OUCH!!! I had slight damage around my R/F headlight after a drunk backed into it while I was inside a C-Store paying for gas. It was embarrasing for the few days before I could get into the body shop and get $300.00 worth of repairs. I felt like everyone was staring at it!

Maybe the car in the photo belongs to the ex driver - and that is what it looked like when he was ordered by the judge to give it to his ex wife.
