Default Got her back!

Got my 22 NX350h back last Friday. Actually initially told it would be 2-3 months back when I had my accident March16.
pics from March 16 and then parking lot of local dealership near me.
parts and labor just shy of $11k. No damage beyond front and both front sides around wheels. Hood fine. And back to 45-50mpg in local driving. But bit timid driving now…
First accident in 58 years of driving. Sure hope it’s the last one!

I bet you are one happy camper. Law of averages on your side another 58 years until the next. Did they do a good job?

I thought all those automatic braking doodads were supposed to prevent collisions. Or did something come toward you?

Car from right, I braked but doubt driver paying attention. Intersection so very minor speed of vehicles. Repair shop did great job. Thankfully no damage to frame, engine etc. But so much plastic. My first car was like concrete. Back in the 60’s would have been minor scrapes.
Car did not brake itself. May not work from side front area. Not sure.
list of parts ordered, surprised to see L emblem over $300 just for it.

Ah, the 60s. Hose out what's left of somebody from the car, then hammer out the dent in the bumper and dash, good as new.

Glad you’re okay and that car looks good as new! The L emblem houses the millimeter wave radar for front collision warning and adaptive cruise. That’s why it’s so expensive.
