Just when I thought it couldn't get worse....
IT DID!!!!!!!
For the past year I have been having some of the worse luck ever. This week has been terribly bad. I have been driving my civic and decided hey let me DO something to the car, so i go to the VW dealership and pick up one of these lips ppl have been talking about. I used my pt job (Advance) and got both pcs for $24. I jack the car up to test fit the lip and noticed my CV boot is slinging grease every where. I just do a quick check over the engine to see that the alt. belt needs changing. I get the belt changed and drive home, and to make a long story short, (if you read my other thread), the Civic has some starting issues, most likely timing is off.
So, I am back to my Prelude, which is past due for a tag. I haven't been able to pass emissions and it keeps giving a code 7. I put the Civic tag on the Prelude and my friend and I fixed the TPS code it was giving. So hopefully now I can pass.
Well, today me still being frustrated with all this, call my old job back (bartending) and they let me come back this morning. I am thinking "man, I think things are looking better for me." I leave there and go to my pt job at Advance Auto Parts.
Still having a good day because the District Manager is there and he offered me FREE tickets to Nopi and dinner and had me pick some things that I think would sell at Nopi.
Well, the DM leaves and it is time for me to go to another store to pick up some parts for a customer. I walk outside to see this:
They hit my car and dipped.
before anyone gets started about the wiper nozzles, mines were missing when I bought the car 4 yrs ago. These were a replacement and they are NOT hooked up. I was just too lazy to find some.

Re: (eda6 hb)
look on the bright side
its just a fender, where anybody in their right minds could do.
And junkyard at most 40-50 bucks
lucky that it didn't get anymore damage!
nice hatch BTW

Our parking lot doesn't have cameras!!! Our store doesn't even have detectors. Sometimes ppl have a ball stealing from our store. LOL
I am about to go get 3 estimates just in case Advance pays for this. I hope they do though.
Th Prelude paint code is R-81 Milano Red (it faded but I was getting it painted in a month or two)
The civic's paintcode is B56M-4 Saxony Blue Metallic. I repainted it the same factory color
