It all started out at Kmart - I was buying a small Craftsman toolbox on sale to take to the Texas Mile with me. I knew the workbench and five-drawer toolbox was not going to be installed in my new trailer before I left for Texas, so I need something to use for the trip.

There was YOUNG FOX in the sporting goods section - you know the type - dirty blond hair, slim waist, wearing those low riding jeans; a natural beauty with no need for makeup.... I was thinking if I were only younger, I would have her phone number in less then 10 minutes.

Fate it seems, is not without a since of irony.....

As I'm driving down the parking lot lane, my phone buzzes (H.K. Phooey - no less) and before I can reach into my shirt pocket -

-- WHAMMMM --

That little honey backs out of her parking spot and into my SRT6. Well - I'm not the type of guy that can get mad anyway so we exchange info (I did end up getting her phone number - it just took 20 minutes - Damn - I'm getting old.) The worst part was - - it was one of the only times I didn't have my camera with me - otherwise you would be enjoying a shot of her. She was pleasant which helped make a bad situation a little more tolerable.

The damage seems to be isolated to the front driver-side fender. The bumper, hood, tire & rim were spared. Only a minor chip in the door when I opened it and it rubbed on the bent fender. I doubt I can have it fixed before I leave for the Texas. Its probably going to create enough drag to penalize me 8-15 MPH.

 

Easy fix.......................replace fender, side strake..........paint fender, door and hood.

 

Wow, just goes to show it can happen at any moment. At least it was at parking lot speed. Sorry for the bad luck right before the Teaxs mile. Hope you can get it repaired or at least pulled out some before you leave for Texas. Good luck and keep us informed. A lot of us are watching with great interest.

 

Yuck!! Don't open your hood. Looks like gap is really narrow by windshield. She was driving a red??? Hope you can fix before land speed record. Beatiful color BTW..

 

Not bad damage, and if she is like you say... then i think you swerved into her! lol

 

Let me get this straight. Your eyes were all over this girl in the store. Then she just happens to bump your car and you think it was an accident?

You are getting old pal.

And easy!


roadster with a stick

 

I know you wanted her ##, coulde'nt you find a better way of getting it ???
It's like getting hit in the head when your car gets hit.
It hurts for a while but you get over it.

Sorry your Baby got a bobo !! It could be worse.

 

And that's another excellent reason when shopping, to park way out in the boonies like I do; besides it's good exercise. Sorry for the fender bender.

 

That's what you get for shopping at K-mart.

 

Worst possible timing. I would say you stil have it, after all she was hitting on you!

Did the comparison today, an improvement of one and a half cars to 60 with the SL55 setup. Very impressed

 

Sorry for that one, it takes the shine off, but it is still running and your ok. THats all that counts, it a car, nice but a car. Might be a special speed secret, or youcan claim that a jackrabbit hit you at 185+. Be Well Woody

 

Ouch.....sorry to see the painful pictures.


The REAL test of how old you are is how quick you were on your feet under stress. What EXACTLY is the arrangement you made to recieve "payment" for damages done?

 

no, that's what you get for not driving the "parts chaser" to K-Mart!

 

sorry to see that.
and since when do the good looking girls hang out at kmart?

 

^^^ I'm with this guy

 

That just flat out blows! Sorry man! yeah, whenever I go to a store, I park way out of the way on an end spot.

 

I just love the way a babe can affect us guys. You say "she was pleasant which helped make a bad situation..." you know you meant pleasant looking LOL!

If that would have been me backing into your car, you would have flipped your lid but a Babe and well all the anxiety is calmed! Gotta love the power of beauty!

Well hope your ride is easily recovered and yes it is great that there was minimal damage to the door!

Glad it wasnt worse.

 

I did - I was actually in the car driving down the row when she backed out into me.

Nice Craftman portable tool box for $19.95 - can't pass it up.

Upon further review - the clearance for the front tire is minimal - hate to get there and fail inspection - I'll have to see what can be done.

I hear ya on that one. My truck was hooked up to my new (well new to me) 20" enclosed car hauler.

Come to my little So. Cal town just off the Pacific and you will understand.
