Guy backed into my FRS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CrazyClover · 02-14-2014, 11:17 PM

Had to get the news that someone hit my car in the parking lot. Some guy backed his truck into her. Front bumper driver fender and door are shot. Brakes feel like something's up. Insurance can't get out till Monday. Man I'm going to miss driving her while in the shop. Hopefully not to much wrong other than the cosmetics.

I'm worried about the paint matching anyone have any info on if the raven color is hard to match.

Sorry to hear. A painter will have to blend the paint to make it presentable. It will not be 100%.

I park away from everyone in a corner to. Still can't believe this happened. Man this sucks.

Ah man that sucks, and I'm sorry to hear this - it amazes me how these things seem to happen despite our best efforts to avoid them. At least he (or someone else) got the information, so you can work it out with insurance.

I hope everything turns out well with the repairs - good excuse to buy her something nice when she's done at the hospital

DANG ...... I just hate to see that ......

That's a nasty bang.

I hope it's not as bad (hard to fix) as it looks.

Damn dude that sucks. People are such assholes where I live I'm very thankful something hasn't happened already...

F*** assholes.

Hopefully the shop does a good job, and she still drives good. That's all that matters, I know the paint might not look perfect but it'll still be your car.

I always park away from everyone as well. I came out of an appointment on Thursday afternoon to find a douchebag in a truck parked so close to my driver side I couldn't get in...I'm talking inches..people are assholes.

How do you know it won't be 100%. Nothing like kicking someone when their down..
They can do amazing things these days with computer matching of paints.. Or even buy the exact paints.. Unreal..

With the car being as new as it is and still in production there is probably good chance they will be able to get the same paint for him. The way they do things nowadays with everything being computer controlled there is less chance of variations in the mx of the paint.
