Default Monte's First Fight

So I've been driving my car over here in England for 2 years now, and if any of you have ever been, you know that the roads just aren't meant for big cars, and not once have I ever come close to being in an accident. I'm moving back to the states in July and shipping the car out tomorrow, so last day driving it was today and whadya know...I get hit.....luckily the small british car was no match for my big american beast, as they call it over here, and I drove away with minimal damage...and having USAA pick up the bill..hello new bumper!

Sorry to hear about the damage, that is a crying shame. My parents have been to England and I have heard the stories of how narrow the roads are

That sucks, but luckily the damage is minimal. Heck, that bumper cover looks like it might not need replacing (not creases, nothing went all the way through). But, I hope you get a genuine replacement (rather then fix that one).

Best of luck and happy/safe travels back to the States!

So far everything is smooth sailing, made the claim with USAA, they're gonna take a look at it and repair it once I get to Virginia. I took it and got it detailed for the ship yesterday and most of it was able to get buffed but the wheel well is down to the metal, and a bit dented, and the bumper cover is just scratched up...I definitely got lucky but it still sucks ya know
