dammnn someone decided to back up into my Z
Well I was at my sons track meet today and I went out to get some camping chairs that I had when I noticed a big azz hole on the front of my Baby.
Seemed ugly but it just looks like bumper only damage. Let me know what you guys think. I am thinking of tottaling everything that I need to fix it on my own or just my insurance handle it.

You sir have some good luck, from the pics above seems like they missed the headlight and the hood (barely). Wont cost an arm and a leg for sure, pickup a used bumper and go to a good shop for paint. shouldn't be more then 600 bucks for everything if you want to DIY. However personally I would go through insurance and get everything brand new the cost as you can imagine will also be higher but hey insurance is covering it!

The good news is that I had a lot of chips on the bumper and some on the hood. I might be able to get it painted to. I was also thinking about an amuse kit but I'm sure the I insurance will not say the damage is worth 2k.

If you do it yourself, you might take the opportunity to buy an aftermarket front bumper that does not have those stupid catfish fangs It'd really improve the image of your car.
Sucks that it happened, but you are soooo lucky that it did not bend the hood or damage the headlights in any way. Did the dumbass that did this leave a note? Or was it more likely some foolish kid your son's age? |

Where exactly do you park when driving your car?

I don't get it. Is either park or drive, but parking when driving sounds a bit of a contradiction. Besides, the reference as to "he never parks" when driving sounds like he goes for a drive but never makes a stop at any place. So in theory he drives and whenever he gets tired then returns home. Another theory is that he never does any errands on his Z. Maybe he drives, then gets out of the car and the vehicle has a auto-pilot program that keeps the car going around the parking lot in circles until the owner is ready to go back home.
Either way, it is very interesting how he manages to never park his vehicle unless he can fold the car several times (like a piece of paper), stuff it in his back pocket and be worry free.
