Default i got hit by a towtruck

so this morning i was going to work at 6am. i was crossing a small intersection and a flat bed towtruck ran the stop and plowed into my sc300. ive had this car for only 4 weeks so i was really pissed. luckely my friend was behind and say that he ran the stop. so he are some pics.









so im bummed today guys. they said they will pay for the repairs but its probably a salvage title now. so ya i loved that car.

Wow that sucks. Some people are idiots. On my way to work this morning there were 3 cars forming a triangle on the on-ramp because neither would slow down to let the other pass It does not look bad though, and will probably work out in your favor. Did they at least tow you home for free?

I know how you feel. Shortly after I got mine a streetbike hit my car and bent tons of rear suspension stuff.

I can't really see the inside of your engine bay, but it doesn't look like the damage is that bad at all. Just make sure to pursue it with the insurance so you can get your money asap.

Ouch, sorry to hear what happened.

This means 97 bumper, new headlights, and new type of hood

Hopefully all goes well with insurance and they reimburse you asap.
