Yep. Got nailed in the parking lot in all the wrong ways yesterday.







If you look really closely you can see the dent caused by a Trailblazer... I know it's subtle, you may have to strain your eyes.

Anyway, Thursday I'm getting an estimate on the damage and hopefully I'll be able to drop her off Thursday or Friday to start getting fixed.

Damn, too bad it wasn't the rear bumper, would've been a nice time to upgrade it.

Nah the bumper is screwed up too. The force of the hit made it wavy and the paint is cracking. I have a CS rear that's been waiting to get painted, so I'm going to have that put on.

Sorry to hear, Tanner... Did you at least get the persons insurance information or did they take off?

Sucks Tanner but like a few have said - time to upgrade and being you have a new CS bumper waiting I guess this is a blessing in disguise.

I'd say they left the scene but hopefully I'm wrong

That sucks, Tanner!
Was this before or after the rim was scuffed?
The rear fender will definitely need to be replaced.
It looks similar to when my rear fender was hit. I parked in my buddy's yard, AWAY from all of the other cars and an intoxicated lady backed into it while leaving the drive way.
On a more positive note, at least you will be getting your CS bumper painted and installed soon. =)

Thanks, guys. I was sick about it the first day, but now I'm just trying to think about that new bumper. Haha.

Eddie, I got their info and there was a police report filed by the campus police with pictures.

It sucks, though because the cops didn't want to determine fault since we were both backing out, but it was clearly her fault. Hopefully insurance will see it that way too.

Kevin, haha I scuffed the wheel yesterday in the same parking lot. That's why I was so pissed. I've had the car for 4 yrs with little to no cosmetic damage and then two things in two days.
