Sweet glad it is getting taken care of.
As for paint match, take it to any specialist, they can match the paint there or buy it directly from Nissan I would think. If you want to take it to the dealer that is fine, but I would check out the facility to see how it looks. Treat it as if it were a paint and body shop not a dealer though. You should get descent access to where the cars are being prepped and fixed. I would take it to a really reputable shop with good painters and great reviews.

Good news! Her insurance company is accepting the liability and I'm covered. Total estimate for my rear bumper is $1,000. Thank god it worked out flawlessly ;)

Im going tru the same thing. I got hit from a red light that turned green. The clown hit me on my rear drivers side. My damage looks some what like that but i have a large dent on my rear wheel fender. He must have been staring at that fat ***! :shakes head::mad::shakes head:

i drove past a bodyshop that i usually do during my commute.

usually i see like maybe 5-6 cars outside getting repaired. today, after the 2 days of deep freeze, i saw like 30-40cars. lol :eekdance:

Enterprise offered me 2 choices. Either Mustang V6 or Camaro V6, both convertible. I chose the stang just for the hell of it. I personally don't like American cars but my choice was limited.

My impression? It's heavy and sluggish. The car has so much roll:shakes head: The suspension seemed like they were made out of jello. Granted, it's only a V6 and not a V8, but compared to our Z......no game. I put the petal to the metal and at about 5k RPM, I immediately cut the throttle because I was so disappointed. Dash consist about 2-3 time more buttons compared to our Z. It felt like I was starring down on a fighter jet dash.

Overall, it was worse than I anticipated. I thought it was going to be a bit sporty. Nope. Not at all. For those who thinks I'm bashing on V6 stang....I totally am. However, I'm sure the 5.0 begs to differ.

I feel that exact same way as you. Whem transformers came out i was obsessed with the camaro. Chevy had this test drive permotion for the car a couple of years ago . When i sat in the car the interior was ugly and during the test drive i can feel how heavy and sluggish the car was during the first turn on the test track. It completely turned me off from getting that car. Ive always liked compact sporty cars. :driving:
