Backing out of a driveway that I don’t really know, at night, I scraped my rear fender on a brick flower pot structure.
My car is a lease.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Truth be told, going in I thought it might be difficult. So as I was going out I went slow and I thought I had it, but I had not realized that fucking brick flower pot was there.
What the fuck?! I just forgot to use the side mirrors?
Now I’m just angry and it’s hard to be present.
I have to be careful not to let this get to me long term. I can do that easily.
š¦ that sucks bad! sorry to hear that.

My Dearest Rex, I too have had a recent similar experience. My husband has taken great care in keeping my car straight and clean. I try to park away from those who throw open their doors without a care, as it hits the vehicle next to them. In San Francisco I was parked in a tight lot gabbing happily with my people inside. As we sat talking, someone un-hitched a flat bed trailer directly behind me impossible to see. When it was time to leave I backed up and punched a hole through my back, shiny, fiber glass bumper. Obviously, the trailer was fine what damage could be done to the hulking monster with sharp corners meant to destroy beautiful things. I was so upset I just drove away. No words. The destruction was done. My gorgeous vehicle now horribly blemished. I appreciate your comments, words I choose not to say, but feel none the less. You are among friends, my friend. My unshed tears now unfortunately yours. But we must carry on. š¦ ā¤ = š

Thanks Sunshine. I got a look at the damage today. A little larger of a scrape than what I thought. Still mad at myself. We’ll see.

That sucks. My car’s rear end has had many encounters with mailboxes, columns, other vehicles, trees… The backup camera has helped, if that says anything! Good luck!

You didn’t hurt yourself, all the rest can be fixed. š
I hope you are not longer mad at yourself.

That’ll really wear off once I address it with Nissan

Breathe deep. There are people who can fix this kind of thing. The following is a link to a friend of mine in Syracuse. There’s got to be a guy like him where you live. Honest and more reasonable than a car dealer, for sure.

But it’s a lease, I can’t bring it to a non-dealer, no?

I think you can fix it any way you want before you bring it in at the end of the lease.
