    my poor front bumper. big suv got it on one side + a bit of fender and I hit a building on the other(geezer problem). I hired a traveling dent repair shop that car dealers use. for $450 the bumper, fender and lower guard look as if nothing ever happened. amazing!

    + the rh fender. I do not have a after shot but the end result is a new bumper appearance. fender is the same. as if nothing ever happened. they did a Bora bumper that had a gouge torn out with the same result. The Bora has those ugly black rubber looking things that r big enough to upset the handling

    call the car lots and dealers to find the type of business I used. the were less than 1/2 cost of the cheapest body shop quote. they came to my office and did the job on the spot. took about 5 hours. may b a franchise. Color Dynamics. another was Chip Dr. but they were double the cost

    seriously ?

    If this is how you're luck is at present I'd suggest staying away from cars for a while !

    Thats's what I was thinking. If Mitchell didn't have bad luck he'd have no luck at all!

    YGTBSM! :(

    You Got To Be ****ting Me!

    That is a real bummer. Self inflicted or done by someone else with insurance?

    Many years ago when I was living in Brooklyn, my BMW Bavaria got rear ended by a bunch of Rastafarians in a ****box car with South Carolina plates and likely no real insurance. They tried to make amends by offering me a bag of ganja but I refused.

    Fortunately for me, I was rear ended a week later by a doctor from Scarsdale in a new Cadillac while on the way up to Connecticut and his insurance was gold plated. I didn't have to worry about the Rastas.

    Best of luck with your latest "Owie"!

    I can beat your story but unlike you the first incident was my fault.

    Picture the scene - crowded BMW showroom, me parked outside in the car park in my brand new 300 mile old 7 Series with the back facing the showroom door.

    While reversing out (left hand down) some kids ran behind the car so I braked hard and decided to back out using Right hand down instead. What I failed to see was the new Mini the kids had just got out of which I promptly reversed into and wrote off. Massive noise, everyone in the showroom turns round and then run outside to see who the idiot was - Me unfortunately !

    Car gets fixed, basically just needs a new rear bumper as a really solid car so back on the road pretty quick. Three days after a lovely lady rear ends me and writes the bumper off - again !

    Wasn't very happy I can tell you.

    just remembered that one of your cars also got keyed making that three bad things that have happened.

    As we all know, bad things come in threes so you'll be fine now - trust me !!!

    call me consistent. call me a really bad, careless driver. both fit. having trouble with that long hood and mostly bad judgement. bumper in the body shop. off car this time as I really did a number. broke it in two! took three cars out of the business today. all with minor scrapes. a Merak SS a Bora and the 400ai. that leaves a 67 Fiat dino. one more Merak SS. and 4.9 Indy and two 400ai convertibles. I am running out of storage! selling a 60,000 sq. ft. on Sept. 24th. that puts a serious crimp on my space. have 4 Indy's. three QP!'s and 8 others. just dread building a garage. so it is sell. seems to b the only option

    Sorry Mitchell - call me thick but I'm a bit confused.

    If I'm right you're selling a storage unit which leaves you nowhere to store some of your cars and you cant face building a new garage so you intend to sell them ?

    If I'm wrong (which is not unusual) please explain.
