And this is why I can't daily drive my stang

And this is why I can't daily drive my stang-image-1142504855.jpg

Someone hit my daily driver and left no note, just realized this morning so it probably happened yesterday. Not sure exactly where it happened. I guess the good thing is that it wasn't the stang, I would have been extremely mad. It's frustrating because I want to drive the mustang more and sometimes think I made a bad decision getting another car payment until things like this happen.

I was at work and the gym. Unfortunately I think neither has one.

That's a sweet ride, I would do the same thing. What are the specs on that?

Thanks! It is all stock, ls1, A4, WS6. It is one of only 30 real pace car convertibles sent to Daytona in 1999. The actual pace cars had t-tops (I think there were 3 of them) but the convertibles were used to parade the drivers around before the races.

And,.....................this is mostly the reason why I don't drive my Mustang much. But when I do,.....I make sure it's pretty early in the morning or after dinner, when traffic is less.
Sorry about your car. Good luck!

this is one of my greatest fears, already found a bit of a rub mark on my rear bumper either from a car or shopping cart. Alas i can't afford a 2nd car to make it my DD.

My Pony is my DD, what's a car for if not to drive? Of course I am one of those annoying people who park very carefully. LOL! I have one scratch on my right rear quarter panel, it really posses me off but what can you do? I've had him a month and that small scratch is the only blemish so I'm happy. I love driving this car! Can't imagine just leaving him in the garage/driveway all the time.

That sux, hopefully it buffs out. I guess all we can do is our best to try and avoid getting dings like that but a lot of times it's out of our control.

I definitely see your point. It's frustrating because these cars are tons of fun but people around my work parking are careless and will brush against your car and scratch it, hit your door, .... Plus my commute sux, lots of stop and go. However when I do drive my stang, it puts a smile on my face everytime, especially on cold starts!

Thank you. Sounds like you have a great strategy in place!

I'm on my 2nd front bumper, and have had the left rear quarter panel fixed and repainted. These things happen with a daily driver, so just get it fixed and move on. Yeah it sucks, but that's life.

Totally agree. I don't want to be afraid to enjoy my belongings. If you love it, enjoy it.

That's true, hopefully your car won't be in the shop anymore and have better luck.
