Got hot today by a F*cking VW Passat. My Amethyst beauty is in bad shape and need a whole new rear bumber (inside and outside), all the plastic is broken, even the battery compartment and other steel parts were hit
Stupid "Sorry I was not paying attention" driver. I stood still for at least 10 secs for a traffic light and then mister "sorry" came in. I saw him coming while he was jerking arount with his cell phone in the cradle.
We in the Netherlands call those guys "knuppels".
Now hoping that the damage can be fixed and that I am not stuck with a car that has a discolored bumper.
:thumbsdown:

Just go to the best body shop and the repair should not be noticable. How's the pain in your back and neck? It must be considerable. Perhaps a few visits to the doctor and lawyer will ensure that you can afford that M upgrade.*

Sorry to hear about your accident.
I once had a 6 day old Mitsubishi sitting pretty in a parking lot at the office. Then came a phone call from the security office and when I went down to check, I found that a truck had rammed my new car from the side/rear. The whole rear end had to be replaced.
