The car is at Prestige Mini body shop waiting for the adjuster. It's taking longer because they're not on the insurance companies "select" list.

Good luck with the repair, it's really a shame for such a nice new car to get damaged like that but at least nobody got hurt.
Yes this is how I plan on driving my car from now on. I plan on driving as if it's a motorcycle.

I literally had to stop eating my yogurt because I became physically ill looking at all these damage pictures. It really is a sad world in which people do not "drive" anymore. I always drive on the defense in both of my cars. The smaller you are the more you have to act like you are a motorcyle for sure. I really hope all of your cars can be fixed quickly and get you all back to motoring.
