    Welp, this weekend was a fun one. I decided to brave the mall to see a movie, it was sold out. On the way out of the parking deck I took some weird turn that looped back into the structure, was going along (trying to get to the exit at the opposite end) when I saw this gray blur in front of the car. I slammed on the brake pedal but it was just too late. I had the fun of watching the headlight pattern on the opposing car get closer and closer.. then BUMP. The rear of her car kind of slid away a foot.

    I am totally shocked that there was no damage at all to my car, the license plate traded ink and got banged up pretty good, but my front bumper retained its shape, no new scratches.... That little pop out panel on the left seems a bit ragged but I think it was already like that.

    Anywho here are some images:

    Since the repairs will likely be over 700 bucks Ill have a nice little hike in insurance (for this and a couple speeding tickets). YAY.

    I hate the mall.

    nono those actually come with the "sport package" (zhp).

    They are SO FUN to clean, I need a better wheel brush.

    Tysons Corners? I lived in Oakton back 15 years ago and hated it then, I can't imagine how bad it is now.

    Yeah it's Tyson's corner. The place is a mad house.

    Alive, check. No injuries to anyone, check. I am glad about that.
