Unhappy Bummed out...

Hello, fellow members. I do not post much, but I am on the forums reading and admiring EVERY DAY. I regret to inform everybody that my beloved coupe was sandwiched on PCH last Thursday. The cars in front of me stopped, I stopped, but the lady behind me did not stop. Infact, I do not remember hearing her brake either. I was hit hard enough to hit the car in front of me and she hit the car in front of ther. My baby kept me relatively safe. The damage has not been diagnosed, but I know that she will never be the same car. I do not know what will happen. Here are some of the pics. On the positive side of things, none of the involved were seriously injured. I am very sore and bumme4d out, but life goes on. Thanx for the wise words SC400DUDE! I will get you all some pics.

Default Here are some pics

It did not look so bad at first, but all of the gaps are off, my spare tire well in the trunk was shoved up and in, my coolant reservior was busted, both rear quarter panels creased due to the impact, my exhaust has a leak somewhere, both rear lights are cracked, high beams exploded...
I am having some estimates done early this week. If anybody has any advise, please let me know. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ouch. Thats such a nice 97+ car too. Personally, if someone rear-ended my sweetheard and its their total fault, they're going to wish that they should have just back up and take off. Im going whatever it takes to get every penny that they have.
