Let me preface this saying, I was the only one who drove their car home, though barely. The lady who hit me left the scene in an ambulance, and the guy who hit her couldn't see over his hood anymore. I'm fine, but the M3 isn't quite as shapely as it was this morning.

:(

Dustin, Glad your O.K! Body panels can be replaced you know. Maybe
the insurance $ will include a cool aero kit. (Attempt at levity!) Hope
the body shops in Raleigh aren't as busy as the guys in Fuquay!!
Seriously, Glad your O.K.!

Glad you are ok and hopefully the repairs will render the M3 good as new!

Crap! Bummer dude, I'm sorry to hear it.

Push for a full respray at a good shop when you get it fixed -- tell insurance that this "unique" color is impossible to color-match. Make her better than before.

Assuming the suspension pickup points, roof, and rockers are all 100% intact....

I was going to suggest that this is a great opportunity to pick a different color, but I know that Malia is fond of Electric Grape.

Dustin, hope you feel OK tomorrow.

Gut it! Put a cage in it! :thumbsup:

I'm kidding... glad you're OK. I take it you were in the front of a three car rear-end?

Yep, Expedition punted the lady behind me. Conservation of momentum sucks when you're the smallest car. Damn SUV's.
