Well in the spirit of bumping and banging at Bristol, someone bumped me in the Mustang in Raleigh today.
I was at an intersection starting to pull out and the guy behind me thought I was going, but I ahd to stop for another car coming at me and I got rear ended at about 5-10 mph. His license plate frame left a lot of marks on the back bumper and put about a dime sized "stamp" in it, taking a small section of paint out. I was pretty calm about it, not happy, but calm. A cop came by and said if an accident report was taken the VIN's would be reported... dont' want that on a Carfax!! The guy gave me cash on the spot that he and I agreed on... aftewords I was actually able to buff most of the black mess off ( I knew I would be able to by the look of the marks, and noticing no white paint on his car), and bought a $16 paint pen at the parts store to feather in the spot that was missing. Not happy, but I can live with it at least.
Then I buffed it all out and re-clay barred it...

Sorry about the car Duane, but it looks pretty good. I'm always worried about the Fusion cuz its that "White Platinum Tri-Coat" that is impossible to blend and tough to color match. The wife already screwed up a rocker and it will be repainted blue instead.
Pyle's in trouble and I've never had so much invested in him. I picked him here, at Nascar.com Fantasy and in a money pool I'm in. And I wearing my lucky #18 JGR Interstate Battery hat. Looks like it's still got it's magic!

Brent, speaking of superstition, did you read waht I said about the 26 and 98, and how I thought it related to Johnson switching back to a blue car?
and you remember what happened last time you bought me an #11 car?

It won't work again. It only works the first time I buy you a car. I got the wrong one

Looks like Keith (Blazed SS, Evan (SSmeansSuperSexy), and Keane (Leprechaun93) are going to be battling it out for this one... only people that don't have Busch or Goonyer.
