Angry be grateful your not me today....

Figured I would share this so we can share the pain. Yesterday I finally finished my paint! The matte was perfect came out great I was up till 2 in the morning putting my lights, headlights, weather striping, and everything else I could. So here comes the sad part.....

I drove to Arcadia to pick up some stuff for work and I hate the 605 as is but this just tops it off. My lower rubber weather stripping on my driver door was making some noise and I got super worried thought it was touching my paint etc . So I quickly pulled over to the emergency lane as fast as possible. Normally I never pull over I just get off at an exit. So I get out and start fixing the seal when I turn to my right i see a semi truck halfway in the emergency lane. I just got as close to my car as I could and from the wind alone the door got pulled out so hard it bent the hinges since i didn't have time to put the door stops on last night. Took me 10 minutes to push the door closed.... So now I have this and I can't open my driver side door.





To top off the story that **** just kept driving like nothing happened. I would have chased him down if could of closed my door....

It's a wrap once you get a scratch cause you would have to repaint the whole section to get rid of it.
