I fell bad for you, but you know people are going to want to see pics.

Good luck with the repairs!

I think we are all curious how much damage is done by a low speed rear end.

I don't see why it's unreasonable to ask. It's also not unreasonable to say no.

Today I worry more about information getting out. Someone might want to buy this car someday and they if they see these pics posted.... it's tougher to sell.

I can see the back panel is out of alignment and both the upper and lower panels have creases in them. Sucks......
as i'm sure you are!

That's one of my biggest fears, someone not paying attention and just runs into me. I'm always watching my mirrors.
I hope the damage is repaired quickly and you're back to enjoying your Stingray.

Lousy luck! No matter how careful you are out there it is always a crap shoot. Glad it wasn't worse.

Of the total number of people from the driving age of 16 to over the age of 100, only 20% are over the age of 65, and probably half of those above age 75 don't drive.

That makes you wonder who causes the most wrecks, doesn't it? Is it those between the age of 16 and 64 or those between the age of 65 and 100?
That's an easy answer. 16-24 causes more wrecks than 25-75.

And every time someone hears of a wreck involving a senior citizen, they make a big deal out of it, as if they believe that if every senior citizen was parked, all accident's would stop.

The truth is that senior citizens are involved in very few of the total number of auto accidents.

Bummer, but at least you are OK, cars can be repaired easier then we can heal.

They cause more wrecks then the over 75 crowd also. Most of the time when I see a really bad driver on the road it's someone under 25.
