Truck versus Duster, and truck won.

I had just picked up my Grand Marquis from the body shop. They had replaced the rear bumper cover and rebar from a rear end accident while I was sitting at a red light.
One mile from the body shop and I see a shovel bounce off of a truck and head light a torpedo towards my windshield.
I nailed the brake and swing the wheel right and slide the car across another lane.
The shovel crashed into my rear quarter panel and I caused a 4 car pile up.
Luckily a cop witnessed the entire event and the owner of the truck stopped to claim responsibility.
I broke a record at the body shop as the fastest to return after a accident.

Maybe at that specific body shop, but I have the winner regarding time...
Years ago I was driving my '69 Swinger 340 in Whittier (SoCal) when I saw a woman starting to back out of the body shop entrance of the local Lincoln-Mercury dealership.
I stopped to be courteous.
She backed out across the northbound lanes, across the southbound "inside" lane I was in and turned her wheels to get into the "curbside" southbound lane. Unfortunately, as she turned, she backed right across the passenger side corner of my front bumper. She stopped, got out and looked at the crease damage on her driver side quarter, got back in her car and pulled right back into the body shop.
The paint from her car polished off of my bumper without any lasting damage.
