Default Ouch, This Hurts

Just got a text from my buddy and he wrecked his new Stingray convertible. He didn't get hurt but car sure did. Unfortunately they are not gonna total it so he will be getting back a car with a very bad Carfax resume.

Yea he said a guy just walked across the street without looking and to avoid hitting him he swerved off road and thru a construction zone.

I just left the shop with him, no frame damage, it's all cosmetic and suspension related so they are gonna fix it. Shop says the hood alone is $3800. Guess it doesn't matter how much stuff is if insurance is paying for it.
