OUCH! Dented my E-Type!

I was backing out my E-Type to clean out the garage / take some pics, and while trying to be "careful", I got careless and hit the side of my garage. The bonnet over the front passenger tire was dented pretty good. I'm really disappointed, although I know it can be fixed. I have a great mechanic in Terry Lippincott, just hoping I get some coverage insurance-wise.

Just waiting to hear back from Terry, and I'll call the insurance company tomorrow. Here are a few pics of the damage:

Sorry to hear about your E-type, rdefabri. Everyone here can empathize. There's nothing worse than putting a dent in your car by accident. You kick yourself for days (if not weeks/months!) over those.

To quote Animal House: "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."

 

Ouch. Painful to see.

You'll feel much better after it gets fixed.

Reminds me of this famous quote:
"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards."

Most of us have done worse damage to cars.

One of my favorite movies!!! And I am!!

 

Yep, I'll get that moving quick - it's painful to look at!!! Thankfully, it was the E-Type as I posted in a different thread...much easier (and cheaper) to repair than my F-Car!

 

Good man!


Just remember, you're in the best of company. Every good car guy has at least one of these stories.

And if that doesn't help, be glad you're not this kid. His first car scratch was a doozy.

That sucks, but its a straight forward fix for any good body guy not to say it will be cheap. I think my Hagerty covers stuff like this in my policy.

 

Just spoke to Hagerty - they said it should be covered, but I won't file a claim until I speak with Terry. Good to know that it could be covered, I just have the deductible.

Still kicking myself, but the Hagerty rep said they get calls like this all the time!!!

 

Just glad you didn't back the new F-car into the E.

I always park my car to the far right of center in my garage to stay away from 4 post lift on the left. Makes backing out a little tricky but I always remember. Well, my daughter back from college did not look and my car is now sans right side mirror.

 

Me TOO!!!
