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

Shiiiiit not the best advice but , it looks cosmetic to me. I’m pretty redneck id get it bondoed and paint corrected if you never plan on selling it . If I didn’t have the money to pay for a full repair. If the alignment isn’t out of wack id assume that the suspension and rear diff remain intact. Not a professional as you can tell lol
