Oh, no! So sorry to see that. Make sure the shop does the job right and you're 100% satisfied... that could be a tricky repair if the hinges got knocked out of whack.

What's up with people backing into corvettes??? Happened to me many years ago in my 69 vert - Donnybrook Green.....the old lady that did it said she only saw the lawn...and had the nerve to be mad at ME! Then another stupid bimbo of a certain hair color backed into my 76 coupe at a gas station!!! While I was yelling at her to PLEASE STOP!!!! Anyhow, I know your pain....

C5G: I'm sure you're hurtin' but it looks like cosmetic damage only to me. Your body shop should be able to bring it back to new. Hang in there!

had an women run in to the back on me a year or so ago...she was driving a RANGE ROVER and worried that she had more damage than I did. I only had the car a MONTH! It made me sick.

Good luck and make sure they make the repair to YOUR standard not the shops!!!
