I hit my mail box

Feel pretty stupid but I hit my mail box and caused a few scratches. Off to the body shop I guess.

 

It adds character

 

I would agree, but have only had a month or so. Wasn't ready for this type character yet.

 

yikes! I hit my mailbox too. Not as much damage as you though. More shame than anything.

 

95% of that will buff out

 

Already buffed out what I could. The local Toyota body shop estimated $1981 to repair.

 

ouch, what all is left. the big gouge in it?

 

There is a deep gouge in the fender flare, and a coupe scratched actually indented. Can't really see by the pics.

 

dang what a price for hitting a mailbox

 

At FLOW? try to get a quote from some independent shops too...does FLOW have a collision center or do they outsource?

 

I'am safe i have to walk 'bout 30 yrds up my dirt road to my mail box ! but the paper box might get some action!! time will tell.

 

Yep, Flow. Will do, just wanted a high estimate to begin with incase I went the insurance route. Flow does have a collision center that been there for years, it used to be Toyota West.

 

I did the same thing... I'll post the pic when I can find it

 

hows the mailbox?

 

this reminds me of my older brother backing into our step dads truck with a four wheeler. Left a gash similar

 

The wood post broke. But was able to nail it back together.

 

Yep, the same way.

 

my mail box just looked at me like a boss, barely bent the metal. it was not a very positive day for me...

 

I'm just going to start walking my lazy ass to the mailbox to keep it from happening again.
