My "toy" is a 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1, Dark Shadow Grey. The Mach was brought back by Team Mustang for the 2003 and 2004 production years and they were limited runs each time. In that respect, they are somewhat rare and it seems that every day there are less of them on the road due to collisions, etc.
Today it's exceptionally pretty outside in Nashville -- crystal clear skies, temperatures in the low 70's -- so I decided that my wife and I would take the Mach to work and leave the daily drivers at home. It's a perfect day for it.
Unfortunately however while parking at lunch in a very crowded lot between two buildings, I managed to scrape the paint off the front bumper.
As best as I can figure, the front wheel had come to rest teetering on the edge of a drain culvert when we parked, and as soon as I let my foot off of the foot-brake and went to pull the parking brake handle, the wheel rolled forward into the culvert and the nose of the car banged into a cinder block wall on the other side.
Now I have an approximately 6-inch square section of bumper where the paint is torn and tattered.
I was hoping to take both the front and rear bumpers off of the car soon and have them repainted to address various rock chips and scuffs that the car has accumulated over the past three years, but this just accelerates my plan I guess.
