Ugh! Hate seeing that, at least there were no injuries. Make sure you find a GOOD body shop to get your baby re-done right!!!

Glad you're okay and your Camaro is still drivable. What are you going to drive while your Camaro is in the shop?

I'm starting to wonder if they even "fail" people anymore on driving tests. I don't understand how that people can be distracted or careless with a car. A car is a 3,000+ lb killing machine, why do people not care?

My brother-in-law failed his driving test; and he's 30. So yes, they do fail. You just have to be stupid enough.

Hubby is in Afghanistan, so it will be his Toyota Tundra Rock Warrior edition. It's been my inclement weather driver, guess now it's my DD. Backlog of collision repairs in this area (more than our fair share of non-driving dumbasses?). Bumblebee won't get done for a month. I'm sick!

unless there's damage to the radiator or oil cooler or something thats not visible, it looks plenty drivable, I'd enjoy it in its slightly bruised condition until the body shop has time to get to it.

Rebel, that one told me herself she was okay...but the airbag gave her a painful wallop to her belly.

It really does suck when defensive driving couldn't even save me. The driver at fault should be fined.

Defensive parking??

Had something eerily similar happen near me, luckily I was not hit. But same situation. Sitting at a light, first in line, and a pickup truck blew through the red light and t-boned another car. With the pickup driver knocked out and foot on the gas, the truck started doing donuts and I was praying it wouldn't nail me.

May be a good time to consider a fascia upgrade!

The embedded short clip in this article gives a graphic representation of the destruction caused by an inattentive 18 year old. My camaro only had a cameo appearance in it because it sustained the least amount of damage and I was the only person who did not win a free ambulance ride to the hospital.

The quote above very eloquently sums it up.

You win this round.

Maybe it's time for a brush guard.
