Wreck, Solara vs Tahoe, i lost

:o OMFG!!! You have that same notch in the same location as my rear bumper had and DOUBLE OMFG :o :o it looks like you ALSO have the imprint of the offending driver's license plate planted on your back bumper. As long as there is no frame damage all you might need are new hinges, trunk and a bumper.

Sorry, man, didn't mean to jinx ya! Hopefully this'll be the end of the pattern.

Count your blessings, Enterprise told me they have an Accord or a Chevy HHR for a rental when I first called. I chose the Accord but when I arrived they only had an HHR and Jeep Patriot. Although I find great joy in hating on anything Chrysler I had to pick the Patriot because the HHR interior is cramped like a mufu. But damn I kinda wished I chose the HHR, the Patriot's short wheelbase and go-kart steering made my balls recede everytime a I took a turn on wet roads. One rainy day I drove my girlfriend's Dodge Neon and let her drive the Patriot--I'm too pretty to die. Still can't figure out why Jeep produces the Patriot, the Compass and the Liberty--too much cross-platform, even GM learned their lesson.

that's around 3 grand worth of damage.
same thing happened to mine last winter.

make sure you have them test for leaks before you take it back from the body shop since mine had issues and took a few different visits to get it right.
