Awful night for the Max.

Was heading over to my friends house, to stop and talk to them about plans for the night. Pulled into the driveway to back out and turn around, but didn't stop in time and hit one of their cars.

The Max's damage consists of the front light, side light, fender, and skirt. The Saab didn't suffer too much damage, only a little piece of plastic cracked, but Max didn't come out too well.

I wish I would have been going just a tad slower for the turn, but sh*t happens. Will post pictures in a few minutes.

Yeah, oddly enough my other friends mom (I'll try not to hit their car too ) was talking about how you should listen to your gut feeling as to whether or not to do something. I felt like I shouldn't turn around, and believe it or not, I shouldn't have.


Here are two pictures: will update tomorrow during daylight.

That really sucks, bumper headlamp and side marker are all pouched. If you were able to locate the metal clip to your side marker I can help you out with a replacement one (no charge I'll post it to you if you wish to send me your info). I have smoked side markers on my car now and still have the OEM ones minus the metal clip. The clip is a bit of pita to get out but I managed to reuse mine. let me know if I can help you out with the marker.

PM sent. Also, ignore my stupid headlight question. Misread this.

Yeah, if everything goes well, looking to get the side marker and headlights from the Org. See if I can find a good deal. Also, what do you think the estimate for the body work would be around?

I was just thinking the same thing a little while ago. Thanks though!
