Almost tore the front off the car. I got charged for all those plastic pieces to the tune of $3,800--well, my insurance company got charged lol.
One good thing is all the places where the paint had been chipped off got replaced shiny new.
Anyone else with stupid accident stories?

Know the feeling as the same thing happened to me on the I270 on the North side of St Louis. 5 o'clock traffic and no place to go when a Semi in front of me exploded the left rear and it too wiped out my front end. New bumper cover and paint job for me.
