I'd def want some money on top of that. Now you are going to have a "repaired" car with paint work and will probably go on car fax. I wouldn't stand for that. good luck

I think that's why this happened, he was feeling out his next turn.

I can see the photos, I was expecting much worse!

Glad to hear you are ok, looks like the damages can be fixed easily. I am sure that the embarassment of the front loader driver is enough to keep him on alert for a very long time.

Glad you weren't hurt.

Maybe the operator had no choice..... If a big yellow CAT tries to hump a MY Corvette, all you can do is go along for the ride....
