[quote=“cky89,post:97,topic:29980"”] If its possible, I’d take the kid to the cleaners. [/quote] Naw. Shit happens. It sucks hard for Newman, but it’s just part of driving a car on the street. It’s why we all have insurance. Sounds like the kid’s doing the right thing and handling his business. No need for him to get hosed or even feel bad. All he did was make a mistake and get lesson in following distances. It doesn’t look like the fix will even involve cutting or bending, rather just replacing what got broken with new factory parts? If so then I can’t imagine that it will even hurt the value of the car too much. ---
