Wow, man. You really got the short end of the stick that day--but way to keep your chin up! Sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders.


...and you won't have any problems finding girls in your Camaro

Did you change the rotor as well? These are notorious for needing to be changed about every 6 months or so. Any moisture in the air and it doesn't get the needed spark.

Oh man, that's awful! My sympathies. I joined the damaged Camaro club last month, after hitting the corner of the house with it , so I can relate to the body shop blues. I was lucky - it was just an un-dent and repaint, no new parts. Hopefully it won't take too long to get your new bumper.

Ouch! I bet dad feels just awful as it is! Though if he offers to help cover the insurance deductible, I woudln't say no.

I wish there was a way to know when a black cloud day is coming, so you can just stay in bed. Good luck from here on out, that's quite a story.

wow.......you really werent kidding about the worst 24 hours......thats unbleiveable. I hope everything starts going your way. Like another user said, it can only go better now right. I must say, hearing your story made me cringe, but those pics was just unbearable. But like everyone says, shit happens. Almost to make sure it ruins everything good, happened to me....but the good thing is everything is repairable and theres always light at the end of the tunnel. Good Luck with your Camaro and other cars!
