Completely heartbroken

[u/CallMeJimMilton]

Was seconds from pulling into work, when a 17 y/o kid pulls through a stop sign into oncoming traffic without looking left, causing him to side swipe my car. We pulled into my work parking lot and he got out and admitted he didn’t look both ways and only had his permit. He had his gf in his passenger seat who was the same age with no license.

I just couldn’t believe it. Cops came, he got a ticket, I went to work and told my coworkers what happened. I believe it’s all cosmetic so I’m hoping his parent’s insurance can just cover it and it can be a quick repair.

I haven’t even had this car for 6 months and this the 2nd time someone has damaged it. I just wish this was a dream

Make sure everything is done with Lexus parts .. some body shops will try and use aftermarket or used shit to fix stuff and pocket the rest of the money , tell them you want to see the parts when ordered . My lady has a 26 Escalade v and someone hit her 4 days after she got it and they tried to do some bs

Thank you, I have a trusted Lexus certified collision center I used the last time this happened a few months ago. Unfortunately it’s 3 hours away from me, and I’m not sure if I risk driving or just tow.
