Some people just have the worst luck... i.e., me.

[johndoby]

I woke up this morning and walked into the living room, there was a note waiting for me on the couch.

"Please don't be mad at me. It was foggy this morning and I backed into your car."....

"Damn," I thought to myself. I just bought that Cherokee. Wait she said 'car'. Surely she didn't!" The letter continues...

...."It didn't hurt it too bad...but there is some damage. I am SOO SORRY."

"Please don't let it be the Chevelle...Please don't let it be the Chevelle."

So, I walk outside and sure enough, the cover on my 66 Chevelle was ripped and torn. I kept thinking it was going to be a tiny dent because of the nature of her letter, but as I peeled back the cover, I found otherwise. I will be needing a new hood, fender, 2 pieces of chrome trim, headlight bezel, bumper brackets and maybe a bumper. What sucks is that I just got done putting a new motor and transmission in it, along with everything else from the air filter to the driveshaft, and I was maybe 4 hours from finishing. Also, her deductible (we have no choice but to file a claim, as her car is worse than mine.) is $400, and she is fresh out of college which means that I'll be paying for that as well.

:banghead:

Never park a valuable/rare/collectible car where people have to drive backwards.

You said "she" but you didn't mention how she is related. Daughter, girlfriend or wife?

If it's your daughter that really sucks. If it's a girlfriend or wife....well you know there are tons of other women out there that can drive in the fog right?

Oh yeah, "she" is my fiance. She's been avoiding me since the incident.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...this is what happened on the way home from work this morning.

Sorry to hear that man, That XJ WAS clean. Really, all it needs is a header panel and radiator by the looks of it.

Damn, that does suck. I feel for the Chevelle.

If I had a nice car, I would NOT park it anywhere near where my fiancee has to back-up or park. Especially not when there is snow out. I really feel bad for the trees near the driveway.

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

it seems clear to me...

file police report on both incidents..
find new girlfriend/wife.
collect insurance on both
fix jeep and Chevelle
Enjoy deer meat.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking. As a matter of fact, I was just thinking earlier, "Damn, I wish it would have hurt the bumper more, that way I could replace it with the JCR I've been looking at. And yes, I have insurance, but it's a $500 deductible.
