That really sucks!! I hope you are ok. What is it with people crashing into these brand new cars?? It kind makes you wonder if it not out of spite sometimes.

Here's another one. It doesn't look bad, but it was a strong hit. My head hit backward to the chair by the force, and still hurt.

ouch, I hope you feel better...might be good to head to doctor and get checked out if you are still sore from the impact.

I hope your baby gets fixed soon and is back to normal asap!

Your car can be easily fixed, but better check your head out. Takecare~~

Sorry to hear. Go to the doctor. Plus check for damage under the bumper skin. Chances are, there are more damages.

If the accident was not your fault, you should make a claim on the guy's insurance. This happened to my wife in our Infiniti FX35. She got hit from behind and it was clearly the other guy's fault. Instead of making a claim on our insurance, we made a claim on his insurance, which paid for the full repairs plus rental car while our FX was in the shop.
