Thumbs down Ouch - my backside

Today was the ultimate disaster for me.
There I was in a line of traffic.
I heard a screech of tires and felt my new Crossfire catapulted a few feet forward and heard the terrific noise of a Honda crashing into my backside.
I walked to the rear of my car and observed the damage. There is an imprint of the Honda license plate and screws in the bummer of my car.
If I wasn't a mature male, I would have cried.
So any thoughts. Are there issues about repairs???
The little girl (looks like my daughter at 23) who hit me was so sorry... the tears... the concern about her dads insurance... what can I say. It is going to be fixed so it looks like new. After all I have owned it only 31/2 months.
Boy am I pissed.
Kim.

Sorry, getting into any accident sux. But cars can get replaced, people can't.

So the important thing is, was the girl hot?

Man I hate that SH*T, I'm so sorry. I know when things like that happen to me, I feel like everyone is staring at the damage while driving it. I always want to, like explain what happened or something. Like... "It wasn't my fault, I would have done this to my car." Or something like that. I don't know...I feel for you man. By the way good job on crying on the inside. We need to have one of losing it on the side of the road some place. Us Crossfire men are strong!

At least there isn't any metal damage? The bumper covers are nothing. Don't worry about that.

Very true,.... Keimpe, did you check your exhaust and make sure it was damaged when getting hit. I was just thinking that because our exhaust is kind of high and centered. That it could have possibly been bent or pinched, depending on the speeds of the crash. I'm sending you the good mojo my man. Hopefully, everything will get taken care of quickly for you.

Oh boy... I feel for you. Unfortunately it was a girl, so you couldn't even beat her to suppress your anger and tearfulness.

But hey, that's what the insurances are here for. That's why she or her dad is paying for a policy.

Let your car body check. I remember once, in a weak moment, I hit with my Colt the back of a Volvo (similar situation as you mentioned). Mine was lost. The Volvo only had a few scratches on the bumper, but after a visit they found a slight offset of the bumper and body.
