Default My TT was hit yesterday leaving work...Yes, my BABY!

Yes!...A man hit me from behind yesterday evening as I was stopped at a stop sign leaving work.

Oh, let me first say, I've only had the car for 7 weeks, it's a 2002 Moro Blue, Blue top, Aviator Grey interior, 180HP Roadster. Now back to the story...

I had just released my foot off the brake to push down on the gas and BUMP! My car is pushed out into the middle of the street. I thought to myself...SELF...you didn't just release your foot off the clutch? So why did I just jerk out into the middle of the road. I then realize...I'VE BEEN HIT!! ****! I get out of the car and the man started talkin about "Oh, it doesn't look bad"... I wanted to B**CH SLAP his A** for talking such crap to me. Anyway, it really wasn't that bad, BUT his insurance is gonna FIX IT...he chipped part of the rear bumber, and scraped the paint all down near the bottom. Luckily, his car (older Honda Accord) had a bra on the front, so I believe that buffered the impact. I couldn't believe it when the incident went down. Oh well, they're going to fix it, and provide me a rental car too. Oh, and the rental car would want not to be no d*m Ford Focus or some other itty bitty cheap car...I at least need something with ABS/Traction Control and electronic windows. I'm way past rollin down windows and sh*t, and slidin on ice without a backup system. lol

Default Be careful, just because it's Audi's body shop doesn't mean it's any good.I'd check with the BBB 1st

for their complaint record.
