Default Ford v Mercedes

Well it wasn't much of a contest, and I sort of won.

Basically I was pulling out of one of those too small parking places they have at work, cut too close and snagged the bumper cover of a Mercedes.

Pulled it right off.

Sort of unbuttoned all the little plastic snaps that held it on. It made a sound like stepping on some of those shipping bubbles.

Each vehicle has a parking pass sticker with an employee ID number on it. Called the number up to my boss, who asked the computer, and found the owner works in the shop across the hall from me.

Nice guy. Not the way I like to meet people but still a nice guy. He and a buddy of his are going to try to put it back together.

Oh, damage to my truck? I wiped Mercedes paint off the rear fender with my thumb. There. Done.

But I'm not at a point in my life where I can afford to be sticking assorted parts back onto other peoples cars. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Wondering, literally, how much the damage will be.
