Rear ended on my way to work this morning, pushing me into the car in front of me.  Awesome. 

If you look closely, you can see that the license plate is bent around the hitch receiver.  It runs and drives OK though the left turn signal cluster is not working.  I imagine the wiring harness got pulled off or something.  


In the parking lot we all pulled into, I noted that the rear doors opened, but seemed a little tighter, and the gap around the bottom edge is a little smaller.

Also, the cup holder came out of the dash, and the left side of the radio popped out.  No other dash damage is noted.  My coffee mug pinwheeled, spraying coffee on the dash, inside of the windshield, and headliner before wedging itself, right side up, between the passenger seat and door pillar.  Weird.  


I'm going to take off work in a bit and go to a body shop or two to get estimates.  If it weren't for concerns about the frame (rear doors tight) I'd strongly consider just getting parts and fixing it myself.

I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.  It could be I have some parts for sale soon.  Or it could be I need some parts soon!
