Unlucky Anderson

This is the second time the car gets dinged in Anderson. This time it's not the firebird but the beamer. Not at the movie theaters but at Sam's Club. An older gentleman, a retiree (to put it mildly; I have other terms but will refrain from using them) backed up in to the passenger side front quarter panel. We were just leaving, backed up from our parking stall into the lane, when this guy backs up his Ford Explorer pickup right into the beamer. They were in a hurry, trying to get back to their church for some kind of Easter egg hunt thing. He told us he had only looked right and didn't see us in the lane before backing up. Well, maybe a minor thing, but we had to wait for the cops to show up to write up the report. Unfortunately, he managed to bang me right in the seam between the front quarter panel and the front panel, possibly knicking the wheel. Now the gap between the panel and hood on the passenger's side and the driver's side differs, and the steering seems a bit off (alignment?). Hopefully they'll fix it back to it's three-month old shape. What a bummer! And just two days before heading down to Savannah...sheesh...
