Rick,

Don't worry it's just a car, albeit an S2000, if it can't be fixed, it can be replaced.

Unlike the wife/gf/fiance...they can't be fixed, but they can be replaced. . .albeit, you're only worth 50% of what you were before.

I guess, you're better off fixing the car. Next time when you done parking the car, either put bright orange cones, red flags, or a proximity sensor around your car. That way, the next time the S2K decides to jump in the path of your wife's moving vehicle, she will either see it or hear it.

Dude...just kill her. When I have my Ferrari down the line as my "toy" like you all have your S2000's...if my wife backed into it...I'd just kill her. There's no need for that kind of abuse an' trauma to all be directed towards something like an S2000.

It was a late summer day. I came home early to play with the kids (10 and 7), but she had not yet picked them up from school. She wasn't expecting me, so she had hogged the whole garage and I had to park in the driveway, which is the backing area for someone leaving the garage. I go inside, we talk for a few minutes, she says she's going to get the kids, I remind her that my car is behind her's so be careful backing up, she says ok, goes outside and process to hit "baby" in the ass with her van.

Rick, been there, done that.

Is the paint broken? If it's just a tiny dent it might be a candidate for paintless dent removal.

Muz, no, the paint is not damaged and I do think its a candidate for the paintless job.

Thanks, guys. Your humor has made me laugh and eased the pain.

I was visiting the local DMV a few years back in my del Sol. A girl who had just passed the driving test and writen test to get her license got in her car (with her mom) and proceeded to back her car into the side of my del Sol.

As punishment, you should request extra sex.

Been there, tried that

I got pulled over by a state cop for not having a front plate on my Eclipse. He didn't even give me a chance to explain, just told me he was writing me a ticket and went back to his cruiser and wrote up the ticket.

Then he came back and gave me the ticket and a written warning for 59 in a 55. After that, he apologized and said he doesn't normally pull people over for this type of stuff. Seems his boss was in the car and wanted to see him make a traffic stop.

I put the plate back on, took a picture to court, and had the case dismissed. But I had to take a morning off of work to go to court.

'course we still don't have a plate on the front of the S2K

You guys must be married to blondes, 'cause I have NEVER backed in to anything. I think that's enough woman bashing for now.

Rick:

Ufff....

But on the divorce topic... Forget it.

As we say in my country.... You can change devils, but it's the same hell.

Now equalization... that's fair game.
