vette got hit
the vette got hit yesterday while it was parked.. I was not there when it happened, luckily the person that did it, left her insurance information, and had already filed a claim... still sucks but it could have been worse..
the front quarter pannel is cracked, and the driver side door wont open...its heading to the shop on monday..
good thing I wasted the time to clay and wax the car a week ago
oh yea and we are in the middle of some inclement weather here hence the snow...

Bummer! 
This happened to me last spring! Almost the exact same thing. Check it out:

Unfortunately, if the door won't open, it won't be any easy repair, you probably need a new wheel house, which is a big job and a new door.
My car is all better now, yours will be too!
Good luck with the repairs!

My car got hit once while I was working. Walked out to my car, and I saw my front bumper smashed. There was note even a Fu(k you not on my car. Your car will be as good as new.

Sorry to hear about that, but its a easy fix. Looks like just the fender. If nothing below is damaged than a quick fender change and your in business.
Check with Colton at Corvette Recycling (forumn vender) he may have an exact color match fender for your car and its an easy swap. If the body shop does it than you may have a color match question after all is said and done.
Good luck with your fix.

That's too bad your car got hit At least the woman had the class to leave her info. (even if she can't drive) That is rare. Looks like the damage is confined to the fender and should be an easy fix. Good luck with the repair.
