RE: Bad weekend
GPD, applebee's didn't have any cameras in the parking lot? Sorry to hear about the misforture, hope you know a paint guy that can redo the front end. Or poke around ebay, I found some stock painted pieces on there a bit ago.
My only tip is the most remote corner possible. If your passengers complain they don't have to ride home with you
That, or I double park, a 15$ parking ticket and a 41 cent stamp is a heck of a lot cheaper than a 500$ deductable. It's just when you forget about them that they get really expensive, lmao!

RE: Bad weekend
Hope everyone is OK regarding your daughters mishap.
I know the sinking feeling in your stomach when you see your car damaged by some A-hole that probably shouldn't even have a licence. They were probably driving some piece of crap in which they take no pride, and don't give a damn for anyone else's property. I hate leaving my car in any parking lot, they make the spots so small, they think everyone drives a damn Yaris or something.Even if you park way back in the boonies, some jerk will invariably park beside you.
Keep the faith GPD, a good body shop will have her looking like new, and hopefully you will forget the experience.

RE: Bad weekend
Yikes. Sorry to hear about both things happening. That Escort looks bad. Reminds me when I rolled my 86 Grand Prix in December. Ten miles north of Redding, CA I fishtailed across both lanes of I-5 South, went over to the shoulder, hit a tree stump, flipped onto the roof and skidded 30 feet down into a ravine. I walked away with a headache, cut on my thumb and sore arm.

RE: Bad weekend
I'm surprised the Escort held up so good....I was expecting alot more damage. I hope your daughter is well.
Sorry to hear about the mishap with your Monte too. I know I'd be missed and looking for blood if someone did that to mine.
