^^^ Ditto
I'm just glad you didn't get another injury after what all you've already been thru.

After all these spine surgeries and mental and physical challenges I've gone through over the last few years, you learn not to sweat the small stuff. I'll drop it off at the new Lexus Bodyshop I'm sure next week and that will be that, $500 big deal.
Nope, they open and shut fine absolutely zero issues. Panel gaps appear to be okay too, though I'll have them go over them.
Most importantly, drivability is fine. I wouldn't be caught dead behind the wheel though until it's fixed haha.

That is terrible, but I'm glad that you are okay. You have an awesome fleet of vehicles, and yeah you're right and the SL it probably would have done much more damage to it and seeing as how you got that not long ago, that would have been very sad.

Yeah these are tanks, exactly one of the reasons I wanted it lol. Thank god I was in the truck because it would have totaled both of my cars which are both irreplaceable to me.
The rear door just needs trim, it's fine. Front door outer shell needs replacement and I need a running board and that's about it, this really isn't too bad honestly.
I'm guessing $7500ish.
Oh it'll be fine, I've already uploaded everything to my insurance via phone app. Score one for technology. Deductible is nothing, $500.
THIS TIME however, I'm not taking some Corolla as a loaner since I learned they don't care who gets what. I'm demanding (nicely) an Expedition, I'll use my surgeries as an excuse to need a big high up vehicle.

Make sure you take it somewhere that can really match the paint well. It will need to be blended into the rear door and the front fender.

Poor DJ, he has a pretty bad Carfax report by now. Good thing I'll never be selling him and never had plans to.

Oh yeah, going to either Mercedes or Lexus or an indy right down the street who does as good of work as anyone. They fixed my tailgate and matched the paint perfectly the last time I ran into something lol... I think I'm starting to get older, not OLD but older. To be fair my VERY objective spouse couldn't see it either once I was like "go back and pull in there and try to see it", and would have likely hit it too.
