backed my *** into the mountain

soo i was up for a drive at azusa canyon last night. i parked somewhere on the shoulder to have a smoke, finished and then i put my car on reverse... obviously the shoulder is pitch black so i reverse only looking at my camera. (next time i won't ignore the look around before you backup note) and then BAM! I hit something without even seeing it. a mound of dirty and my exhaust imprint still on it. I hit the mound of dirt and scruffed my left side of the rear bumper plus it also shoved alot of dirt into the left exhaust outlet. i had to gas it a bit to get the dirt out. the scuffs on the bumper but its not noticeable. The only thing is... my Bent left exhaust that slightly aims down like an old man *****. Its not very noticeable but i have some sort of ocd where everything has to be EVEN or Lined up. Or My life is ruined. heres a pic... sorry crackberry upload

I've had my eye on Invidia as well but haven't heard much from the people that have bought them for the G37s. People with G35s and 350z's seem to be happy with Invidia exhausts, but that's about all I've heard.

aftermarket exhaust ftw!

and someone rear ended my moms x5 and she got that fixed at a bodyshop. a week later, she reversed into a garbage dump and the back of the car was even worse than her car accident, lol.
