My SVX got run over by a truck

[rufus]

OK, only partially run over. I dropped a car off at the body shop for some paint repair work this morning (ironically), and at the red light right outside of their parking lot, I pulled in behind a big delivery truck to wait for the light. A few seconds later, I guess he decided he was too far out in the intersection, and backed right into me. Headlamps, both fenders, hood, radiator and support, all smashed into the front of the engine. The guy admitted fault to the cop, so insurance should not be a problem, although I am quite worried that they are going to total the car... No injuries though, thankfully. I went for reverse, but obviously not fast enough.

At least the body shop was one of my insurance company's "prefered shops" and I was able to drive the car over there (about 300 feet) and drive home in the one I was originally planning to get fixed today. On the way back to my house, I said to my finacee "at least everything's going as planned this morning, we dropped a car off at the bodyshop..."

I am pretty bummed, although if they fix it at least I'll get rid of the paint chips in the hood

Stupid trucks.
