Light pole 1, Redog 0
Yeah yeah yeah.
I was backing into a parking spot at work and the car stopped, I thought I hit the curb, only to open the door and see the curb about 4 feet from the car 
I bumped a concrete light pole and I bumped it on a bit of an angle so the car didn't stop right away (going probably 1 MPH or less)
Anyway here are pics. I'm going to get it fixed, just want an idea of cost.
A few light scratches and more than a few deep gashes.

It'll buff out. It could have ended up worse. You could have really nailed it and put a dent or broke your bumper.  At least you don't have a hole in yours and paint chipping off next to it like I do. lol |

at least you weren't like this lady at walmart that ran straight into a pole with nothing else around her or the pole... I'm pretty sure she was trying to turn into the lane, but was off by about 6 feet.  |

HA HA HA that's good.
I saw a lady one time backing up her car and there was an island between her car and the next lane over. (I think it was a "G" body Buick) and she got it in and then floored it in reverse.
The car went over the island and up the hood until the rear wheel got stuck in the windshield of a BRAND NEW Chrysler Concord. The scariest part was, there was somebody in the Concord at the time.
BTW the Concord was totalled. The top of the engine was FUBAR'ed

Doesn't look to bad. Still sucks, but it could have been worse.
