**** ******* backed into me tonight at the lakefront. I bomped at him as I was pulling into my space, he stops looks and then keeps backing up. Stupid mother ******. But that took an hour and 45minutes to do the paperwork and give the guy a ticket. Its not too bad. Just a crease in my passenger side front bumper. Just more of a **** inconvenience. At least he got the ticket. And I just put my **** lip on yesterday. Oh well im tired. Will post pics tomorrow.
Yeah Richard thank god its no where near what happened to yours. Its just a small dent but now I have to bring it to the body shop and all.
He said he looked back when I honked and didnt see anything and then just kept coming. He was trying to tell me that oh its prob going to be me in the wrong since he had the right away. I knew that would be a bunch of bs. Just trying to get me from calling the cops. But I will be posting pics a little later.
Thanks guys for the concerns. And yes Jaysen it will definately be fixed by the Houston meet.
Here are a couple pics I just took. The pics dont really show it that bad. Looks worse in person.
But this was at this place called the point where its at the end of this pier thing and there were like only 3 other cars there and was very quiet. Dude was just not paying attention at all.
Just went to the body shop and set up to bring it in next monday so I will have my Z for the weekend at least.
Dave that sucks totally man. I would have also flipped out on him, *kick shin, swing at head* Are they going to be able to pop it out or are they going to replace the panel? Glad it isn't too bad.....but any dust or bird poop on Lucy is bad to me....let us know the result. I am sure they will do a great job!!!
That sucks man! I had a similar thing happen to me, but a lot of paint scrapped off. I was pissed for a few months, but now I don't worry about my car as much anymore. Plus, I made a lot of money off of the lady's insurance

Thanks again guys for the response. I brought it in this morning and they said they will try to heat it up and see if it will mold back into shape but I doubt it. If it isnt 100% perfect they will be replacing the entire bumper which would be cool because I have a few chips on it that I would like to get rid of. I will be bringing it in on Monday to get fixed.
Praise for restraint. Sympathy for the bodywork. Had our car 1 day before somebody effing dinged the back bumper...unlike yr idiot, they didn't have the decency to fess up. We just attributed it to '1st blood'...
I wigged when my car came back from the dealer with water spots! If you're not gonna chamois it, don't get it wet!
It's why I don't drive around with ordnance in the car. I'd use it on one a deez nutz.
If I take Lucy to the dealer (or anywhere for work) I tell them SPECIFICALLY not to touch her paint! After they fixed the botched paint job they did on her after the first accident, they fixed the paint, then returned her back w/ swirl marks galore. Then we took her back to have them remove the swirls and she came back w/ 2 spots, one on spoiler and one on splash guard, where they burned the new paint off w/ the rotary.....
While we've been sheltering-in-place for weeks, I've found my '03 preorder track model Z to be a respite. Whether it's driving to the grocery store, or maybe across town to pickup dinner from one of our favorite restaurants, it remains a joy to drive. From the solid feel of the gearshift with...
Most people seem to want exhaust with loud screaming or ho gains
I’m trying to find a cheap version of stock or Nismo sounding stock. I don’t care about name brand. I don’t want Buick lasagne quiet but This Z has an nvidia I believe, in any case it is just a loud loud even with some sort of...
My 2005 GT roadster has needed a new top for a couple of years. It spends most of it's time in the garage and, I retired in 2018 so it hasn't prime on my "todo" list.
A couple of years back, the famous (or infamous) Zcar Garage mentioned "nearly $2,000" from their referral store for a first...
I'll start.
Planning on washing the car before driving her to a performance shop to take a look at some fabrication options for the exhaust.
Fixed a rattle yesterday on one of the exhaust hangers.
Top won't go down sometimes. I can hear the motor , the passenger window goes down then it stops.
I took it to a local garage they made it work once then it quit again.
called Nissan, they want $150.00 for estimate and they will not use aftermarket parts. I looked up parts at Nissan and it...
