OH man, I F'D up bigtime this morning when I pulled into my work parking lot..

I always back in and for some assinine reason I swung too far forward before backing up and crunch... there goes the bottom part of the facia paint, all crackled and peeled off all kinds of paint ... Unreal.. looks disgusting..

I will post up a few pics when I get home tonight..

I am beside myself and can barely hold back from punching a wall...if I could punch myself hard enough I would...

what a DUMB ASS!!!

I am going to have to get it fixed ASAP..not what the DR. ordered...

Lets hope its not as bad as it looks .....

Sorry barry, we all make mistakes like that at some point. I know the feeling. Hope the damage isn't too bad.

Thanks man..

just went back outside and took a little closer look.. looks just like its paint and nothing "broken"

I was thinking it might be a good time to get me a "bro" for the summer... but after looking closer something tells me its not going to cover up all the damaged paint...

OUCH!!! Sorry to see. Hopefully you can have inexpensive repaint done. Chin up, it could have been worse.

Uh Oh...better get maaco.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Saw the pics Barry, and that just sucks.
That's something I would do.

that sucks Barry. It could've been much worse though -- a little higher and the curb could have pulled the fascia off. Always try to look on the bright side.....

Give Chuck a call at American Classics Auto Restoration in Manchester. Tell him Jim C sent you. 603-669-4628

Thanks everyone

It sure could have been a lot worse, nothing broke...

PJ your a riot...
It actually made me laugh about it for the first time today,

Jim, I my just give him a call if I get a chance tomorrow..

Already got 2 estimates tonight. $400 and $425-ish, bumper needed to be repainted anyways..

Makes the car lighter and faster without that paint. Seriously though, that does suck, but it gives you an excuse to paint.

heyy i do believe scott had a small issue like this back in 2005.... a slow roll into a parking spot in a pizza shop in lowell i think?!?!?

Posted by: bullitt5177

Yep, that's true. Can't believe you remembered that, I almost forgot. Milan Pizza was the one at fault. Pretty much right after I got the car too.
