dude my mom almost had the same issue, it was a wee bit different tough in my contour,
she was pulling around an isle... and this crazy old hag smashes into the front end with her cadillac... of course it totally ruins the whole front bumper and hood etc.. was a sad site...
the cop tried to tell my mom it was her fault, uuntil she relized the old hag was cuttin across the parkin spaces over the yellow lines.. to get across the lot to a parkin spot while MY mom was driving between the lines...
my mom sued her. lol, and won pretty easily. I say sue the [censored] for being stupid!
