Tii spotted in Norcal

[Steve Tochi]

My buddy in Marin just sent me this photo of a Tii with the trunk lid open.  Looks like it may have just taken a hit, bummer.  Anyone's here?

[irshmerc]

Jeez, that sign is well placed if he had just taken a hit

I don't think a hit, looks like reflections.

 

I'm thinking a Christmas tree in the trunk ??  Or something or other ??

 

Cheers,

Looks like a dent to these old eyes.

My friend only said he got on the freeway with the trunk open.  Could be a reflection, plate and bumper look nice and straight.  Might be a reason to keep those big bumpers!

No point in having any bumper on a 02 other than looks, all the suv and pick ups (that seems to be all that sells now) bumpers will go right over them and not leave a scratch on the bumper

My money is on headlight reflections (really obvious on the emblem). Rear clip trunk line is straight, and license frame and lights are totally intact. 'Tis the season...

Who the hell knows, it's Marin. A whole other world over there and even further to the left than the rest of the state.

Looks dented to me.

What the hell does that have to do with a car being dented or not?

I checked with my friend who sent a couple of more pics.  He wasn't sure if it was hit or not. 

FWIW, he is a capitalist banker living in Marin. Owns a plethora of guns, gas guzzling SUV, loves hunting, scotch, chicken fried steak, motorcycles, guitars and muscle cars.  And he pushed old ladies out of the way to get his booster shot.  Sounds like we need to get him on board with 2002s.

Hey Steve,  sounds like our mutual friend… the fact he took a picture of an 02 means that there is hope for him yet. ?

Did I describe Dan correctly?  There is no chance unless there's a V8 in it.

That second picture sure looks dented, but I'm still thinking "not dented."  Rather, a perfect-timing reflection of the bridge overhead.

naw that's dented....look how the top of the back panel protrudes more at the top.  Therefore the trunk lid doesn't close.
