Was it meant to be?
So this morning.. I ordered my ZL1 front end parts....

Later today.. I am pulling out of my 1 car garage not THINKING! Got too close to the edge of the door and I hear a awful sound.. I panicked foot slipped off the clutch and MORE awful sound!!!!!




Looks like I will need to order a new fender as well!

I did the same thing a few months ago, except I brushed the wood trim around the door with the mirror. Only some minor paint transfer that came off with some elbow grease. I am now much more careful backing out of and pulling into the garage.

Shit happens... I am lucky to have access to a shop and I can do all the work myself. I am getting a zl1 front end anyways... Now I have to order a fender as well.
