Default SUV backs into my Vette

I took the 60 out and left the C6 parked in the street.
I figured leaving it across from my own driveway was safe.






When you see the damage to the Equinox, you wonder how the C6 did?






We thought The SUV may have been hit before this happened, but measurements confirm the contact. The Vette should be ok with some buffing and polish. The WIFE'S car not! Since it was the C6 and not the 60, I guess I'll keep her since I'm the idiot that left it in the street.

Change to TaylorMade's and get rid of the NCRS straw hat then you won't have a problem.

Sorry to hear of the accident though, too bad you don't have the rear collision warning feature for the Equinox.

Bag is Callaway, clubs are Taylormade RAC irons and Taylormade woods. The only thing I have that is NCRS is a real old number.

I jumped into the wife's Durango one dark night backed out of the garage straight into my daughter's all black PT-Cruiser WITH the whole family in the car including the daughter.

Not my finest hour. Only about $300 damage though. Get it fixed and get passed it is the best thing....
If the incident didn't keep coming up in conversations about family lore it would be much better though...
