So embarrassed...

I have no idea how this happened.  I'm driving home from the grocery store and just as I'm entering the gate to the apartment I hear this horrible sound.  I look all around and cannot see anything but I swear I thought someone had rammed my car or something.  So, I park and I get out and ask the bystanders what happened.  Basically, I just have horrible depth perception and ran into the gate with the back end of my car.  How does this even happen?  The gate was opening and it's the back passenger side that got hit.  I was hoping there wouldn't be any damage but it pulled part of the back bumper (I guess that's what you'd call that part) off!   I am so confused as to how I did this.  And embarrassed.  And mad. 

I feel like my night is ruined.  Thanks for letting me vent...and if you know any cheap body shops I'd appreciate a rec.

    If your front end had already entered the gate, then how would the back end have been hit?  Could the gate have been faulty and start closing on your car?  If so, I would go talk to the apt. complex.  That really stinks!!  The only body shop I have used is B&B Body and I have used them twice and was happy with them.  Hope it gets fixed quickly!

  • That's why I'm so confused.  I have no idea how it happened.  I really should have asked the people if they saw exactly what happened but I was so embarrassed and shocked that I just went to look at the damage and didn't really talk to them.  Maybe that is what happened...

    I would have done the same thing.  I would definitely go talk to the apartment complex because unless someone has a better idea, I really don't see how half of your car have gone through the gate perfectly fine and then the back end get hit.  I would think that would be their fault.

  • I have been very pleased with delta body and frame. Now that I think of it, they have a new name... But same guys running it. It's on Anderson mill. Google delta body and frame and I'm sure you can get the right number!
  • DH works at Don's Paint & Body Shop at 12th & Lamar.  Does the bumper just need popped back on?  Can you tell if the clips behind the bumper are broken?  (Haha, can you tell that I've been married to a Body Shop guy for too long?)  If it just needs properly put back on my DH would happily do it for you for a 6 pack of beer or something. =)  Shoot me an email: tiffany <at> good-libations.com
