Welcome, Jon and sorry about your mishap....very painful, even moreso w/ a new car, and even moreso w/ a MINI that you've eagerly anticipated and is so much fun!!! Hope the repairs blow you away and you're soon motoring (and posting) all you want!!

 

Jon,

Welcome to NAM

How bad was the hit? Just a bump or more than just a bump?

A friend of mine traded his MC for an MCS and after about three days he got it he was rearended and it took a few days to get if fixed now he is selling his MCS and buying a MINI GP.

The hit was prety bad. the guy hit me on the back drivers side going about 50 ish while I was stoped waiting to make a lefthand turn. It smashed the back in and bent the wheel into the car, all my pasanger side curtain airbags went off too. no one was hurt so that was good.

 

Welcome to NAM. and more important, "glad you weren't hurt". Its got to be a real bummer to have a car for such a short period, just to have some idiot hit you.

 

Hi Jon, i am so sorry to hear about your accident? Did you have any neck injuried or whiplash from it? I hope you are alright, otherwise you should go to a doc as soon as possible.
My husband was crashed into when he had a speed yellow 911, how do you hit a YELLOW car that is stopped??!! People can drive really bad!! I am always afraid of getting rear-ended
I hope the Mini comes back looking great.
