January 9th: Rear-ended by Drunk Driver. After much negotiation(an initial low-ball figure from Gieco)I finally picked up a check from them yesterday at lunchtime. So I can finally start repairs.

In the 5 miles from the Geico shop back to work, a kid came around a corner on the wrong side of the street and crumpled the driver's side fender, bent the bumper, and smashed the headlight and corner light.

I was in such a good mood since I had gotten what I wanted from Geico, and then this happened. So the car I bought about 5 months ago that looked beautiful, now is a wreck in the front and back.

What a hassle!

Has anyone ever straightened their Alum Bumper? Know of a Junkyard in Tampa/Clearwater area that may have 240's?

    Ouch!

    Kinda been there... 10 years ago, my old 740 got rammed in the rear quarter. Car was in the shop for 2 whole weeks, as the other driver never notified their insurance properly. Long story short, got the car back, and three days later it got rear ended. Fortunately no damage the second time around except a crack in the paint of the newly repainted bumper.

    Good luck,
    -Ryan
