Had a wonderful day today!!! driving down a dirt road happily minding my own buisness when my exhaust decided to fall off! so much for dads custom mounting brackets! 'It'll hold' he says. So I ripped the whole thing off and put it through the boot and into the cabin, makes a good arm rest 'when cooled down of course.' Got a few looks from those family sedan drivers, 'commodore wankers' I found out they hate there cars reffered to as a family sedan, but thats what they were built for!
Anyway after dad fixed up his dodgy job I decided to back into a tree, go on laugh, my friends did :oops:
It was hidden from the rear windscreen and I didn't check my mirrors. Anyway, totalled the right hand side of my perfect chrome bumper and dented around the brake light cover, didnt smash or crack the plastic cover though!!!! bonus. The body work shouldn't be to hard to knock out but im a little worried bout the bumper, anyone know any places in Adelaide that could straighten it out or do i have to buy a new one?? Will keep you guys posted on the repairs.

Don't fell so bad, my father il-law back his mini off the trailer & straight into a tree, very amusing for the gathered crowd too. Hey crap happens.
