Got hit today at lunch -- It's the engine swap curse.

Yep, I coulda seen it coming.

The day of my JDM engine swap I get hit in the rear driver's side quarter panel by someone pulling out and looking the other way as I was pulling into a parking lot. I almost escaped but she got me right behind the wheel.

Pics forthcoming in a few minutes.

I'm sure it isn't totalled, but I can't imagine this being less than $1500 to fix. It will require a new bumper, paint for the bumper, a replaced/repaired quarter panel and paint for that. I'll be getting estimates on monday.

Did you go off on her, or were you polite?

Was she wearing glasses that could fry an ant on a cloudy day?

Can the dealership fix that, or are you going to take it somewhere else?

I hate it when that happens to Aztec Red 3rd gens! (Or any 3rd gen)

good luck with everything, Keelan.

In my first black max it got in a wreck. Still waiting for the ins. company to make their decision to total it or pay me off. But I am getting a silver max (hopefully) because I am tired of cleaning every spec of dirt on my max. J/p I love that black color and one day I'll get it repainted.

I woulda pimp slapped her for that. 99% women don't deserve to be anywhere near a car. Don't check the oil, when a light comes on they just let it go till the car really focks up, you guys know what I'm talking about. Damn women!
