2 week old G! and already a fender bender
so i was backing up out of driveway, stopped to put it into drive, and i see a 92 camry backing, next thing i know, this old hag floors the accelerator on reverse because she wasnt looking through her rearview, i honk, but its too late. My whole back left side is dented, scratched, and torn up. Two weeks olds man....just thought id share this tragedy with you guys. On a brighter note, shes paying for everything?

I feel for you. Mine was only a few months old when I was rear-ended at a stoplight. Good as new now. Hope you get yours fixed up quickly.
On the bright side, you can stop worrying about getting that first scratch. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

these cars are a magnet for fender benders... i think the cars are jealous and try to mess up the G on purpose.. or maybe it's the ppl driving them..

Count your blessings man, the car can be fixed. You're lucky to have been IN the car. As a father of several yung'un's, I just cringe when I hear a "didn't even bother to look" or "my accelerator stuck" story.
We will be curious to hear how long the repair takes if your bodyshop needs to order parts.

Re: 2 week old G! and already a fender bender
I feel for all of you. My back driver side was slightly smashed after only having my G for about 3 weeks. It pissed my off big time because I don't know who did it. The person must have backed into the side when they were trying to pull out in the parking lot. I even parked my car in the parking lot far away where there are no cars close by and it was only for about 15 minutes. People don't respect other people's property especially when it's new.
One thing I wish the G had is a shock sensor intergrated with its alarm system so that if someone bumps your car it will trigger the car alarm.

Re: 2 week old G! and already a fender bender
The first thing I had done to my car was a 2-way alarm that would page me if someone hit it. It works at about 1/3 a mile distance, so not too bad. More than once I've had it go off and walked out of a store to see someone inspecting my door to see if they left a dent. Once I walked up to a lady as she was looking at it outside of Blockbuster and said "Were you looking where to leave a note?". So far, no dings, but it's only a matter of time. Hopefully when that time comes, I'll be able to get to my car and nail the dork that did it.

Re: 2 week old G! and already a fender bender
I had a similar incident happen with a show truck. An old bag t-boned me out of a parking spot as she saw me on the main road. She floored it in reverse smashed the entire side of my custom Suburban, and proceeded to floor it into drive, into a 700 pound concrete planter and through the glass of a store.
What's the lesson here? Strip the licenses of old farts. They should be in walkers, not in cars. Offer the stupid old bag a "hoverround". She won't get into trouble with one of those.
