Default Wife backed into the '92 with her Honda Accord

I parked sideways in the driveway/yard 10' behind my wife's car and unloaded a few bags of munchies from under the hatch. Mrs. even helped! So I know she knew where the car was when she got into her car later to leave. She almost missed it! Almost...
Although it was a glancing (not quite perpendicular) blow on my front right bumper and her right rear bumper, it shoved the front of my car about 10" in the gravel, and displaced the front bumper (nose) about a 1/2" toward the driver's side.
It crossed my mind to look for a new wife, but I'm just looking for a trustworthy bodyshop around Memphis, TN. She and the car are both keepers.
How do I post the pic?
tldr; looking for a great Corvette bodyshop in Memphis,TN area.

I feel for you!
Lucky My fiancée doesn't drive.
The vette should be fixed soon and all be forgotten.
The bonus is any stone chips will be gone on the new bumper !

I know what you said BUT I would think hard about telling her it wont be the same when fixed, what do you thing about getting a C5 or 6 after I get it reparied honey. Its worth a shot.

My ex burnt my 92 Vert. She drove it to her work so I could work on her vans brakes. Next thing I get a damn phone call that the Vette is on flames. There was nothing wrong with that car, the day before I was at the track doing 140 and all was fine.

She could not prove she didnt do it so, I bought Betty Boop and chose to become a bachelor.

It was a great Vette. Had 195,000 miles

Oh, boy, you should be able to get some mileage outta this one! I'm thinking a month's worth of your favourite dinners, sole posession of the TV remote for an extended period of time, maybe a couple of nights out with the boys and a whole lot of loving for having forgiven her for whacking your baby! ;-)

Sounds minor. Get it fixed and milk it for all you can get.

I feel your pain !!
Mine dragged her explorer down the side, from nose to mirror, after telling me to put it in the driveway because she didn't think it was safe on the street.

Did the "Wife Delete Mod" eh? Me too. I was just flat out told....."It's either me or that damned car". I sure do miss her. I think the brand new shiny set of Bilsteins for her birthday was the last straw. Women!!
