    Yeah the pics look way worse here than the tiny little ones on FB. Looks like a pretty costly fix. :(

    Hope they catch the ******* that did this!

    CARP that truly sucks! Thank goodness for insurance. If there is anyway I can help let me know. Time for an alternate parking spot.

    That's terrible!
    Parking on the street hasn't worked out so well with you. Crashton's right, you should find alternative parking. Maybe there is a neighbor who will rent you their garage.

    I had a street parked car totaled by a drunk many years ago. It taught me a hard lesson about street parking. I feel so bad for you Nathan.

    NOOOOO! [emoji79] Dang it Nate! Sorry for your luck. I sure hope you don't end up where I ended up with WINGS because it's not hard to do 75 % of value damage to the car when they hit it that hard , mine ended up totaled and it was only a hood, bumper assembly, fender, headlight. [emoji20] [emoji19] [emoji26] Hopefully since they didn't get anything but mainly metal you come out okay.
    It hurts to lose a family member. Hoping for the best buddy!
    I got lucky I came out ok and at least the stinkers didn't run over you to get to your MINI! Yes, that's $10,700 of damage... [​IMG]
