Angry Injured

I stinkin' backed out of my driveway right into the neighbors city-provided, monster trash can.


This is usually an easily avoided issue... but my neighbor left it right in the center of her driveway last night. It was right at dusk... I saw mine in the mirror, and one of hers... then BOOOOM.


Before I could stop the momentum of this massive vehicle, I'd pushed it 6 feet at least.


The driveways are back to back with an alley in between them... my driveway is at about a 20-25 degree incline, as is hers... like a shallow v


Needless to say, at that angle, it hit the sheet metal above and to the left of the rear hatch handle... nice 6 inch crease.

Not a single mark on the "bumper."


Know any fair shops in the Plano area? Or am I about to puke when I hear how much that'll cost me?

I may get a pic up tomorrow... if I can stomach taking one.

if it is a crease than ouch, it's just a slight dent then they may be able to repair it without painting it. (if it's a good shop) I've only dealt with a couple shops in Texas. I can refer you to great shop in killeen and another in Austin

i know what you mean... the first 3 months i had the expy they rear ended my wife and i was so pissed off!!! the insurance paid it off and repaired it, but i know she'll never be the same because when i remove the right tail light i can see where the damage was...

but anyways hope they dont charge you to much...
