Default Don't you just love younger sisters?

This weekend I went to Wisconsin, to visit dear old Dad. After parking in his driveway, we left to go have lunch. However, before leaving I reminded my younger sister that I parked behind her, but left plenty of room for her to get out. I even went as far as to ask if she wanted me to move..."No Adam, it's not like I can't drive."

Not more than 45 min. later my cell rings and I answer it only to hear some whinny, whimpering noises that almost sounds like English. After calming her down, she tells me how she got in her Jeep and started to write something down. Then, without thinking, put the car in reverse and backed up and onto my car. The damage could have been worse, though an estimate came to $2,300.

Now I am pretty sure the center of a target is usually red but I feel like, as of recently, it has been Ming Blue. After 3 months of owning this car, I have been hit twice, the first two times ever, neither my fault.

Oh well, I guess it's repairable and now I can have my RS6 spoiler and 4.2 door pieces painted for cheap.

Thanks for listening, I'm done with my rant.

Just be glad "stupid" is apparently a recessive gene in your family!

HAHA, the bumper just needs new paint, it's the hood and grill that are toast.

Hood and grille? Sounds like a S6 grille and CF hood are in order!

are there CF hoods for the A6's? the 4.2 is longer so there'd need to be a specific 4.2/S6/RS6 hood.

Default Bummer. I have had several different people "bump" into my rear bumper.

This most recently happened when some idiot in an SUV pulled up into my parking space, and hit my bumper, again. Now the bumper has at least 3 seperate spots that have to be "fixed". Can these bumpers be refinished or is mine simply "finished"
