Compliments of the wife!

What do you guys think?
Do you guys like it as much as I do? :suspicio:

Actually all four panels AND a bumper skin.

Looks like the front quarter/fender needs to be replaced.
The front door will need to be replaced.
They may either repair or replace the rear door skin.
The edge in front of the rear wheel well will need to be repaired.
The rear bumper cover will need a little filler...
and the whole right side needs to be painted. :(

She told me she didn't like the new 2-tone look (especially the CF hood).
Wonder if she was trying to take it out of commission... :suspicio:

Irreconcilable differences... that's what I would file it under... :p

That sucks big time! Similar thing happened to my previous Pasast as well. Left it at a Best Buy parking lot and some idiot who couldn't back in/out of the spot next to me left a nice wider, deeper gash on my door panels. But it only was on the two door panels, not all four like yours.

Time to call in insurance, 'cuase I gurrantee you it will not be cheap. :sad:

As I said in This Post, remind your wife that you love her, are glad she didn't get hurt, and you'll probably have her automatic :thumbup: for future cosmetic mods! :lol:

well my girl backed my winter beater which she was driving at the time into my GTI two summers ago 2 day after i had it painted :cry: and ripped off the molding on the driver rear quarter, she ran inside and and woke me up (i was half hung over still caus it was the nigth after my prom) and she said with tears in her eyes that she crashed into my car, i ran upstairs and outside to check the damage only to come back laughing with the molding in my hands , it did no damage somehow ecept for taking it off the car (it was glued on and the glue had not totaly yet) so i got some glue and fixed it and no one has ever known till now!

moral of the story is shit happens you cant control it only deal with it.
at least your woman was not hurt. :thumbup:

Hey Powerslide,

The funny thing is she usually never drives my car. The Saab was due for maintenance service and the dealer is near my work so we traded for a day. About 10 mins after leaving the house... :roll:

Of course I was more concerned about her and anyone else involved but, one you know everyone was OK, the reality of my broken B5 was a painful sight. The wife is still a little shaken up and she was sure I was going to kill her but I am glad the B5 is the only thing that got hurt.

The Saab looks great though! :thumbup:

Damn, sorry bro, it's never fun, but everything will be forgotten after the :b5: is fix and the divorce is final.........errrrr, j/k of course. Glad the wife is ok and the car ..... well, even so we absolutly love our :b5: s, it is material and can be fixed, but it is never fun for sure. Good luck with the repairs, and she still looks great anyways, just look at the driver side for a while :lol: .....Later....Rah...... :b5: :thumbup: .
