I like the Garmin Dash Cam idea but I am not feeling particularly lucky. One less thing to tempt someone...even if base parking is my main concern.

I put her in the shop last Friday. My wife has a color scheme she liked so I went with it...

We shall see.

Sorry about the misfortune, but it looks/sounds like you have an opportunity to turn a negative into a positive! I like the Tiger shark idea as well as the color scheme idea!

Default Sorry about your car

Your car looks a lot like mind did after a dump truck ran a stop sign at Vandenberg AFB a few years back. I also had a rip across the center of the nose where a tool box hung off the frame contacted the car. Thankfully it was in a 35 MPH zone and right in front of were I worked, so had a short walk after the car was toted off to the shop. Very early in the morning, so no witnesses. Hope your shop does a great job!

Chuck

I had a guy back over my Z about 7 years ago. He was scared to tell me, because I'm kind of big, and anti-social, and he's the owner of a beauty salon. Really nice guy, with a beautiful wife.
