37 days...
Went to the post office and gas station and then this happened... Little old lady backed up at the light and did not see me there... she rode up in her Ford Escape until she took her muffler off.
At least the hood isn't cracked and the lights still work. Now we know that a C4 hood can take the weight of a Ford Escape, she went right over the left headlight and it didn't break! When the Cop told us to move off the road and head into an alley so he could finish talking to us, she almost hit me again!
So I had a nice original car for 37 days, Hagerty said they will make it right but I figure she is worth a lot less now that she will need a repaint and will have a accident reported on any carFax.

Bumper is not really attached, but the headlight still works!

Aw, man. Didn't you just go pick that car up?
Edit, nm, I see you mentioned about only having it 37 days.
Dang. That hurts. I hope you can get it straightened out. Sheesh. It's always other people, isn't it? I tell ya. Some people...

Save pics..I bet a guy who wanted your car wouldnt be bothered by it scraped up..besides he gets fresh paint he doesnt have to worry about peeling.
Ive had a couple fender benders all reported but for some reason dont show on carfax at all (they dont always show all incidents.

Dang, I'm sorry to hear this.
I hope it gets back to the beautiful shape it was before.
