bad things come in threes, right?
First there was this in March, a woman in a brand new 540i hit me.
Then there was this in May, some f-ckwad sideswiped me while I was parked near my office.
And now this is the product of my own idiocy. I had pulled into a space that wasn't mine in my parking garage to let my wife and daughter out near the elevator. I was looking behind me as I backed up and cut the wheel, ramming right into a post. This is a whopping $3098 worth of damage!
I hope this is it. Otherwise, the car is jinxed, I am going to get a H3 instead, people can just run into my tires / cattle guards :P~

$3100?? I'd get another estimate. I had a crease/scrape all the way down the driver's door fixed, replaced the rear door, had some dents banged out of the quaterpanel, and all repainted for a little more than that.
Silver, I see...

True, true. I see you all the time. The other day I was in my friend's IROC going to my apartment to burn some CDs at lunchtime and we saw you on the 405.

Man that stinks 
Once it is repaired, instead of an H3 you should get another 8 in any color but the cursed Silver. May I suggest Red :D
A mod should send this to everyone in "Calling all Silvers"
