I'm planning on being there either way. Lunch is indoors anyways, no excuse to miss it. Plus I'm still relatively new to the area and looking forward to meeting some new people.

It's funny Vinny...Even though you are driving 615 miles from Florida, I am driving over 800 miles coming home from Little Rock, AR on Friday. The car looks like a big white rock of salt after the trip to Atlanta today. I tried to get it washed after work today but the places were closed. I should have almost 2000 miles on the car by Friday so I think I am the one here who is driving the most miles to attend the meet...lol.

Rear Ended. By your cousin's, cousin's wife, I think.

Just this morning. Stop and go by the local High School and she just stopped paying attention for a moment and BAM! No injuries. Her fault.

Glad the TL-S was on Jack Stands, other-wise I would've been driving it - .

Can't do it- company car.

If it were the TL-S, it might have ended up with an A-Spec rear lip though.

Looks like mostly the bumper cover. I didn't notice any fender/panel damage.

Damn Jim. Glad everyone is ok. Be glad it was the company car...that's what they're there for.

Derwood - I saw basically the same weather report this morning, 71 and 0% chance of rain Saturday .

No. She just lives a couple of streets over. We were both taking our kids to school. She was very nice and apologetic.

Unfortunately, due to it being a company car, I had to call the police and file a report. Char-Meck policy is not to cite drivers in accidents unless the offense is significant. So she didn't get a ticket. But her/their rates might go up.

She had a 2008 Accord, which she said was new or brand new. Maybe they just got it recently -

Anybody familiar with Coffey's Body Shop on Wilkerson? That's one of my "in network "repair" shops.

Jim, that sucks....Good thing you are ok. I drove 470 miles today and ended up in AR. I have 730 miles on the car since Monday. The TL is a road king. I am out of here in the afternoon and hitting Nashville, TN by tomorrow night.

BTW, My left front light is fogging up badly out of the blue so I am not sure what is up. These have been open before so I am a little worried to open them again. Is that a bad idea?? I think it might be time to invest in another set of lights in the near future.

Thanks guys.

Really not a big deal. A little annoying at 7AM, but the car doesn't matter. It'll get fixed -minor damage as far as I can tell - then I'll drive for another 60k miles or so and get something else.

It's basic transportation, not an Acura.

Current plan is to wash the car Friday, so I should make C&C Saturday morning. Nic, since you and Ross are in town, do you want to meet somewhere (Midtown area?) to head to C&C? If we time it right, we can catch the other guys on 77 heading up from Ballantyne.

I got you covered. Since I'm going to C&C, my phone will be on from around 7:00am or so.
