Here I am, minding my own busines in my "if you can't be a rockstar" gold, 95 S14, in pretty heavy traffic. I noticed in my rearview mirror a small, tricked out Japanese car.... I think it was an early model Eclipse..... Dude has one of those tall spoilers on supports like it's a ****ing Superbird or something; yes, replete with those godawful decals I dislike so much.

Anyway, I'm just kinda bemusedly looking back (thinking I was once young) when coming to a stoplight, this ****weed rearends me (just shut up GDA240). I guess he deaccelearted to about 4mi per on contact.

****!!! I like, wanna get home and slam some hairspray... I'll probably have to kill him now...

We pull over only to find I have a beebee sized chip in my bumper, while Eclipseboy has a dangling headlight.... Dude, was a blubbering mass, and softie I am, I just clapped him on the back and laughed all the way home...

So, has anyone found touchup paint (not that crap in a bottle Nissan sales) in a spray can?

Try Dupli-color Auto Spray. I think i found it at a Wal-Mart. They had a very close color match for my car.

I have a gold 240 myself. Getting hit would suck. :(

Thanks for the advice, LTAKC.. I ordered some paint a couple years back from Nissan expecting a small spray can.... I really needed it (a spray)in that instance; first of my bumper scrapes (ended up going to a shop), but was appalled by the bottle. .. As if I could dab along a long scrape with it still being uniform; perhaps...

BTW, was reading your fax today and bought some Seafoam.

Stickgoat, great pics of an awesome automobile... Much like mine; but yours is cooler... I have a sunroof and other goodies, but am mired in a 4 bolt wheel, hubcap universe that really sucks....

ben just remeber if you happen to blow up and maybe hit the guy who smashed your car, the insurance company may find away to get out of paying, plus you could get a agravated assualt charge which will cost damn near the cost of fixing your car up!remember it was an accident and that you could have just as eailsy done it to someone else.... plus dont hurt the chances of raping an insurance company for thousands

raping indeed. when i got rear ended in my '88 F-150, it was considered totalled (but you should have seen the '02 lumina that the other guy was driving). my truck was still perfectly drivable. anyway, insurance gave me $3500 (full value) for the truck AND i got to keep it, and now my lawyer is demanding $17,500 from the guy's insurance to cover my "pain and suffering" cause i "had to" (wink, wink) go to physical therapy 3x a week for two months. i have to pay the lawyer a third, but that's still way more money than i would have made working. getting rear-ended and not seriously injured was the best thing that ever happened to me. the extra $3500 went a long ways towards my 240. :)

Sorry to get off topic, but was wondering if slw240sx is a big fan of Bad Religion, or just likes the avatar? Before I bought my 240sx (and the world came into perfect focus, LOL), I actually DID try the rock star thing (early 90's) and had the opportunity to hang with Bad Religion in LA... Did some recordings at Brett's studio. Really nice guys.

'Twas meant with only the fondest wishes, dude... Being as I'm kinda new around here and you were kind enough to post a response to my rearend clunking delimma.... I thought you would find some snide (and deservedly so) humor in this latest turn of rearend events. I'm sooo ready to move on...
