Angry The curse is still with us

So I'm out at a customer site getting ready to head back to my office. I'm on the phone with Bill from IoC. They have hydraulic ramps that go up and block the exit/entrance when no cars are present for security reasons. I'm about 2/3 over it when the security gaurd raises it!!! The damage could have been worse. I currently have bent-up exhaust and a cracked rear bumper. It is still drivable, but still; the thing is only 2months old. Needless to say they will be paying for the repairs.
I'll have to see if I can replace at least the exhaust with non-OEM stuff if it comes to the same price.

Pics to come.

sorry to hear that man, thats some fluke sh*t to have that happen at that very moment. make sure you ask for compensation from them regarding depreciation of value of the car due to the accident!

holy $h*t ....you can probably say it was the curse or just do the smart thing and blame the security guard and whoop his a$$ up and down the block.

Was he on drugs or Drunk while at work? How do you not notice a car still not clear of the ramp?

Damn, that's messed up given it was operately manually by a freakin guard. I'd take it to a pricey shop and have them give you a quote and put some goodies on your car.

it should be done by end of the month "knock on wood" i got the suplement done and its another 2 grand in damage under the hood, so now its more parts getting orderd. hopefully soon...i hate this damn focus...you talk about top end in the coupe....the damn foucus is nothing but top end...it takes 8 secs to go from 0 to 60..... , but its a lesson needed....learn to control your car better and never trust the other retard in the other car
