Monday!
So here it is Monday! I generally spend a lot of Vette time cleaning, driving and just spending quality time messing with the car! Then Monday comes and I many times try to extend the weekend by driving the Vette to the office! Today was no exception so I went to lunch at a deli. I come out after eating and see a Suburban out in the middle of the parking lot with this woman running around looking distraught! Yep as you can figure she had backed out of her space and right in to my Black Coupe! She doesn't just hit the rear facia, oh no, she keeps backing until she gets into my left rear quarter panel and crushes it up too! She was real sorry and I've talked to her insurance guy. I just hope I can find somebody who can match the paint! Happy Monday to me!

I'm so sorry to hear about your vette. Find a good bodyshop and it should be good as new. Good luck.

Ouch! I know that must have hurt. As said before, at least she didn't run from it.
Hope it gets fixed to your satisfaction!

Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear about that. Sometimes I think I'm paranoid but alot of times if I pull into a spot, I look to see who could potentially come out of somewhere else and fudge my stuff up.
Perhaps I'm not so paranoid afterall... Good luck with the repair.

Get a short rope and a tall tree, remove the moron from the gene pool! 
I hate dummies who back up and not look where they're going. Just no excuse! Hope your repairs go well. Maybe you can upgrade to a Tigershark rear facia and make lemonaide outa this lemon.

Not a good way to start off the week. Sorry about the damage and hope the shop can get the car looking like new again.

"Monday, Monday ... Just hate that day." 
Good luck with the repairs. Don't let her insurance company try to BS you. They will try to direct you to one of their "approved" body shops, which may be okay. Just make sure your comfortable with the chosen shop before you agree to having them do the repairs. Good luck.
