[Spridgets] Parking lot woes...

[David Booker]

Ryan,
First of all, be thankful you are not in New York. You would have just
come out 
to the car  to find it smashed. I have seen it happen here more than
once. Was 
able to get a tag number once and left it on a note on the smashed
car's 
windshield. As for the previous advice - it all seems good. Get all the
work 
done at once & pay the difference out of pocket for the rust repair.
Also be 
prepared for the insurance company to tell you the car is worth
nothing and try 
to give you a portion of that value to fix it.

woes...

So I was running some errands this afternoon in the midget. Stopped
off at 
staples, I am in their 2 minutes or less when over the PA "will the
driver of an 
MG midget please come to the front" CRAP! 

so some dumb A$$ in
a pick up rather than backing out of the space and then 
turning tries to do
it all and whacks the rear driver side quarter panel after 
smacking my mirror
into the open window. Its not that bad but i have a hand size 
dent and gouges
the length of the panel down to the metal. I know i needed some 
rust bubble
repair at the bottom of the panel so now i am confliced get the 
scratches and
dents fixed by the guys insurance company and then get the metal 
work done
and then have it all resprayed or just ask the guy for money to cover 
the
respray and find a good local shop that will do a good job on the metal 
work?
advice? 
recomendations? 
thanks 
ryan
