driving to the underground parking lot of my gym, i somehow kissed a pole with the side of my car. 400 dollars to fix the scrape. I was about to spend that money on something else for my car. I pass that poll EVERY DAY and today somehow, i scraped it. I don;t pay attention for 5 seconds and it costs me 400 dollars.

Cut the pole down in the dead of night.

i would like to, it's part of the parking garage tho, might be conspicous. I just hate that it's 100 percent my fault that that money will be going to something so stupid. At least I know the bodyshop will do a good job.

Yeh that sucks. At least your man enough to admit it was no ones fault but your own, most people can't. Hope the repair goes smooth.

Sorry to hear about that dude, but I can't say much, a kid at my school totaled my 94 in the senior parking lot... ten days after my 17th birthday. Sucked bad. But at least I'm alive.

Your 400 dollars isn't terrible, although the kids insurance company paid for my car in addition to an Infinity FX35 and a brand new (literally) 2006 GTO, it only gave me 3500 for my old Mark, so I took another three out of my own pocket and bought my '97. Just be grateful that you are alright... which is the main thing.
