vandelized, then ripped off the front end

[SVT 03 Cobra]

well like it says it has been a very bad weekend... friday my wife brings the car home from work, and both rear fenders have been scratched, and the SVT emblem on the rear pried off, leaving 3 chips. Needless to say I was upset. Saturday, I had a guy run a stop sign and when I veered to avoid him (while on the gas hard to get out of the way) the back end went onto the shoulder, and the resulting 1/2 spin put my front end into a trailer loaded with a small escavator. The front bumber came completely off, along with a headlight, and part of the grill, also the driverside fender is bent way down :??: My poor heart is broken..... pics will follow in the morning.

*edit* See pics below

I hope everyone else had a good holiday!

Someone backed into mine while it was parked today. I watched the moron do it.

I kept thinking to myself "Surely he sees my car there".

Nope. Crunch.

Yours is worse though. I know a little of what you are feeling. Not such a great Easter.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. At least it can be fixed.

 

[Jaysvt]

sorry dude i thought my weekend was bad with a broken fuel regulator

 

[byevette]

Jayson,
Sorry to hear about that. That really sucks. Let me know when you plan on coming to Regency.

I guess i can stop b#@!&ing about it raining here all weekend. hopefully your new paint will be better than the thin factory job.

 

[OrigTXCobra]

Sly, how bad is the damage? I can't believe it.

a bunch of us went to the track at bg and someone else was having a bad holiday wknd as the person hit the wall hard in a 2nd gen lightning and the front bumper assembly was hanging down almost touching the ground.i did not talk to the owner but it looked like it was flatbed time getting it home

That sucks! Seems like a lot of bad misfortune this weekend.

Mine almost got backed into Saturday while I was getting gas. Something about the Dark Shadow Gray, I guess. If they can't beat it, they'll kill it!

Best of luck with the repairs.

My heart goes out to you guys with all the misfortune this weekend. I guess it's a good thing I didn't take mine out of the garage all weekend. Good luck on your repairs, she'll be up n runnin before too long.

Sorry to hear that, that really sucks. It must have been something in the stars because a had a truck drop a five gallon bucket of grey paint in front of me on Saturday. I tried to get it off but it was just to much. I taking it to get detailed tomorrow. Hope everything turns out for the best.

 

[KOTH]

All you all with the incidents - best wishes with repairs etc. Glad you are all OK though.

 

[ssssnake]

Sorry to hear that Jayson and Sly. That totally ruins a nice weekend. I just don't understand why people have to destory something nice. We got "lightly" keyed a couple of months ago staying at a hotel in Houston. Rear quarter panel and taillight lens. Sly, did you pull the person out of the car and beat them? I know that made you sick to watch as they did that.

The main thing is everyone is ok. Cars can be repaired.

 

[King03Cobra]

Mine stayed in the garage and got a wax job. Glad it stayed there, sounds like this was a bad weekend to have it out for whatever reason.

Dang guys...hearing all of this makes me sad.
Sounds like everyone is ok which is the most important thing.

Cobra has been parked since Friday. Put it on the dyno and found out it was running dangerously lean.
