Got run into is what I did with mine today!
Fortunately it was crawl speed and no apparent damage after a thorough examination, but I was actually on my way home from the doctor who amongst other things had taken my blood pressure and been happy with it. Lucky he wasn't there to take it after the bump.
I was stopped at some lights and in the mirror I see the Polo behind me starting to creep forward with the driver taking a close interest in her lap or phone or something, so much interest that doing that simultaneous with keeping sufficient pressure on the brake pedal was too much to expect. So I watched it happen in slow motion in the mirror, got on the horn after a bit but this only annoyed the guy in front of me who thought I was encouraging him to run a red and made no difference to the forward progress of this little VW. Bang! Why does it always sound and feel like it's been stove in to the back seat even with a little tap?
For you Melbournites, this was in Springvale Road, Glen Waverley, a major 3 lane arterial road, not the sort of place you want to be getting out of the car in the middle lane. But I did. Once I got her to back up a bit I'm on my back on the hot road checking out the rear and underneath of the 66. Eventually concluded she'd done no damage. The tip of one of my exhausts coming through the GT valance had cut a neat crescent shape in her number plate which absorbed most of the energy and then her plastic bumper nudged up to my chrome one and absorbed the rest. On my bench I have new GT trumpets to go on in place of what I have now and only on the weekend decided to get an exhaust place to do it rather than tackle it myself. Otherwise they would have been on the car and may have been damaged.
While she was suitably apologetic and took responsibility, she clearly didn't understand why I was behaving like she's murdered my children. I guess she thought it was just a car.
