Dinged!

Nope, it's not the sound of someone ringing the doorbell.

Imagine this - a working day like every other working day, driving the same route, nothing out of the ordinary to note until suddenly - wham! A grandma on a motorbike rams onto the back end of your 7-month-old car. How would that feel? It hurt. It hurt real bad. Heart and pocket. Sigh... Victim of an innocent minor 'crash'...

Let the pictures do the talking:

Looked like someone 'signed' on the bumper

Another look at the scratch

"Unseen" damage... cracked bumper

Bent steel rod holding the bumper

A scratch when the car was 5 days old - Thought I'd put that in for 'fun'

In the end, the bumper was fixed... RM200 flew right out of the pocket and as much as the car looks like it used to, it does not really feel the same. It squeaks now and then. Sigh...

Sorry about your accident. You didn't tell me YOUR baby was in the hospital too. Same time as my baby, yeah? :<
