Got Hit in the parking lot. Poor car (pics)

I was parked in a Wal-mark parking lot and I get called over the PA "Will the owner of a yellow pontiac pursuit please come to customer service" She was a older lady driving a 2006 Acura RSX. She said she meant to hit the breaks and she hit the gas. Then proceeded to push my car 4 Feet.

Kind of amazed at how little damage was actually done to the car after being pushed for 4 feet. Sorry to hear regardless though. Had my old truck taken down in a parking lot.

that is why old ppl shouldnt drive, or should be retested at least. i'm not saying all old ppl cant drive, but you see or hear about it all the time, they meant to hit the brakes and hit the gas, or they thought they were in reverse not drive.

sorry about your car, thankfully the damage isnt too bad. i like the pursuit/G5 in yellow.

Ouch! I'd be really pissed off if that had happaned to me. That's why a never get too close to the entrance cuz everybody wants to park there and most of them are old grannies. I try to park as far as possible but I now have to worry about damn shopping carts, so I always park next to a curb.

holy crap! She must of been really stomped the gas. Sorry to hear about this but atleast it's fixable. Had an old man driving an Aztec take out my front bumper the 2nd day I had my car, in a wal-mart parking lot, dangerous spots.

Nice Silver Vue RL next to your car. At least you'll get a new bumper out of it.

I call BS. RSX's don't have enough torque to do that.

J/K, I hope you get it fixed soon and as good as new. Sorry to hear that happened, what a PITA.

Ouch! Good thing the damage is only minor from how the pictures look. I almost got hit coming home from my class just a half hour ago. Darn trail blazer decided as I was passing him that he wanted to get in the passing lane... I came real close to needing a new paint job on my car. I wish idiots weren't allowed to drive, I've already been hit by two of them when I had my truck.
