Picked up my GT2 a couple months ago after having owned a GT for the last 4 years and 6k miles later a kid in a minivan tried taking me out on a bridge, damnit. I literally picked it up from getting new front tie rods and an alignment yesterday, made it 100 miles.5A166F76-B77A-46A9-BE41-8A5737A59568.webp1ADAA8E5-7E1F-462F-AF47-44320663019D.webp
 
It's all fixable but that stinks.
Definitely, could’ve been a lot worse, kid bounced back across 3 lanes after he hit me and managed to not hit anyone else or hurt himself, I’m sure he learned a lesson!

Hope he or his insurance is paying for it. *Sucks* it happened to your ride!

Yup, he was insured and state patrol listed him as responsible, heard back from insurance that they’re covering everything and to get an estimate. I’m bummed because my experience is even with the best body shop it’ll never be the same, maybe I’ll be surprised this time.
 
Ima remembering that security cam video posted a while back, of the convenience store pumps island, and the mustang that basically peeled out after filling up, the driver lost control as the back end came around and he came back and smashed a pump down and it and his car caught fire. he got out and did the omg dance grabbing his head, then dashed out of sight for about a minute then came back with a bottle of water he'd obtained at the next door grocery store. he now had a sizeable fire to deal with and after squirting the bottle at it he simply ran away. funny, not funny. he looked a little older than 16 but it was hard to tell from the low visual quality.
16 year old kid not paying attention, did a pit maneuver (on Patrol Live style) back end swung around & hit car infront on 16 year olds truck

The OP's looks significantly less damaged, and I assuming based on the pictures it was still driveable. The red one obviously wasn't driveable. Sometimes people want them to be totaled though instead of having a car that has been in an accident.

Sucks. Happened to me in June. Seems like there are a lot of teenage boys hitting our cars.

I am with you. Never the same, just those millimeters of difference. No one notices, but I do, I do.
 
I feel your pain. I had a deer t-bone mine this past Monday. Around 6k$ in damages on drivers side. May the repairs be quick and painless!

Definitely less damaged, my car has significant damage on every panel on the passenger side so it’s probably not too far off as far as what needs replaced. It’s totally drivable, pretty annoying with the bent door frames/seals whistling, lol. There’s also the fact that it will have a wreck on the history and resale/trade value will suffer.

Dang, I just got back from traveling for work so haven’t gotten an estimate yet, same to you, I hope all goes well getting it fixed!

That’s me, it may be totally unnoticeable to everyone but I know where to look and it’ll bug the crap out of me.

Ugh....having one that is only 5 months old and looking at those pics makes me scared to get mine out of the garage :oops:

I hope it comes back good for you. I haven’t posted since but I’m battling with insurance, kid that hit me has the same insurance and they tried offering me $3400 last week.
 
How’d you come out?? Mine got sideswiped yesterday. Front and back right door panels dented. What did yours end up costing. Mine is a 2019 and up until now in PRISTINE condition!!

What did it end up costing ? Did they have to replace rear back as well?
