Got backed into!

And remarkably no damage was done to me...was in a parking lot so GL with me getting any money. He hit my rear bumper at about 2 or 3mph...my adrenaline was still flowing though lol. There is a small dent and it popped the plastic fender liner out so it was rubbing on the tire till i popped it back into place. Hopefully i can get 100 bucks or something to go towards whatever aftermarket bumper im getting..

not a bad first accident though lol.

A friend of mine with his truck and trailer carrying his Chevette backed into the rear of my car in the raceway parking lot after an event one time. I had my car in neutral while fidgeting with my phone, and he was directly behind me thinking I already took off. He knocked me forward 10 feet before I hit my brakes.

Fortunately he only put a small gash in the black molding and smashed my license plate frame in a bit, and that was all. You wouldn't know the damage was there unless it was pointed out.

Hmm, yes; front not much so at all... I just got my car back from a third time of having the front replaced; hit a raccoon recently that broke the mounts in the air dam piece. Previous incidents: a chunk of ice knocked a softball-sized hole into where a fog-light was, and a piece of tire tread permanently dislodged the air dam.

Wow, you've been through quite a bit on the front. Well, third time's a charm, and hopefully that'll be the last time having your front end rocked.

lol, I remember when I first got the car I was leaving work and I just kept reversing and I hit the car parked on the other side. The sound was so loud I thought I wrecked the back bumper. Went to look and nothing happened. The other car however was dented. Later found out it was my coworkers car.. Some 1980 Civic.. Good times.
