This is what happens when you run into a FedEx truck

Down in So Cal you should be able to find some original metal for that sweet ride.

It just needs an eye patch. Glad no one got hurt and that it wasn't worse.

We are just wondering if you were power braking or not?
I'm just aggravating you, I totaled a 68 once showing off, burning rubber, spun 180 and went over an embankment. Told my dad I just lost control. He went to take a look and stepped off 200 feet of black marks. He knew exactly what happened. I only told a half truth or half lie.
Seriously, I'm glad nobody got hurt. Hope you're back burning more rubber soon.

Back in my younger years I pulled out of a shop where we just dropped off my buddies truck for work. Being the show off that I was I got on it a little in my Mustang and the rear end immediately went side ways and we jumped over a ditch, barely squeezed through a sign and tree, turned the car and exited a small driveway and pulled into a parking lot down the street. The whole ditch and back on road experience all happened in under a minute. Once in the parking lot we saw that unfortunately a bar on the car tore into the radiator. So we had to walk back to the shop where they told us about barely missing the sign/tree and how we just immediately went back on the road and so on. The shop also informed me how that asphalt road gets tree sap all over it and becomes slicker than a wet asphalt road.

At the end of it all the car needed a new front bumper cover/support and radiator repaired. My dad was not too happy about that, I got to live that summer at home and when all my friends lived 40-50 miles away that was a much bigger punishment that it sounds like for a young individual.

That really sucks..Good luck on getting her back in shape with some new paint.

[Campindog]

That's messed up! I've always liked your car. At least you walked away and no one was hurt.

[Huskinhano]

Uh oh, better get Maaco. Seriously, sorry to hear about your car, that really sucks but at least it's minor damage. But it still sucks.

[beegshot]

But, I'm glad you're okay. Do you think the painter will take the doors off to paint them?

If so, be sure to take the car for a drive with the door off...for old times sake. It'd be sweet if you could put the lawn chair back in there, too.

oh my, ......this is going to cost you much more than 250......

Really sorry to hear about your car - but a good time for a repaint! Glad that you weren't hurt. Time for some improvements, right?

When I was a teenager, almost 30 years ago (yikes!), I was out cruising town in my white 65 coupe when I saw a girl that I knew in the parking lot of the local ice cream place doing something to her car, so I whipped in to the parking lot and parked right behind a large rock. When I say large it was probably three feet in diameter. Anyway, I hopped out of the car and found out she was just cleaning up the interior of her car. So we chit chatted for a while, and there may have even been a bit of flirting going as well.

When I went to leave I started the car and revved the motor a bit to show off before dropping it in first gear and taking off. The problem was that I had gotten so, uh, side tracked that I completely forgot about the huge rock that I had parked behind. Yep, ran smack into it and trashed the front valance. I'm sure she was impressed. :-/
