This weekend was my 4th with my new found love and as I have done for the past 3 weekends I cared for and gave her all of her required needs, a wash, vaccum, wheel buffing and so on.....
So Sunday rolls around and after receiving my d-papers(divorce) on Friday night I thought I would go for an extended drive. Now, I park on the right side of the garage and my soon to be ex parks on the left side, now before everybody starts flaming me in regards to why in the hell we still live together you can start another thread, So I carefully back out of the garage as I have for the past 4 weeks without incident and park the car in the driveway as I run in to get a water for my drive. While I am inside the ex ask if i would like to stay home and watch a movie, again don't ask, I say no and head back to my new love, I sit in the drive for a moment and reconsider the things the ex can give that my Z can't, so after much heartache i begin to pull back into the garage.
Here begins the nightmare, I wish I could explain how I did it but I went into shock and don't remember, someone please wake me, this can't be real....................I should have went for the damn drive....

i could hook you up if i lived closer, I am a body tech, that's what i do for a living and i can tell you that your fender is an easy fix and so is your bumper. New parts are better though just make sure they go with OEM parts and not aftermarket because the quality and fit is just plain $hit.

screw that noise...
a) is the ex hot?
b) i sure as hell hope that scrape was worth it... i.e.- you getting some last round action from the ex, soon to be divorcee...
c) fix that fender man, need to uphold the reputation of our Z's

How could I have done this
I know how you feel. Some idiot in a SUV hit my rear passenger fender and didn't leave a note! $1850.00 later, everything was all better. $1200 and 3 days doen't sound unreasonable. Most of that is probably labor. Just make sure to go some place you trust. I called the Nissan dealership I bought the car from and asked them who they would recommend.
