Turns out you should really pay attention when you're in a parking lot. Stay focused on where the four corners of your car are so you don't hit any stationary objects... It took me 2 years, 2 months, and 11 days to get in an accident with it. I guess it was about time.

 

And that was the front of the car, not the rear. Whoops!

 

I would've cried, many many times.

 

I think I'm going to be sick...

 

The new guys in the back barfing his brains out, OH MY GOD!

 

Gullllp... Oh sh** !!! Sorry man that sucks.

 

ndfrspeed2...Ouch bud...I know that feeling exactly...not in my xf but i did something similar going down a circular parking ramp in DC with my Dakota!

I know this is not what you're thinking about right now, but it would be good to get an update from you about repair (Time/cost) if you would care to share the experience. I for one am hoping it's as painless as possible.

Good luck bud.

FYI to all, I've now seen auctions recently on ebay of wreaked XF's that were basically being sold as "project cars" (repairable - or just for parts). So all you racers or Mod kings (queens) may want to have a look.

 

That's a shame and I feel for you. I cringe when I'm backing or pulling up to the outside teller at the bank. You really have to take your time and be super careful. Hope it gets fixed quickly.

The worst thing about wrecking your car on a Friday night is that you have to wait until Monday until you can really do anything about it! SUCH MISERY!!! Why aren't body shops open on the weekends?!?! I went through the phone book twice calling everyone under Collision/Repair and everyone is closed. When I finally got a hold of someone it turned out they were just there...but not open. I've got an appt. at 7:30 am Monday to get an estimate. Any guesses?? New bumper, new quarter panel (maybe), new headlight, and paint.

The body shop is called Registers in Wilmington, NC. If anyone knows of them please let me know.

Thanks for the remarks. Misery loves company. Updates to follow...

 

Damn dude, terrible. That is my nightmare for both my rare cars.

 

Had estimates done today. They say they can fix the bumper but are going to replace the fender...I figured it would be the other way around. New headlight, re-finish the rim... About $2,200 bucks. Ouch. It goes in the shop next Monday...

 

That just sucks, but we've probably all been there one way or another.
I sure hope they can match your color. Good Luck ndfrspeed2.
