Wardrobe Malfunction

Once again, my car got rear-ended. This is second time I will have replaced my bumper.

I happened to be a at red light for a minute and the lady behind me ran into me. She claimed that her sandals slipped off of the brake and then on the gas. They were pretty thick sandals. That is why I think it was a wardrobe malfunction. She was nice about it and no hard feelings.

Her mother works at Jeff Wyler’s body shop and she suggested them again to me. They put on the last bumper and did not do a very good paint match (see photo to the left). Everyone thinks I am crazy and reminds me that I am color blind. I really don’t think I’ll go back there. I am almost tempted to go to an actual Toyota dealership. Maybe, they will get the color right.

My previous accident, in contrast, happened on the expressway going 65 MPH in rush hour traffic. A lady ram another guy’s car into my bumper. That was a little more dramatic. The lady claimed that her car was pushed, as well, and she was a victim. It was pretty obvious what actually happened with the 3 cars by examining the damage. Mine in the rear, her’s in the front, and the other man’s car with damage to both bumper. She started to argue with the highway patrol officer. In fact, she called up her mother to come help her argue her case. Regardless, her insurance company paid for my new mismatched bumper.
