Neighbor just backed in to me as I slowly drove down our narrow dirt road to get home. As I go by they apparently needed to back out at that exact moment and use my drivers rear quarter panel as a bump stop. Acura MDX was the other vehicle involved. Driver admitted fault ("so sorry, I didn't see you") and mentioned she's had problems like this before with this vehicle as it is difficult for her to see out the back. Apparently it is also hard to hear a 454 big block with full length headers and Flowmaster 50 series truck mufflers idling by too. It's going to the shop early next week. Wish me luck.........

Good luck. I hope they get it fixed to your satisfaction.

Thanks Captianfab and DPowers, venting here and receiving words of encouragement help with the healing process. No one likes when their vintage rig gets hit and when I drive the Suburban I am constantly attempting to stay away from all the "distracted" drivers on the the road, never expected a neighbor 40 ft away to hit me. Stay safe out there!

Bummer! At least it was fairly minor! Good luck with the repairs.
