Wow! A truly close call... Glad no one was hurt and it sounds like you've buffed out most of the damage.

Glad to hear your car isn't damaged too bad. Sounds like a very close call. The great thing about being 57-years old is that I'm usually in bed by 9:30 p.m. and so are most of my friends, so we don't have to worry about those 3 a.m. mishaps.

That would make me very unhappy because of the disregard he had for your safety and it not being a big deal that he damaged your car.
