That bites man, at least you got the bastard. My mom was parked on the street in our neighborhood, and some punk ass guys (I have more specific adjectives, but want to be politically correct and civil on public forums) stole a car and got themselves into a police pursuit. I live on this weird hill thing and I guess the car caught air as it was going over the top, lost control, and smashed right into my mom's car. He then got arrested, etc etc. Long story short, no car, no insurance claim money (half coverage on her car), and we're going to small claims court the guy but if he stole an old POS cutlass, I doubt he'll have any money. But again, at least no one got hurt.
If you got the lady's insurance, find a good body shop work out a deal with them, and upgrade (bumper, CF trunk...). Also, you might want to pay some attention to your transmission because if the car was in gear you are eligible to get your tranny replaced. Anywho, all goes well.

 

To all involved on this thread...

Thank you for your suggestions, sympathy and support.

I just got my car back from the body shop and the Rio Yellow Pearl color match is perfect.

Howe Collision Located in Westland Michigan worked wonders on my car!

The bumper was replaced and the trunk lid bumped and painted.

One would never know the car was ever damaged!!

Quite frankly I am truly surprised with the outcome!!!

Best Regards,
