Temps boiled over at stop light
I was waiting second in line at the stop light and the lead car had stopped in the crosswalk
So she backed up I honked I couldn't back myself
When I saw she was 21 I was cool not to upset her. Which would not help at this point looks like the 3 m took the blow
Hopefully remove the 3m wet sand buff
New 3 m no painting

Yeah that's a shame. I've found that once they're 22 the damage is not that great, but when you can't back yerself that's the kind of thing that happens. Hopefully it didn't overheat at the next 2 stoplights the same way cuz that would be brutal. You are lucky to only have the skid marks. Next time could be much better...

Choose your words carefully here! Using words like temps, boil over ect could put your thread in the Mega Merger and bring on a whole new crowed !
I own a collision shop make sure you use an independent non insurance connected shop to repair. Your the customer not the insurance co., tell the shop. The front cover should come off and completely disassembled before refinishing. Most likely they will have to blend the color into the hood. Good Luck and sorry to see the damage. My Z06 was hit with 3k miles I know what your feeling.

It was late last night when I read the OP's post and then I saw your reply. Between the two of them, I thought I'd lost my mind and went straight to bed.

I thought that when they hit 22 the damage is much worse.
Seriously, I read that the traffic was nose to tail with the lead car stopped too far forward into the intersection. (Mistake 1.) The next car back was the OP who pulled too close to allow her to back-up enough. (Mistake 2.)
Finally, the other driver who backed into the OP was a 21 y/o female and got a muted response from the OP due to her young age. (Mistake 3.)
Did I nail it?
