Son of a... rear ended myself
Pulled a real bonehead move last night. I was backing the Marauder out of the garage last night and smacked right into my wife's Escape. Too dark outside, too bright inside, tinted windows, not looking at what the hell I was doing... one of those "ah *****" moments.
Paint on the top of the rear fascia split in several places and a couple of nice spider webs 3 inches on either side of the MARAUDER text. The wife's Escape took it like a trooper (like I could care). I'm so pissed with myself.
I took it to a collision repair place this afternoon and was quoted $650 for R&R and repaint. Took it to the dealer's body shop and was quoted $500. Both estimators said it was only paint damage, the plastic seemed ok. So after talking cars with the body shop manager for awhile and wound up cutting a side job. Knocked a $100 bucks off the estimate and promised me a better job that if I ran it though the front door.
So joy oh joy, I'm pulling off the SS inserts out and removed the fascia tonight and deliver it via truck bed tomorrow. Good thing I had practice on TMF's car, know that I know where all the body bolts are. I better get to work on it. Someone give me a good swift kick in the a$$. I deserve it.
Currently Marauderless but looking
