I hope the person who hit you has good insurance. That's horrible!

I hope you're still feeling okay, and that there are no (physical) aftereffects from the crash. *hugs* I know you must be feeling rather shell-shocked, and now THIS.

Thank you! I'm actually feeling pretty good. Stiff and bruised in a few places, but overall not nearly as bad as I expected. But shell-shocked is right - I've been constantly drained and sleepy today.

Eep!!! Yes, hopefully someone's insurance will cover this for you. After all, it wasn't your fault!!!

And I'm also glad that you yourself came out of this in one piece. Could have been so much worse!

I keep telling myself it could have been worse, MUCH worse, but that doesn't seem to help.

I am very much hoping the person who hit me has good insurance! But I won't know for a while who will pay. The police report won't even be available for 10 days.

Oh man, is the car worth that much? When someone rear-ended me we had to ask the body place to try and keep the reported repair total under 3k otherwise the insurance company for the other driver would just declare my car "totaled" and give me a check instead of fix it. I love my car so much I bought the same model twice and had to go to another state to get the second one! I knew the pickings would be slim again if I had to replace a car over a dented back door. :/ I hate, haaate how the system works. It shouldn't be up to the insurance company of another driver to determine whether or not they will fix my car in full or if it's worth it. It's worth it to ME and wasn't my fault, so they should pay! :/

I hope you're feeling okay! I actually felt worse the first day of my last wreck, and better the second, so I hope it's the same for you!

The car is only five months old. *sniff*

I heard a bit more - the damage is mostly cosmetic. No apparent frame or damage. How that could cost $8900 I don't know, but I hope they don't total it. I love that car, so I know exactly what you mean.

Five months? Oh man, that sucks! That always seems the way of it, though. Get something awesome, someone is a dick and messes it up right away. :/
