So I'm driving downtown headed to work on one of the busiest streets in the city and all of a sudden a truck tries to do a U-Turn next to me. The person didn't see me and hit my baby. After it happened; I got out of the car, clapped my hands to together and prayed. Thank god everyone was fine. Looks like I get to finish my Mtech kit prematurely and get her in the paint shop.
I'm still tripping though.... a U-Turn pre 9am on one of the busiest streets..... ahhhh....

Dang! Sorry you happened to be the victim of a dumba$$ driver 
At least you are ok, and it isn't any worse than it is. Your hood looks to be fine, and hopefully your headlight can be buffed out. GL

Thanks for the good words guys. I want everything replaced to be honest. Fender is cracked, bumper is shot, headlight is scraped. Rim is bent and scuffed. Today was not a good day, but at least I have my life and everyone walked away.

if anyone on the forum can feel your pain right now, best believe its me. im so sorry to see this man. but luckily its an easy fix and you wont lose your car. look forward to a new front bumper man and thank your lucky stars that it wasnt more severe both damage wise and health wise.

Chris - I know exactly what you're talking about. I know your new M eases the old memories.
