Crashed my Marauder!!!!!
Nobody freak. It happened over the weekend. It was parked and was a hit-and-run. The damage is $4700 and both headlights were broken, one side marker was destroyed and the other was cracked. The fender needs replaced as does the header panel. Insurance looks at it Wednesday but I have already been chasing down and buying parts. Front bumper is obsolete but the planets aligned and I got a new OE one on eBay for $765 +shipping. I bought that and got it enroute so it won't hold up the paint. The car is driveable and I am a little upset but what can I do. I love the car but it will be fine. The damage is only high because of replacement parts cost. They're going to blend onto the hood and driver door so I am stripping everything that would generally be masked. Door handle, keypad, mirror, weather stripping... To absorb almost all of the deductible I am doing the complete re-assembly at my house after the car is out of paint and ready to be put together. This is easier to stomach than I expected!

Man, I'm glad you can be calm about it, I would go through the roof. That absolutely sucks, it was probably a drunk

Anger is a wasted emotion and will gain me nothing! It is what it is. Nothing in the world will change what happened. It will be fine - I still have it and that's all that counts! She will be fixed like new.

Sorry to hear about this. It would make me sick but like you say, at least it was not worse. I am glad you located that bumper. Stars were shining on you.

Remove and Installation pricing is rediculous. I recently saved 1000.00 by stripping down and reinstalling the parts on my wifes SCREW from a recent hit and run. Go for it and pocket the cash!

Sorry to see this, but glad no one was hurt except for the car. Seems like it won't take long for it to be back on the road with all the prep work you are doing. Good luck with the fix.

I have already had the front off this when I did my tranny cooler, HID's and all the other goodies. It has to be painted while apart anyway so I will put it together to reinstall all my goodies anyway. I like working on cars and get pleasure out of turning wrenches on my baby. Hopefully she will be back in my hands by the middle of next week and ready for the picnic by Friday. You can bet I will be there as long as nothing is back-ordered!

Sorry about your hit and run! I feel for you to say the least!
I hope she is as good as new again and I am glad you are managing to already get the parts for her.
