The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXVIII

JARblue · 03-23-2018, 09:10 AM

Some lady changed lanes into me on the way to work. Hit my rear passenger fender with her front driver fender. We were slowing down approaching a stop light. Pay attention much?

Worst part is it was in the Z

Her white Rav4 has a very noticeable mark on it. The marks on my fender are very light scuffs. I'm having trouble just documenting them with video or photo. I'll have to clean it up and see how bad it really is when I get back home. Probably won't bother filing with her insurance. Unless I get a high estimate.

Thanks brother. Could have been worse. I feel lucky all things considered. Any serious damage would total the damn thing.

Glad the damage was minimal. A little polish and see what happens.

Another local forum member and I were already looking at blocking out a detailing weekend and polishing both our Z's. Definitely in the cards.

I'll probably get an estimate first. And ask them about the best approach to fix it myself. I will probably start with hand polish since I have that already. Then I can touch it up more if necessary with the orbital when we polish the whole car.

Lol I bet it's <$150 estimate.

I feel like the break was that it wasn't more serious damage. I'm a glass half full kinda guy.

I wish I could spend money on the Z but I have no money right now. Just gave my attorney a $3K retainer. I should be able to recoup some of that from my wife since he's going to be preparing paperwork for both of us. But definitely cash poor right now.

Wife calls the Z my mistress/GF. When she does that. I never tell her what I'm thinking. The Z never has a headache and never complaints. Just wants more.
