bumper on my husband's pickup!!!
He took my car to get it washed so I drove his pickup to work. I had a doctor appointment on the way and the parking rows were pretty close together so I backed into the space. I clearly saw the light pole behind me, but what I couldn't see what the larger round concrete thing surrounding it about 3 feet from the ground up. So, while I was plenty far from the pole I was watching, I hit the concrete thing with the back bumper.
Bad thing is this is a relatively new pickup - we just traded an older pickup in for this one a few months ago. The older one had a few bumps and bangs and this wouldn't have been any big deal - but it was the FREAKIN' NEW PICKUP!
I knew hubby wouldn't be mad, but thought I'd get a lecture. Much to my surprise he just said, "you know, I did the same thing years ago, but I was going forward and hit the concrete" So, I didn't feel as badly.
The estimate was $550!!!
But what can you do!!!!!
