Re: Another OUCH

That's not easy to look at. But as others said it should be fixed with no problems. Keep us posted to the repairs,

Re: Another OUCH

Hate to see that, very unfortunate given that you already had one ouch too many this year.

Re: Another OUCH

Thank goodness the guy came in and told you about it. I agree with everyone - hopefuly it will be back in no time and as good as new. At least you can still drive it this time.

Re: Another OUCH

Easy fix. I had to replace the whole front fender. A good shop will make quick work of that, and color match nicely. No worries.

Re: Another OUCH

Update: The trucking company's insurance got hold of me this morning. Estimates look OK. Told them I wanted to take it to the body shop that worked on the bird the last time. They said "OK" Only problem is that the body shop will be closed from Dec. 24 till Jan. 4th of next year. Insurance company is working on a rental car for me to use. Told them I would take the car in for repairs on Jan. 4th. I was able to save the license plate so I don't have to order a new one. (takes up to 4 months to get a new one plus $23.00)

Re: Another OUCH

Glad to hear that things are going as smooth as possible. I'm sure you'll have it back in time for top down weather!

Re: Another OUCH

Good that it will not be down too long. How is the weather? Looks like it is going to be a white Christmas for you this year.

Re: Another OUCH

Update: Took the Bird to the body shop late yesterday. Hoperfully it will be back in the nest late this week. The body shop ordered the parts earlier and they should be in today.

Re: Another OUCH

I know you will be happy to get her back good as new. I am happy it was just the bumper cover and license frame: No body panels or paint work.

Re: Another OUCH

Re: Another OUCH

What you need is an old pickup truck. If you live near work, it will do fine for basic transportation. I bought a Ford Ranger for my daughter in 1998. When her kids got too big for the jump seats in back, she stored it. I turned in a leased SUV two years ago and she put about $1500 in the Ranger and gave it to me. More than two hundred and twelve thousand miles on it and it hasen't missed a beat. And if it gets hit in a parking lot, I won't suffer.

Re: Another OUCH

One of the reasons I now have a truck and my bird. I miss driving the bird everyday, but it does offer a little more protection for me. I was in my Merlot beauty today. Love driving that car. Hope you're back in yours soon.

Re: Another OUCH

UPDATE: The Bird is back in the nest. Looks good. There was less damage than first estimated. Did not have to replace the Rear bumper reinforcement bar. Just the rear bumper cover, license attachment package, bumper brackets & bumper impact cushions. Will not drive car till the roads and weather improves.
