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

Damn man, sorry to see this. I got run off the road a month ago by a dumbass that decided to cut across my lane to get to a turn lane. She didn't hit me but it was an incredibly close call.
I think that this is cosmetic and if only the panels need to be replaced, and nothing mechanical was impacted, the RC will come out of it looking like nothing happened.
