Wreck

Someone was driving poorly, so I thought I would show him, and rammed him!

Ok, not really, but I did hit someone from behind and crunched my Shinka.

Doesn't appear to be anything but cosmetic damage, maybe one of the fog lights. I was going aboput 5mph at the time.

Raleigh, NC. I was stopped behind someone at a stop sign. He started going, and I started going, glacing away to check on the traffic that I was merging into and when I looked back, he had stopped.... *smack*

I, seemingly alone, like the stock nose.

I decided it was good to go so I mashed the gas to compensate for the friction against the curb and pushed their little sedan right out into traffic. No harm, no foul, like I said, it was clear and *I* was going to pull out. With my *ahem* encouragement they decided it was clear enough too and took off. I sure got some shocked, big-eyed looks through their rear window though. :eyecrazy:

Anyway, sorry about the damage. If you're forced to buy a pair of stock foglights and don't need the driver's side I'll buy it from you. In fact, if you're replacing your driver's side fog I might like to have the busted one. My lens is cracked - if yours is damaged in some other way I might be able to use it to repair mine.

Hope your `8 gets her face fixed soon,
I'll let you know when I do.

Fog light was lost in towing, sorry.

I have it back and it looks as new. Body shop did a good job of the waxing after the fix too.
