Default Neighbor just hit my 92 SC300 Natural 5sp:(

Damage isnt too bad, Im taking it to get an estimate in a couple hours.

Pretty upsetting considering I was just telling my wife how the exterior not having any dents is the only positive for my car considering the interior is **** lol.

Took some quick pictures before walking into work this morning, they aren't very good.

Sorry to hear about that man, at least it wasn't a hit and run.. :/

I came out to my car from the post office yesterday and drove away and only noticed when I got to the gas station and walked around, I almost died. No cameras were angled to see..

Im just glad he came and owned up to what he did and didn't just drive off. Honestly i wouldn't have noticed that dent for a few days at least.

Ugh...You have to be a pretty bad driver to run into a 3+ thousand pound hunk of 5 thousand dollars. At least the damage isn't that bad.
