Really sorry to see that Kellie. I am glad you're ok!
On the bright side, at least that's damage that can be fixed with no lasting effect on your car.

That reminds me of what happened to me on my way to class yesterday. I was in the farthest left lane and this truck didn't see me and he started floating into my lane. I had to down shift and honk at him. The guy proceeded to give me the finger, even though I did the right thing by speeding up (slowing down, his rear tires would have chewed up my front end). What a punk.

Dammn that sucks...at least your cool, that could have easily went thru your driver side window, and that would have really sucked. If ya need a good body shop recommendation let me know. You might be able to buff that out with a little work
that really sucks, knowing that u can't do anything wen such accident happens..
anyway, look at the bright side.. ur still ok.. (and i know how hard it is to see ur "baby rex" to be in such harm...)
gud lak on ur car and with the insurance claim...

I can just imagine how you feel. That's really an unfortunate event.
How is the insurance going to cover this? Are you going to have to pay the deductable? Or would the civic driver be responsible, since it was his tire?
At least the side airbag didn't go off.

I talked to my insurance company (Farmers) and filed a claim. They're going to try to hold the tow truck company responsible, not the Civic driver. Initially, I'll pay the deductable, then they'll go after the other guy's insurance company to reimburse me for that and all of the damage. I also have the right to choose my own body shop, so she gave me a list of a few in the area that work with Farmers and have an adjuster on site. She just said to get back to her once I choose a place, whether it's one of theirs or my own, so I'm open to any recommendations.
Sue B. took one for the team. If my side were ripped open like that, I probably wouldn't have survived...she's way more tough than I am. Poor baby.
