    Wow, sorry to see something like that. Did the impact fold the mirror back, or do you park that way?

    Regards.

    Sorry. You just can't seem to catch any good luck.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Wow! Did they get distracted trying to read the 10AE badge? Hope it looks like new when it's fixed, and that it never happens again!

    Damn straight, you know that's what I was concerned about...was afraid to look!! Mirror snapped back from the impact - snaps back in to place so wasn't damaged aside from the scrapes. She also left her paint on the rear fender as well. I had no place to go but swerved to my right anyway while blasting my air horns hoping I didn't have to go into the curb, but didn't seem to phase her and she continued until she made impact. I really love my car, I really don't want to sell it - but I am beginning to think it OR me is cursed. First wreck was just a few days after I got the car when I was rearended on 635 - it's nearly ALWAYS an SUV that hits me. I'm not joking when I put my status as bumper car.

    My headlights look awesome...just had the lenses polished over the weekend, very happy with the work he did. If you want his name let me know - he will come to you and charges $25 a lense and takes about an hour. He is very thorough, works for a body shop. (trying to think of good things today).

    We don't have a computer or software good enough to render his HD 1080p HUGE file videos. I managed to convert one file to .wmv using my camcorder software - this video is a video of his video playing on my laptop taken with my point and shoot camera...I know...cheesy. Probably looks a lot better straight from the camera, although it's aimed a little low, he is still working to get it setup how he wants it.

    Thanks for doing that Carazzie. I mounted the camera higher on Saturday. Can't see what the gopro sees so I was guessing.

    I had a black VW Jetta that was hit 8-times in 9-years WHILE PARKED!!! I feel your pain.

    I wish the camera were mounted higher because it was really, really close...closer than the video says. I thought I was going to hit Michael with the back of my bumper when I passed.

    I went back and watched again...if you slow down and watch you can see that I had oversteer when I entered the screen, then the front of the car was pointed toward Nails when I passed. I enter that corner at 80mph+ so i was really cooking. Man, that was close.
