As the title reads... ha ha ha... was getting on the Moggill Ferry after work today and I was the last car to squeeze on, my work mate Josh was beside me and the ferry guy was signalling how much further up behind the F250 I could come. Anyways he kept motioning and he turned away to look at something on the River I guess... cos he wan't watching and I thought cos he kept motioning I had a bit more room to go (I wanted to get in tight, I didn't want to fall off into the Brisbane River, ha ha) and then Josh yells to me "HEY" but yeah, ran into the back of this huge F250. The Ferry man told the F250 driver that there was no damage to his car (of course there wasn't) but didn't tell me anything, just went and drove the ferry... so the F250 gives me the finger, cos none of us could get out we were jammed in. I kept thinking "what did this guy think I did it on purpose"? So for the next 6 minutes I sat there and eventually the got off the Ferry. I pulled over somewhere safer (away from the F250 guy) and my mate pulled over with me. We looked at my frotn bumper and again am amazed at the fact that it didn't do anything really. It has left some scuff marks above the number plate but didn't chip the paint and my Opel Grille was hanging (I have since reclipped it and reglued it). It was a hard hit to, cos I kind of took off and that is always kinda faster then slow driving and yeah, BANG. But what I wanna know is there anything I can do to hide the scuff marks? It's not that obvious, but.. yeah, I know it's there. I also have some scuffing on the side of the front bumper on one of those plastic strips where I hit a tree that had fallen in a storm. So with my collection of scuffings on the car, I wanna know what I can do to fix them (other than become a better driver). Normally something like this could almost bring me to tears, well not really, but certainly make me mad - but I just laughed it off. I just hope I don't see him on tomorrow's ferry. This will teach me for staying back a half hour later than 5pm.
