So I stopped by the local Walmart last night to get some groceries on my way home from work. As I was leaving the parking lot, I was hit by someone driving a Camry who didn't bother to stop at the end of the aisle. Sad thing is there wasn't any damage to the other car, this was just from the license plate on the front of the car.

Those scions just aren't built like a toyota ;-)

That really blows. any damage on the rear quarter or are you able to get a new bumper cover and be 100%?

 

That sucks. I was hit in a Shoneys parking lot several months ago and had to get a new front bumper, tie rod, and alignment. Good luck. At least nothing "engine wise" was damaged.

man......that does suck......any injury?? that's one dirty FM tC

 

better made cars=less damage!

 

Luckily all the damage is on bumper. Where is my priorities, there was no damage to the occupants either. I took those pictures this morning when everything was frosted over. -oops.

 

ouch, my head hurts from reading that....

sorry to see this...but like you said, everyone is safe so count your blessings...

 

Ouch, thats rough. Good thing no one was hurt. Hopefully, it won't take too long to repair and person who hit you had insurance.

 

just put the pictures up on my site. coudl you get a farther zoomed out picture?

hopefully tc parts are easy to get, i had to have the bumper cover and some parts replaced on my xB the otherweek, took about 3 days for parts and 3days for the shop to work on it

 

I know this is no comfort to you or your car, but we should remember that that isn't the bumper - that's the bumper COVER. The bumper is what cushions the impact. The bumper cover makes your car look pretty all the rest of the time. Remember big rubber bumpers? You want one of those? If not, we're going to have something get destroyed every time someone taps us. It sucks, but those pieces are pretty much disposable. There is no "better built" covers that wouldn't end up pretty trashed.

 

I always wondered what was behind that piece of the bumper... and now i know.

 

Heh... yeah... there is a real metal bumper down there, but if you can see it, something has already gone wrong

 

 

sorry bro.

while i was in wallmart and a couple of my friends were sitting in the back of my tc waiting, they told me that a guy left a shopping cart right next to my car, and right after he released it, it hit my left side (really windy that day). luckly no dents, but minor scratch.

 

that sucks. i have been almost hit by people doing the same thing

 

ouch taht hurts, almost got hit today in my schools parking lot while some1 was pulling out too.
