Combine them
sue her while forcing her to take the remedial driving class, then race her (using both Vettes) while you smile
at how badly she beats you...now there's a solution that checks all the boxes!

WHY, he owes for the damage to the recycle bin! J/K
Then hate to be a dick but don't try to buff it out leave it alone. It is not buffing out
sanding will leave it or buffing will leave it needing paint work.

I am leaving it alone! Other than a little extra wind resistance it handled fine on a 100 mile drive through the NC and Virginia mountains today. Weather was perfect and traffic light on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great way too get over my catAstraphic event.

While backing up my mother-in-law's driveway I clipped her recycle bin with my passenger side rear quarter panel. In the first picture below you can see the SEVERE DAMAGE that occurred as a result of the sudden impact! (well maybe not). I KNOW you can see the extent of the damage in the second picture below and be able to see why I am so distraught!. OK, MAYBE you can see the damage in the third picture taken with bright light and magnification of the carnage!
This leave me with a huge conundrum. Do I?
1. Sue my elderly 97 year old mother-in-law for reduced value? Surely she should have know I would be backing up in the vicinity she placed her recycle bin, thus bearing the responsibility for this accident.
2. Immediateley enroll in a remedial driving course.
3. Put the otherwise pristine 2014 coupe (only 7450 fair weather miles) in the body shop for a Full Restoration.
4. Just drive it!. It still puts a big grin on my face every time I pull out of the driveway!

You’ll probably need therapy for years after that incident.
