not good...

was on my way home today and an f150 didn't see me as i enter the "left only" lane to make a left turn on an intersection and clipped my wifey's evo x on the right rear quarter panel . this sucks so bad...i already called my insurance and filed a claim on the fellas insurance so i don't have to pay any deductible and what not...his truck only got scrapes...
this is one of those once a week days where i decided to take the evo x instead of the viii...but i guess either way it's a loss. i'd prolly be more pissed if it was my viii that got hit. but here it is. i'm hoping to get it fixed asap.

It's not so bad, but still that really sucks. Make sure you get paid for a rental car for every day that you can't drive the car. I think it's like $25/day.

Good luck with that.

Why would you think about letting YOUR company fix it? He hit you, not the other way around. Just be sure that the car gets back to normal.

At least, your wife didn't get hurt. From the photos it doesn't look to bad and it's fix-able. Good luck.

I see a common thing here between trucks hitting Evos. Really sucks, and glad no one got hurt. The bodyshop contracted out by Don Herring does great body work. National Autobody.
