my bonneville got hit from behind!!
Oh yeah I forgot to tell all of you. As I was getting on the NJ turnpike from 295 north going home, I got hit from behind while in more traffic from this idiot in a rented cavalier. I was stopped in traffic and all of a sudden I feel a nudge from behind and a bang. Well needless to say, I am getting a new bumper and new paint!!! It works out pretty good condsidering I was going to have it painted anyway.

I have you all beat. I had an accident in February, got the front repainted, along with some huge scratches fixed!
My brother just backed into my car last Sunday...$1900. I just took my scoops off the week before, and there were some scratches on the hood, but that will be repainted this time!
When I fix my rust, I'll get a lot of the back repainted! Unless someone hits me in my rust spot first, and I'll get it done for free

Just make sure when any of you get hit be sure the other guy has insurance to cover your cars damage. I got rear-ended in my 1992 SE and it took a week of his insurance (Progressive -Progressive ******** is what I refer to them as) company debating what my car was worth because of all the modifications to decide that the other kid didn't have any insurance (no doubt because I had reciepts for over $3500 in accerssories from the Vogue wheels/Vogue Tyres to the K&N cone filter to the LED tail-lights, and the interior trim pieces all painted green to match the car.
They sure backed off quick (I should have sued them because I got bodily injury causing over 1 week of unpaid time off at work and my car was totalled (I had just paid the car loan off 3 days earlier).
Anyhow be carefull.
