Some putz in a 1 ton panel van decided to switch over 2 lanes to the curb lane. While he was busy looking in his rear view mirror he failed to notice all the traffic was stopped! KA-BLAM! Pushed my MINI into the Camry in front of me and the Camry into the car in front of it! )(&#(^#%@*%!@!:evil:
Now I'm MINI-less! My poor car was hauled off to MINI of Tampa Bay. I don't know how badly its damaged. The rear bumper is pushed in, exhaust bent and the front end is smashed to hell. Radiators leaking, the door gaps look a funny! WAAAH!
I must say for as heavy as the hit was (he never even slowed - 30-40mph?) the MINI held up extremely well. Its just that my beloved MINI was only 2 months old & 4,400 miles! Now its all F****D UP! THIS SUCKS!
Here's some pics.
You can see both ends of the MINI are pushed down & under the car. The front is pushed off to the passenger side also. The car looks about 6"-8" shorter than it was this morning!

They have an excellent collision shop and did wonders
with my car. But if you get an Enterprise rental..ask for
a non-smoking car and check it before you leave. PU.
Smoke and cheap perfume for two weeks. Gag me.

Sorry about your MINI. I hate that - it makes my heart ache for you. I am glad to hear you're okay, though.
Of course, this means you have to be extra nice to your MINI when he/she comes home from the body shop.
