Default A Good and a Bad Weekend!

The GOOD News:

Had my car in the Unlimited Fords Car Show over the weekend.

I took 2nd Place in my Class ::: 05/06 Modified Mustangs!


The BAD News:

Leaving the show I had to turn around in a church parking lot to go the direction I wanted on the main road (No Left Turn Park Exit!)... and doing so I smacked my lower bumper cover into a big rock that I didn't see on the curb and buggered it up pretty good.. probably a couple hundred dollars worth!

Congrats!
Too bad about the bumper. My paint guy said that I would be scratching mine up...it took 3 days to prove him right.

Typical "You win some you loose some" deal.

I hope the damage isn't un-repairable. But depending on what you typed you'll need a new lower bumper cover and chuck the damaged one.

Atleast it didn't happen before the judging. That sucks about the bumper. I know how it is to get those replaced. 900 bucks for my entire back bumper and a little on the metal to get fixed when my step father backed into my car because he's to lazy to pay attention to where the hell he's backing. Then he blamed it on me because I apparently parked to close to where he was backing up, but I always park there lol.

At least it was after the show! Sorry to hear about the scrape though.

Ah... I hate that!
3rd day after having my car, i took it to my dad's place to take some pictures and while attempting to go through there were a bunch of rocks piled up and hit them! [:@]

Congrats on your trophy, and i'm sorry about the car.
