Well it happened this morning on the way home from work. My boss asked me to drop him off on my way. I was on a 2 lane stretch and she was trying to make a left hand turn from a gas station. Traffic in the right hand lane had stopped to allow another vehicle to enter where she was exiting from. She without a clear line off sight decided to nose out into my lane. Her view was certainly obstructed by the van that as well was obstructing mine. She nosed out into my lane and I had 2-3 car lengths to react. This was not enough. I clipped about 6 inches off her front corner drivers side. I clipped my passenger side front end. Her car a 91 civic got off pretty lightly. The bumper skin and the driver side headlight as well as one park light and it could be repaired though it will likely be written off too. Luckily I missed the air bag sensor by a few inches so they did not deploy. My damage includes front bumper, park light, fog light, car bra, likely a bent control arm, popped out ball joint, front fender, slight dent to the rim, and the fender pushed into the passenger door. There is likely more damage but that is what I could make out this morning. All that adds to more then 2-3000 I'm guessing and my bet is they will call it a loss. I really hope not as we love this car and we know all the quirks to it. We really don't want to have to learn about another one. Anyway no one was hurt it seems and it wasn't the Contour thank god but still it sucks.
