yes, now it officially looks like a pug dog...it's nose has been squished in. :( Now I have to get it to the shop, wait for it to be done, and pray I don't have further problems based on the initial damage. UGH!

only good part of this whole things is the women that hit it, is my neighbor's friend and she's older so is well covered for insurance. So I'll pay nothing of course. But it still sucks. UGH. It's easily a few thousand dollars worth of damange. the whole front will need to be replaced and perhaps the hood too. hopefully it's only comsmetic damange and the wheels, engine etc. are fine. :( I mean the car is only 10 months old. :(

Upon confronting the car damager, you should have punched her in the nose and yelled,

"How do you like that front-end damage, bitch?"

Nice of her to fess up. Half the folks would have kept on truckin.
This happened to us when Wee was a newborn. We had a knock on our door at 2am and it was some gal that smashed our car.
I really appreciated her having the cajones to let us know she did it. She could have very easily driven off and left us with the mess.

Which happened ALOT in our neighborhood.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR CAR, JACKIE. If that happened to my car I'd cry and cry.

Good of her to fess up, but I think I would've perfered a note....

Then again, it would've sucked to be headed out the door to go somewhere and find you can't. Better to just not smash people's cars I guess.

I smashed my first car this way on my way to school two weeks after I got it. Ran it into a parked trailer, smooshing all the instruments of a Christian rock band.
Unfortunately, my insurance company paid for all new intruments.

Mortals should be so lucky as to be able to merely comprehend a statement such as this let alone think of it themselves. Three cheers.

UGH I'm looking at 4 weeks in the shop, leaky radiator and lots of front damage. I'm hoping (and they seemed hopeful) that there's no engine damage. UGH this really sucks the big one.
