Default Its a sad day

While I was working with a fellow student this morning on a service trip we are planning to Tanzania to bring Life-straws, a water filtration system, to a village of around 2600 people I got some bad news.

My mom walks in and tells me she backed into my car. She felt terrible about it but I was as nice as anyone could be about it.

So heres the damage
The bumper,headlight, and quarter panel are all done for

Thanks man and do you have the 2012 or the old style ones. I need to see how much the insurance company is going to pay before I start ordering parts. I may hit you up.

Not brake , but if they paid for 1200$ for one then take the check and add in the diff to get 2012LED.

Trust me we both did. I Just hope my insurance people will let me get the artisan spirits front bumper instead of the stock bumper but we will see. I just need to see how much they quote me.

Mayn!!! I feel your pain. Insurance should cover the cost of repairing it. Park your car in the garage next time. My F take precedence in my garage. Good luck.

Well...at least it was family....I guess?

Perfect opportunity to go to 2012 LED headlights and a molded WALD front bumper setup...

BTW...I have a 3 car garage and I park my IS F and my 23 year old BMW 325i in the garage...I kicked dad's car out of the garage
