Unhappy started out a good day .. but then .. (56k no no)

so got a day off, wash&waxed the TL. lookin sexy, so i can take some new pics ... get my photos all set .. on my way home went to the gas station to get gas, then grocery store to pick some stuff up and go to my car .. SOMEONE BACKED INTO MY FRONT BUMPER!!!

it's a minor little ding, but still sticks out like a sore thumb to me

first are photoshoot pics ..
































it's clear that at the time of the shoot there was no ding or scratch ...

then the dent ..

that sucks bro! did you at least get their insurance so you won't have to pay for it? Might work out that you get to repaint the entire front bumper on them!

wait so let me get this straight...

best case scenario: you get the small ding fixed and it's back to the normal stock bumper
worst case scenario: ronjon kit? Doesn't sound too bad to me.

I hate it when people have absolutely no consideration for others around them. It's as if they believe the world revolves around them, and when they hit a stationary object, it's still not their fault.

Regarding the alternatives, if it was my car, i'd leave it as is. It's barely noticeable if you're not looking for it, and imo its not worth the cost, no matter how anal you are about your car. I'm kind of anal about my cavalier, but when someone keyed it across the hood, I just said screw it, it's not going to kill me.

true, it aint gonna kill me ... but it's like walkin around with a chipped tooth. some may not notice it, but you sure as hell feel it. haha

if i fix it, i'm going aspec. if i don't, i'm going ronjon.

i'm not TOO worried about it .. but damn .. i'm pissed that people out here have no awareness of that stuff.

Haha vegas drivers are crazy! I never realized it until today.
I learned how to drive here, but I live in cali. And people say we're crazy drivers.
On the freeway and side streets here I saw more crazy drivers than i see in cali in a week.
