Sorry to hear about the accident. but am glad to see the car is repairable. And, I'm very glad to hear he only came through the garage and not the house itself.

If that had happened in NC I can tell you what the police would have said if the driver happened to be an illegal alien.

The car "lurched" and they didnt even know they hit anything. No damage done, no ticket.

Yes, I am serious.

Sounds like they might need AA as much as AAA! Good luck getting it repaired to your satisfaction.
