Sorry about that man. Hate to see so many coupes getting hit lately. I got rear ended in January pretty bad and I still haven't got my car back, but I should be getting it back today or tomorrow. Trust me they can fix that up pretty good because they had to replace both of my sides from the door back and right now they look just like when I drove her of the lot. Hopefully they'll have your car looking like new in no time!!

Was taking a left turn off the main road into the parking lot at my work, and a big welding truck decided to pull out of the lot at the same time and nail me. Wasn't my fault at all, but still super weak.

The guy stopped and I got his insurance. It was a company truck, so I'll be well taken care of I'm sure. I love this car though!

Yeah but the main thing is that you're ok. The car can be fixed or replaced. I remember growing up a welding truck was pulling out of a parking lot and it had a couple of long pieces of I beam on the rack it was carrying that stuck out at least 10 feet iver and beyond the length of the truck. Unfortunately, as it was making that turn, a school bus was passing and the I beam ripped through the bus and killed a bunch of kids. It was a sad day!

Be happy it was only your car that got damaged man, could have been worst.

Wasn't the intent Bri. I was just merely pointing our that yes we all love our vehicles. But we forget that our cars are replaceable, unlike some of the precious cargo we carry in it.

Definitely a great point Dangeris, but being a car forum we all like to brood about are metal "babies"

The good thing is that they replaced the whole panel. Very little Bondo. Yours should be the same. The good thing for me is that I work at the collison shop so I can kinda over look things so to speak.
