!!!

    SO I WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO WORK TODAY!!!!!!!!!

    So I work for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and we have been super busy from hurricane Sandy to the point where our parking lot is filled there for we have about 25+ cars parked on the street at any given time. I parked my car behind a Dodge Ram which I knew was a rental and there was plenty of room in front and back for the truck to pull out in case we needed to move it out later.

    So Im sitting in my baby eating breakfast and talking to my girl while enjoying my heated seats, premium Harmon Kardon sound system while I watched the outside temperature drop on my on-board computer (. Then I see my coworker hop in the ram and I see the back-up light come on, I said one "OH S**T" then BAM!!!!! He didn't even know he hit me until I hopped out the car screaming.

    So Its only about $200 worth of parts, but we agreed to $300 cash. another hood is only gonna cost me $40 from a friend, I have several center grills laying around and I'm gonna get euro grills and pocket the rest of the money. It just sucks to see her all banged up :(

      Just make sure it didn't do damage to the radiator support.

        Not gonna lie that doesn't look bad at all lol
        I get it though, and hopefully it didn't tweak anything front end wise.
        Looks like his trailer hitch hit your hood?

            You should spend the rest of the money on real headlights and bumper trim to match your headlight wipers ;)

              I have never seen an E30 with wipers on sealed beams. It's a trip. Anyway, you are lucky it wasn't worse. At least only the center grill is broken and there's no core support damage.

                          Not so bad.

                          Btw what are you going to do with the hood? I could use a spare.

                            So your car already had the wrong color hood, you found another hood for $40 and you have free grilles.

                            Why are you complaining about pocketing $260 again?
