Several times. Mostly small damage but this one time....

After dinner and a movie I had taken the girl home and we were on the couch trying to get to 2nd base. I had parked my Capri in front of her house on the wrong side of the side street so the car was facing into traffic.

We hear this huge collision in front of her house so we both jump up and run oitside and see this Monte Carlo with it's entire front end smashed all to hell and steam boiling out of the radiator.

The driver, mid 20's, is just climbing out of the drivers window because the door wouldn't open and staggers to rhe curb and sits down.

I approach the guy and asked him what the hell he had hit. "That car!" as he points to my Capri. I walk over to the Capri and don't see much damage but it does look like the bumper was slightly tweaked. Then I notice it was about 20' from where I had parketd it,

Cops showed up and he passed the drunk tests. He told the cops he had just left the dirt track races at the Lawton Speedway.

Apparently the bumper of the Capri road up over the Momte pumper and proceeded to reek havoc.

They totaled the Monte while I drove home. His insurance paid for my new bumper and one piece of aheet metsl under the bumper.

Sad part was I never made it back to 1st base.
