Mia got hurt :-(
So my poor baby Mia got hit by a mean SUV on saturday. Shockingly she's a trooper and didn't get hurt that bad. it's going to be $1600 to fix but thankfully it's 100% the other persons fault. I was stopped at a red light and got rammed into from behind.

Those damned urban assault vehicles...sorry to hear.
At least the bill gets sent to someone else and the damage wasn't that bad.

Does Mia have her Rabies Vaccinations up to date? I here some of those lumbering beasts can carry rabies.
Get well soon Mia!

I hear ya, more SUVs, minivans, and people who can't pay attention to their driving that you could imagine.
Speaking of which: There are shittons of MINI's around here yet I haven't found a dedicated LI club that isn't out east. Am I missing one?

I never got a trunk with my purchase. Is that some type of aftermarket part?

I was rear ended by a drunk years ago, it was not pretty, be thankful you are ok and the car protected you. I am sure it will be fixed soon!

In Chicago my daughter says they just leave it that way lol. Just pocket the dough. It's bound to happen again the day you get it back from the shop there. Nobody parks a decent car on the street there.

It could be worse - you could have gotten hit (on Long Island as well) when you weren't in the car and left without a note upon return!
Oh did I mention my car was 9 days old when it happened?
