Default Bad day at the office... :(






So I work at outback, in "To Go" and I parked my car next to my "To Go" spots. I did this because if I do my job right no one would be opening their doors and hit my car. Well this guy pulled out of the spot forward and turned too soon. I got all of his info, he's rich so I think it's straight. He's going to pay cash, and it's going going to be back at 100% pristine condition when it's done...... or else.

Sucks though, everyone was making comments all night. Then a douchebag I work with was going on about how the car is overpriced, and not just a POS. I almost killed him. One good thing is that it made me good tips, sob stories work!

There are so many horrible drivers now. I just got hit by some bitch at my school. I wasn't as lucky as you though.. I'm stuck paying out of my own pocket.

You park in the worst spot where there is the most traffic. Glad you are going to get it

fixed. Next time park in the furthest spot where you might get only one person parking

next to you all day and that person parked there because he cares about his car as

much as you do yours.

That looks rough. Glad the culprit is paying up for the damages.

When I first saw the pics, I thought it was a hit and run. But now knowing, you saw who did it and got his info. You're good to go. Time for a new aftermarket bumper.

I would **** a brick if I came out to my car lookin like that. Especially since mine isn't payed off.

But if he's payin out of pocket for the repairs, make sure you take it to a good shop and get him an estimate there, then stand fast on having it fixed there and not some macco or something.

The whole front bumper on my S has orange peel because the asshat that had it before me took it to macco when he put the front lip on. Rather then just color match the front lip, they sparyed the entire bumper... including the emblem. Its cute.

The parking lot at work is really small, and that spot is actually the best because all night, if I can take care of things there will only be three or four cars parked next to me. The spot is furthest from the TOGO door, so people generally don't park there. The parking lot is so small it fills up in the first hour, and if someone has to park next to me I'd rather be able to see it. My friend was on my other side.

All I pay for is my car, so Outback makes the payments and then some. My mom's life insurance is paying my tuition.

The dude at the shop realized what I was going to do and called me out on it..... so no lip. $1,300+- $500 in parts alone. It is the best shop in this part of VA. They are twice as expensive as anywhere else, but the money is well worth it. The owner owns two NSXs and the manager has a Spa AP2, so I think I took it to the right place.

The guy is really cool and said he was going to pay for the parts today and pay the rest when it's done.

......and I didn't just walk out and see the damage, I witnessed the act. The noise was worse than a broken bone. CurrrrCRUNCH!!!

Just wondering why you used the term "office" rather than the correct term restaurant, workplace, etc.?
I would opt. to get the amuse bumper...

Yo, I got my front lip from some guy in Cali that sells them...urethane and all for about $115...grab that and have it sprayed at the same time to match better. Let me know if you need the contact.
