Glad you are OK. Good luck with the insurance and repairs. Make sure they take care of it right.

That sucks so bad bro... Hope you get everything taken care of. Some one mentioned a damn cell phone..... I got rear ended by someone that was reaching for their cell. F***ing idiots

I didn't see this thread earlier, but I'm dropping in now. Based on a long-ago experience I had with a wrecked and repaired car, I would strongly advise that you take your repaired car to an independent place asap (not the dealer or the insurance place or the body shop that did the work) and have them check out the alignment on a good alignment machine. Have them correct any alignment issue they see (using the normal adjustments), and also have them check that there's breathing room to adjust (in other words, that getting aligned correctly doesn't now take some alignment adjustment piece all the way to some limit, because eventually you'll need the extra adjustment room for future adjustments).

If there was slight frame damage that was corrected (or so slight that the body shop thought it could be ignored), odds are high the alignment guys will notice when they check this stuff out.

Holy crap sorry to hear that! Glad you're fine. How does one deal with that? First payment barely started and already get hit. One of my friends bought a brand new TL over 3 years ago. Barely 1 month of ownership he got in a fender bender.

the body shop told me that i would have to get a new suspension
and an alignment AND a bumper plus new airbags.

You should talk to the lawyer.

mattkim85, man, that sucks. Sorry you got pranged.

I worked on a car from age 14 through age 21 back in the day, working it up from a $75 junker up to a super-clean, everything-new machine. After all that, a girl in a POS rear-ended me at an intersection and totaled the car (and broke my Recaro seat!!!). At least she had insurance that paid in full. Anyway, i feel your pain!

Good luck with the repairs. At least everybody is ok.
