Found out the hard way... never trust the guy in the curb lane to wave you out when making a left turn. Of course after the accident happened, the guy that gave me the all clear up and left. 10k worth of damage but at least the stone chips in the bumper will be erased when I get her back.  :-/

The responding office said this happens ALL the time and the person that gives folks the go ahead almost always takes off. Ah well.. You're right, at least no one was hurt badly. I ended up having to go to urgent care for back pain but it's manageable.

Finally got my baby back and had the car detailed and put new summer tires on. $11k worth of damage, front frame rails had to be replaced. I was worried about her not driving as well after the accident but it's better than factory. There were two chipmunks prior to the accident that are quite now, too.

Glad to hear the shop did a bangup job :thumb:  Those tittering chipmunks do get a bit annoying after a while.
