What happened?
That does look mendable though, get him fixed up good as new.

Alright, alright, I'll talk. I was coming out of a parking lot and a person on a bicycle decided to use my Mini as a brake. Fortunately he was not hurt. The bike tire hit the side of my car by the front tire, the rear wheel of the bike went up in the air and the handlebar came down on my hood. It was very surreal and freaky. I've got a appointment at the body shop on friday, and I'll have it back next week. I'll be out $430., but such is life, could have been much worse!!

You mean so you could hurt him yourself? JK, glad no one was hurt.

By the way, the MINI may be small, but I think we still have to yield to the pedal pushers.

Yeah, if they're in a traffic lane and moving with the flow of traffic.

I have one of those in almost the same spot. My blue healer decided she wanted to stand on the MINI. What she didn't realize was that two coats of Klasse and 3 coats of wax are really slick!

True! They're treated the same as cars, so if he was riding on the sidewalk he would have had to pay for your beautiful hood!

When I first saw it I thought you tried to do a "Hood slide" and a button or something on your jeans scratched it
