ow! ow! OOW!
Hi all,
I met many of you at Earl's. My liquid silver got rear-ended about an hour an fourty-five minutes ago. Someone in a black 4 wheel drive SUV decided that gravity didn't apply to her. There is a hole in my bumper about 5 by 4 inches. I was stopped at a red light! My neck hurts but not as much as my bumper. I just posted because I am really angry but am still planning to go on the fall colors tour but my car won't be perfect. Any ideas for a quick patch so she'll look nice until I can get the bumper replaced? Thanks and looking forward to seeing you all. Cherie |

Sure. One idea would be to go to Earl's and swap one of the bumpers out. With that many SVXes, he will not notice.
The second idea is to go get a roll of duck tape and tape it up till you fix it. Duck tape cures everything.

Thank you
Duct tape sounds like a good idea for temporary repair Thanks for your comments. i will have it checked out for hidden damage. I am so pissed off! Can I use that word in this forum? I've had Esmerlda for 8 years. Well, I guess I need to prepare myself for my insurance company, her insurance company, the body shop and my mechanic's decision. Darn, I think I'll have a glass of wine.

The first thing I thought of was Duct Tape as well. Liquid Silver car and Duct Tape I would use the silver color instead of Blue or OD.

'Tis the season once again for Washingtonians who forget what rain does to roads and braking distance.
At least it's a clear cut situation and her insurance company should take care of everything. And the damage shouldn't be enough to total it. Slap some duct tape on there and we'll see you next weekend!

Good news regarding ow ow OW!
The other driver took full responsibility. Two agents have been in contact and they are being really nice because I was injured, I think that why they are being nice. I forgot to mention that I got hurt too, before. THEY ARE EVEN GETTING ME A RENTAL WHILE MY CAR IS FIXED! I haven't been in a car accident in 31 years. Is this how thing are now?
Not that it is worth it. Thanks for all your supportive replies. Most people just think it's just a car but we all know different. Well. Thanks again Cherie |

I think they just don't want to be sued.

Thx Alycone
i knew you would know how it feels to have your car bashed. I'm ok but really the car injuries are the worst. I will heal. And so will Esmrlda. They have found the parts. Yipee!
