my poor car.....i was trying to park in downtown philly yesterday mrng, and i got a little too close to an older mercedes....i left my number under the wiper of the car, and the owner did call me back that afternoon. my car took the brunt of the damage (RR door below molding smashed in along with gray stripe of paint along the bottom border -- the mercedes has a scratched bumper with paint missing on left corner) :headbash: :bawling: :bawl: :boohoo: :sorry: :jawdrop: :screwy: :withstupi

will try to get some quotes on it to see how much it will cost....not planning on reporting to insurance cause it probably won't go past deductable.....

he seemed to be a nice guy, and said that he would call me back once he looks at the damage....i called him back at 8 last night, but no answer....i hope that nothing bad is going on behind the scenes...... :paranoid:

You got a 50/50 chance of it going well or not....

Although we haven't been directly involved, our daughter has dealt with all kinds.....

If they get too nasty, you can just go ahead & turn it into the insurance....if you must....

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Yes! the snowflakes with the car are pretty!

I wish I could figure out a way to put my car in the gazebo when the wisteria is in bloom! THAT would be MY dream picture of my car!! :yes:

Yeah, probably.... I may try it this year when it's blooming. I may need to take a shot of my car under a tree for the right shadowing.... ummm, I'll have to seriously think about that....
