Have to say that you take things well . . . and with humor.

Left rear? I came close on right rear. Thankfully, my friend was standing on the sidewalk and said, HALT-AY! I haven't forgotten that one.

Ouch.

Mine can drive it but she is scared to do so. She just wants a ticket to ride and she don't car.

I am learning that Velocity Yellow seems to attract more damage than deter it. Mine is going to the bodyshop on Monday to get the bumper repainted from the lady backing into mine.

At least it is repairable and she wasn't hurt. Bet ya she will not be wanting to drive it again anytime soon.

Like someone else said, it's only a car and can be fixed. Give her a big hug and tell her you still love her.

Well, at least it was only a little paint and not the shiny part. A little touch up paint will hide that. If you had a shiny wheel instead of just a painted one, it would have had to be repolished, and that can be expensive.

Uh... for all you "touch up" guys. Uh... no.

It's already off to Forgeline for repair. That's the nice thing about a three-piece wheel. Only the outter rim needs to be fixed.

Powder coat baby. She'll look good when I get back from Disney... and the wife?... she'll have to live with a Camaro from now on once the Verts come out. She ain't driving my car no more.

Bummer, that's a bit of bad luck. My wife has curbed all my rims, Usually I get the response " well I park it so close to the curbs so it does not get the doors dented" . Note to self... "Get wider tires".
