Another one on the crashed list

Well, I spent all morning detailing the car, it looked showroom new

but all that came to an end tonight when I get rearended. The rear bumber got ripped off and the driver's side muffler bent against the rear tire.

Good thing is it was a low car (Camaro) it didn't get to hit the metal bumper bar underneath the cover. Oh well, there goes my weekend. It sucks, I felt like kicking the guy's @$$ but when he got out the car he was too big for me to take on lol

I have no pictures right now, good thing he has good insurance (State Farm) they need to replace the muffler, park assistant, muffler, bumper cover and maybe the wheel liners.

Make sure you get your insurance agent to have the car looked at by a "frame" guy - I know its a unibodied car - but you want to make sure that all the hard points (wheel spindles, doors hinges, etc) are in their correct "places" (tolerances). They have a way of measuring them with lasers to insure that your car is not "twisted" in anyway. This CANNOT be done by eye.

Thanks for the tip Redman.. I'll make sure I mention that... I have Allstate so they shouldn't give me any trouble.

In a positive light, it could have been worse!
