2006 SL 500
I was rear ended

My beautiful car was hit from behind about two months ago by a guy in a rental car and its taken this long to figure out who would pay the rental car insurance or the person driving. Anyway, the hit was minor - just cosmetic damage or so it seemed. The body shop said it would be out in 3 days but then they found internal damage and now I'm going to be without my car for a week and a half - at least if they keep on the latest schedule. I really love my car and being without makes me feel it even more. A 2000 Chrysler LHS is a nice car but...you know!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the bad luck Sam. I assume you're OK since you said it was a relatively minor hit.

It's Back!

Got my car back yesterday. Took 11 calendar days. Looks great - the outward appearing damage was just barely discernable but guess what it cost the other guy who rear ended me?

$1905!

I hope everything works out and the reapir is good because I don't want to be without my car that long again.

Thanks Sgooter - I was unhurt and the person who hit me wasn't hurt either.
