yay! i get to get my car painted

so i was driving to work this morning and this guy next to me driving a pickup w/ a trailer turns his signal on and starts pulling into my lane. i blew the horn to let him know i was there and he kept going. i had nowhere to go so he ended up hitting my front fender with the trailer and broke off the sideview mirror. police charged him at fault for the accident. so i just went out to survey the damage a little better. the fender is creased pretty good and it buckled a little which actually caused the paint to crack on the lower part of the fender and is now chipping off. the mirror is snapped off and broken. the edge of the door is damaged a little and there's a scratch across the dooe handle. no damaged that i noticed on the rear door. the tailight is scratched as well as the rear side body panel. and to top it all off i'm getting married on sunday and we were planning on taking the P5 on the honeymoon to South Carolina. so looks like if we can't get the other insurance company to cover for a rental for the week we'll be taking the truck $$$

Yeah, it's scary when all you can do is hold on and watch it happen, because there's nowhere to go....

I wish I had ***** like you.

When that happend to me I just slammed the brake and turned away into the curb.
If I would have let him hit me I would have gotten something out of it.
