Got hit twice in two days!

I can't believe it...I got crashed into twice in two days! The day before yesterday, I'm driving home...traffic...someone up ahead slams on their brakes. The Z28 in front of me slams on his brakes, he hits the car in front of him, I slam on my brakes but am able to stop with inches to spare. BUT...the guy behind me rearends me and I go flying into the Z28! All in all it was a four car pileup. So...a little paint chips off the rear bumper...some scratches on the nose...no big deal...I was in no hurry to get it fixed.

But then last night, in a parking lot...my idiot friend wasn't watching where he was going and backs up into me! Paint chipped off everywhere all over the front bumper and headlight cave.

I'm not worried about the rear bumper, but me and my other friend are gonna pull off the front, strip it down, and repaint it. Not that big of a deal, but how 'bout some bad luck!!!?? I'm suprised how well she held up, though.

That sucks, that's why I wouldn't invest a lot of money into a daily driver's paint job.

Here's a pic of the front. I won't bother posting a pic of the rear because it's barely noticeable. The front was even less noticeable until last night of course...

Yeah its not that bad.. coulda been way worse. But still, it would have been a whole lot better if neither had happened. I notice you're from Naperville.. are you going to Denny's (LFN AT U)thirdgen gathering May 25th in Crete? Check the Chicago Suburbs board for more info.
