Oops. This is why you don't drive angry.

Long story short, I was SUPER pissed (family issues), hopped in my car, drove really fast in reverse , and completely forgot about the car trailer that was parked in the driveway about 20' behind my car.

Yep, sortof. I'm going to purchase a new front fender, and new doors (new used). I'll prime them with flat black primer before installing. The rear fender i will hammer out/body fill etc.. When i decide to paint it, i may do the entire car.

That sucks, dude. I really admired your car. Then again, i know exactly what you're going thru.. i've done that shit fighting with my mom, as well. Makes you look like more of an ass, even if your parents are wrong. damn families.
That's why i left mine.. to save my car.
good luck bro, i'll drink to you

The odds are stacked against me - I only drive angry. But then, I'm a Masshole and that's how we all drive.
Bummer about the car. I did the same thing once but luckily just took out the taillight on a plow. I was more embarrassed than pissed.

Damn.
You're lucky that it was isolated (for the most part) to replacable body panels. Is that a rare color? Did you find a donor that was the same color? I thought your car was green and had some sort of rims...?

I am damn lucky (though it still sucks bawlz).
I don't think it's a rare color at all for L's.
The donor car is a white 92 wagon. My car is greenish, but subaru calls it Teal. Its certainly the darkest teal i've ever seen.
Currently i have my stock wheels on, as i'm waiting to get new tires for my Rotas.

SUCK!
I did that before.
I once backed my Ford E-150 into my Dodge Omni and busted the shit out of it! The van was not too bad off, but that Omni was never the same.
The rear bumper of the van lined up perfectly with the headlights blinkers, grill, and hood of that POS Dodge.
Just the other day I came about 4 inches from backing into my wife's SS with my Touring wagon I just got.
A last second moment of clarity allowed me to instinctively slam the brakes before I even looked behind me.

The black bumper on my Legacy right now serves as a reminder of a wreck I had a year and a half ago
Search my name under "drifting" and you'll find a thread of where I was pissed off about something and lost control in the rain and side-swiped a parked car with my front bumper. Replaced the bumper with a new one last summer, got the bumper new from the dealer and had a guy here at my job paint it for $75 under the table. Now all the paint has flaked off the bumper and my car looks half like a Standard
