Default My ES in an accident, BUT.....

OK, so Im driving to work on a major highway, going about 60....okay, maybe 70. I was behind this truck with this huge *** ladder. ALl of a sudden, the ladder flies out of the back of the truck. It was like slow motion....ahhhhh! Anyways, it hits my bumper and flips over my car, landing down on my trunk. Ewwww, what a dent. The bumper was scraped pretty bad, but the trunk was SMASHED IN badly. I had it estimated and the total damage was gonna cost $2600! FREE FOR ME, that guys insurance paid for it. Anyways, the ended up painting my WHOLE CAR!! Whoohooo! And I had it done at this very prestigious autobody store. They did an incredible car, and the paint looks incredible. They even gave me all new gold emblems! I just got it back on Sunday and Im overwhelmed at its appearance. I'll have to take some pics......

Man, good thing you didn't get hurt; that could have been much worse. Glad to hear the body shop went beyond the call of duty to satisfy your car's needs. I'm sure you're more vigilant of your car now than before the accident. Take care!

That's great to hear they did more than needed. The WHOLE car?! Wow. Only if I can get a new paint job. Mine needs one desperately! Can't wait to see those pics. Be sure to include the before and after shots!
