Aw crud. Glad you're OK.

Sorry your car was "trashed".

Looks like more than a clay bar and some NXT will fix. But, now might be a good time to think about a new rear facia (maybe spoiler) and new paint scheme.

Like the others said, Grumpy.....glad you're okay. Cars can be fixed or replaced no matter how painful it is to look at them that way. People are not as easy to fix and impossible to replace. Good luck with the repairs!

Like the others before me have siad, glad you're okay Grumpy. As painful as it is to look at it, the car can be repaired or replaced. People aren't as easily repaired and impossible to replace.

Best of luck with the repairs, and I hope they turn out to your satisfaction.
