Ouch man that sucks, I am sure the repair will have it back to good as new!

If you had hit the brakes rather than the clutch would you have saved her just in time without a scratch?

Yeah I think I could've stopped the car in time. I felt like James Bond while jumping into the car and thought I was going to pull it off. Too bad I chose the wrong pedal.

Haha funny you say that since that's where the dealer recommended. It's sitting in their lot right now, getting an estimate tomorrow. I've heard good things online about them as well. Why did you have to take your car there?

Took it there when a tard sideswiped me on the 60E a while back.

Met the deadlines they promised and the other guy's insurance took care of the cost. No problems.

Ouch! Damn that looks nasty! Sorry to hear about that. I had a similar issue with my 6MT where I was parked at gas station and was walking inthe door and turned to admire my car as I usually do and saw it rolling backwards toward a busy intersection... for like a second I was like WTF is wrong with this picture... then I ran unlocked and jumped in the car like you did but I hit the brakes and stopped about 5 feet from the road. I learned my lesson to put it in gear all the time regardless.

LOL! "pulled a James Bond . . . "

good luck with the repairs.

This would've never happened if you had lambo doors.
