Battle scars are becoming just as much a fad as drifting now. Soon, it’ll  
be a cool thing to drive and drift in beat up, broken, ‘slutty’ cars. :rolleyes:

I hope that day never comes for my car. Damn, I bet I’ve jinxed myself now… :?

Well scars don’t necessairly have to be broken suspension (or driveline).  
A lot of guys like the look of ripped bumpers, fender, etc. that are then  
zip-tied. It gies it a rebelious look. :ugh:

no, i was told i could sue, but after talking with a lawyer i was informed they would tie me up in court for possibly years and then by them i would be lucky if the money covered the lawyers bill.

yeah, it happened while the previous owner still had it, but he told me the story. there’s small scrapes of yellow paint in the dent as evidence of this act.

oh well. it’s not creased so should be easy to get at least close to it’s original shape again…or i could just keep it as a battle scar. _shrug_
