:xmastup: Best of luck with the repair Jaedub :tup:

At some point you've gotta start thinking "I may be doing this wrong"

You know.....I genuinely thought about that. But all 3 rear end collisions occurred when I was at a FULL STOP!!!! It's not like I braked hard causing the ABS to go off. I came to every stop at a very slow and calm manner, minding my own business annndddd BOOM!! I had 3 rear end incidents and 1 car backing out on to my door. Total of 4 incidents, at other party's fault, were all by women. Now, whenever a women with her car approaches my car, I get really paranoid. Do you guys blame me?

And thanks for all the kind words. You guys are amazing :tup:

Jay - glad you're ok though. Just a thought if you want it replaced vs repaired. Based on how it looks you might have to find a good shop who'd fight for you and get a replacement. An adjuster from the offending driver's insurance company will fight a replacement. It does not look beat enough for them to sign off on that.

Thank you Raf,

I'll keep that in mind. I'll try my best to have them replace it instead of fixing it (hopefully a box of dozen donuts will do the trick). And how come I don't see your beautiful car anymore at the parking spot in front of Chase? I go to that mall often and I haven't seen your Z for awhile now.

:shakes head:

Maybe an insulting bumper sticker would get their attention? Something like:

Yep, even good drivers have bad luck.

Years back at a stop light in my G35C, dead stopped for approx. 15 seconds, rear ended by a tourist in a Mustang. A few years later, filling gas at a station once, a minivan bangs the rear bumper of my GTI! Cell phones and in attentive drivers :shakes head:

Why am I not surprised.

My worst fear...Atlanta drivers are even worse!

something small like that, I'd just have the guilty party give me 500 bucks cash (or however much you want) and move on with life...since you filed insurance, it'll take a while for payout, all of OUR insurance rates will go up, and you're going to have an accident on your carfax (car value go bye bye)

It'll show up on a carfax for something this small? :confused:

Yup. Rooftop parking brother! There's a ramp on the side of the building that takes you to the top. I have a spot against the wall all for myself. It's a haven for crappy parkers down there.

Btw, I really hope you get what you want done. Really depends on how hard your shop grinds it out with the adjuster and how much of a prick the adjuster will be.

I've got a rear bumper with spats and fujimura bumper...just needs a repaint to black ;)

Two fifty cals with about a 500 rounds each, rear mounted under the rotating rear lights a la James Bond with rear sensors and an algorithm that detects faster than normal approaching dorks and automatically open fire in barrage form disintegrating said offender before he touches the rear my Z...

The Ultimate 370Z Mod... :yum::driving::tup:
