Going on 190,000 miles and I didn't lose control at 100mph, or spin out of control like a mustang getting a cup off coffee...no, I get tagged by a utility truck that was just a little too tall to see me when he merged...
Doesn't look like there is any structural damage, just panels and paint...and maybe the rim.
To the shop she goes...poor thing...

That stinks. Looks like a fairly simple repair over all though.

190K.

I know your feelings, breaks your heart but thank the good Lord that it's mainly panels and paint! Then she will be cruising the streets once again!

Good luck!

Been there too, man. Turned out fine, though. As noted, glad you are ok and it's just minor bodywork in the grand scheme of things!
