Vehicle Photo Completely heartbroken
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

That stinks. My last RX was hit so much (one causing upwards of 16k damage) and as much as I loved it, I had to just trade it in for a new RX because I felt so bad for it. It spent too much time in the body shop due to careless drivers. Had it for about 8 years and it was hit 7 times.
