Too many...
My xbox had the RROD about 2 years ago, I couldn't live without one so I bought the halo edition. It's been great since then(knock on wood). My friends elite 360 gave the RROD the the night he put in modern warfare 2 in, which we had been waiting for at the midnight release....he went to the COD:MW2 360 version.

Well, if it's any consolation, you're not the only miserable person in this world.

7 days before Christmas, I pull into the parking lot at work this morning, angle into a space and brush up against a snow boulder.

This made a crack in my bumper and a gash in the paint that is almost guaranteed to require a new bumper cover ($500+, I'm sure). I didn't even see the remnants sitting at the edges of this parking space until I hit them.

The car is 2 years old and didn't have so much as a scratch on it up until now.

Dude, that really sucks. Sorry to hear about that. When are you going to get it fixed?

Thanks. I have no idea, I figure I'll get a quote the next time I have to take it in for my maintenance.

Good luck, if repairpal.com had estimates for body repair, you would be able to find out how much it (should) would cost you.

Whenever I want to destroy a new rig, I just install Windows on it.

Sooper Fast!
I think I backed into some one's car yesterday; I'm not sure. It's ok though because:

1.) I'm not fond of that person.
2.) I'm in WV where we got a ton of snow.
3.) I can carely back out of my spot without hitting people parked in the firelane behind me when there is no snow because of the turning radius of my Pathfinder and the tiny parking lot.
4.) She was parked in the firelane.

There's nothing wrong with my car, but there's a dent in her fender above her tire, so I'm not sure if it was me or not.

I believe it's illegal to park your car in the fire lane.

Unless you can make out the tire tracks in the snow, there is no proof you did anything.

So yes everything is okay ;D

Dunno. I'm thinking it was from a previous accident, just happened to be in the same spot that my bumper was going to end up.
