Default Ouch!

Oh man that sucks! I had a similar experience last summer. I was pulling into the auto parts store to look for, of all things...touch up paint, when a guy in a truck started pulling into the space next to the one I was pulling into. I thought thta he was going to clip me so I pulled in a little faster than I should have and ran the front bumper into the concrete parking baricade. This is the result.





I feel your pain brother. Good luck with the repairs. I ended up having to replace the whole front bumper.

That sucks! Sometimes cars/trucks turn into a parking spot next to me, literally nanometers away from my Vette. Gives me a jolt every time! I mean, these drivers don't even realize how close they came to scraping my ride...That's why I usually park far far away from others...
