so im at the local wallY-mart yesterday and what happens? this guy in a new dodge durango backs right in to me! not alot of damage, cracked the headlight, scuffed the bumper, and bent the drivers side fender out a bit... the best part? he has never been in a fender-bender before in 48 years of driving he says... but at least it wasnt too bad  could have been worse...could have gotten hit by trailer-park betty in a '78 fairmont station wagon.....

Thats to bad, but hey these things happen I guess. Like you said you could have gotten hit by Betty. Is his insurance going to take care of it? How long will it take you to fix it?

That sucks. How long till you get it fixed? How much is it going to cost his insurance?

Just be thankful it wasn't the family station wagon similar to what Chevy Chase had in Vacation!

there are some pictures of the pretty minimal damage at: http://vacation.andarazoroflove.org/contour/ouch/ the estimate including repainting the bumper, a new headlight, and unrolling the fender comes to 717.35$ from the local CarStar...and yes his insurance is covering it  with any luck it will be fixed before the 30th
