The first pic, i am sure he's thinking, that will be a pricey fix haah, at least your car isn't black, then it would be really noticeable.

Not saying at all that it's just a car, mang, but wanting to kill him? It's okay to get frustrated, but everyone makes mistakes once in a while. I got tagged by a girl that was stopped and didn't bother to see the big white car coming up to make the LH turn (legally) and just turned the wheel and gunned it. She then proceeded to ask me once we were out of the vehicles for a phone because she locked her keys in the car. I told her to wait for the police and they would open it for her. No sooner did I get the car back, but 4 months later I was rear ended. Both girls made mistakes, and since it wasn't malicious, I couldn't get to that level.

As much of a PITA it was, you're alive and kicking and no one got hurt. Once your ride is fixed and purdy, the force will be back in line.

Try to have a good day in spite of what got thrown at you!

Doggon Philly,, ther you go just pushing Neons outta our way on your way to work first thing in the morning. I know how you Philadelphians drive up there, I have mustered that traffic in an 18 wheeler. Let me guess, he tried to bo-guard his way into traffic off while you were already in the lane. Know for a fact that alot of peeps in your area haven't discovered the meaning of YIELD. Sorry to hear of the incident. Doesn't look like alot of damage and you will back in shape in no time. Get this taken care of and I will see you in Carlisle.

I fell your pain son!

My car hit with less than 30 days of owning it when i was out of town. Trust me mine was cruched in over the driver side wheel, i had to pull it out so the tire could clear the sheet metal. I was soooooo pissed that i did not want to post nor think about until I got it back from the shop.

Keep your head up, like some said it could be worse.
