So there i was driving down West Sahara gazing at all the nice cars and i come to a stoplight. i was parked BEFORE the cross-walk.....i am sitting there and i notice this blind man with a huge metal cane with a rubber thing on the end. He is walking in the cross-walk so i figure i am safe....well i guessed wrong. i look away for two seconds and then i here a loud THUD against my side panel on the drivers side! The guy swayed away from the cross-walk and just HIT MY RX-8 then kept walking! he left a pretty big dent in the door, i was really mad about it at first, then i realized it wasn't half as bad as a real accident. Since i was in the neighborhood i took it to the dealer and they fixed it while i was at dinner (They gave me a loaner car). Uhhh.....just thought i'd share the first bad thing that happend to me and my 8. (and hopefully the last!).

 

How did they fix it Doug?

 

That's a tough one to deal with. If you started bitching out a blind guy a mob of people probably would have dragged you out of your car and pummeled you.

The dealer use the paintless dent removal thing?

 

HAHA. Karma dude.

 

Maybe he wasn't totally blind and noticed your cool ride and wanted a "closer" look :D

 

He probably drives a WRX.

 

What can ya do? You handled the situation exactly how you should.

You can hide it in the garage under a cover for all eternity, how much fun would that be?

 

Uh-oh, Ike's gonna be here any minute....

 

Did he yell "Rrrrroooooaaaddd Hooogggg!" ?

:D

 

I have no clue how they did it, i just went in there panicking (over a dent, i know) and i asked them if they could fix it, they just said yes then gave me a loaner so i could be on my way....i went back abot 2 hours later and they had it fixed!

 

yeah, i think they used that thing that you can buy for like 20 bucks off the tv, i am not sure though. I know at first i wanted to get out and be like "WTF?!!" then i thought about it and was like, ok what am i gonna say to a blind guy? "didn't you see me?"

 

He was probably wondering why you didn't say something to him before he bumped into you and kept quiet while you watched him run right into you - not knowing you were looking the other way

 

haha that would be hilarious.

 

what did they charge you?

 

man that comdey. I once had this blind lady trying to get inside my passenger side door. since her friend had parked around the same area as me. I just stood there like what hell while her friend in the next parking spot was laughing her head off. poor lady she was trying to work the door open while cursing her friend for locking the door on her.

 

The guy who sold me the car back in February is pretty tight with me and he told me it was no problem, they could fix it at no charge...I got HOOOOKED up!
