Taking it to the dealership this morning to get an estimate. It's only a car....blah blah blah, but can't a guy have something nice for a few months?
It must be something about Space Gray. It doesn't attract dirt, only other cars! I did the same thing on Friday. My wife parked a rental car behind and to the side of me. I jumped in the car, looking in the opposite mirror. I didn't even think of another car behind me and crunch! Damage is only a couple of little nicks, but it feels like the car is totaled. Good thing I have a good bumper guy.
