  That's true.  It just didn't look as good as before.
  I've been in a few accidents over the years, being the hittee not the
hitter.
  One time in college after a rain another student was giving me a ride to
my car and joked he was going to hit it.  Now I hard parked in a new lot,
which was mostly grass and mud.
  His Bug slid and did hit my passenger door.  It only caved in the door of
my Falcon and I was able to pop that out later with a rubber hammer and no
lasting damage.  
  He was so apologetic over that, wanting to pay the repair bill, etc.   
  Plus there were several times when delivering produce the vans where hit
when another driver ran a red light, rear-ended, etc.  
  Never been in a serious accident, thankfully.
