That's right, just 6 months old and already going to see the body doctor!! Was at the grocery store waiting for someone to back out of a spot and looked over to my right and saw it coming. A S-10 slowly backing up, I started honking and yeling, then BOOM!! Got out about ready to take it to someones ass when I saw the driver. Around 80 yrs old. So I couldn't go off. Have a 8 inch crease w/ paint chipped on the bottom passenger door going into the front fender. His insurance is paying for everything i.e. rental/repairs. But my baby will be on 1 of those car fax commercials now!!!

Egh ouch, that's exactly how my 300c ended up in the shop when it was uh.. 4 months old? Sucks doesn't it? And believe me neither of us are firsts (there's been a half dozen of these by now) - people really need to watch the (@&#* out in parking lots!
Moreso I still find it slightly funny how someone can miss a car that big. I'd hate to be driving a mini cooper or a miata or something o_O
Sorry to hear that chief, hope your car is as good as new real soon! Shoot, at least it's only body panels.

Which shopping center was that? I guess it could have been any one, being that every shopping center on this rock is always crowded. If he looked around 80 yrs. old, chances are he is. There are so many super old, old folks still being issued driver's licenses and getting into accidents etc. Believe me, I see'um.
I noticed you were in Pearl City. HEMILVR is trying to set up a M&G sometime mid September if you're interested then possibly a circle island cruise, (sorry I meant circle the island- drive/convoy). Good luck with your baby (Charger).

It was at the Foodland in Pearl City across the street from the HPD station. I replied to his M&G post. I'm down for it.

Apparently there is a big magnet in the center of our cars
