Well last week my sisters vibe got hit again. She was at a stoplight and the Durango or Ram behind her didnt stop. I am amazed that it is only this bad....I was expecting much worse but still its bad enough. So its going to a different body shop tomorrow for an estimate, it will not go where it went when it got hit in January since that body shop left dents in the fender when they removed the wheel flare plastic.And to top it off someone hit the back bumper on my moms Bravada in a parkinglot somewhere on the same day. Im am so...you know

To top it off, the height of the ram missed the crashbar but it bent the rear floor pan in....it did not mess up the spare tire well, but right behind it it is bent. This then bent the hatch latch so the hatch is hard to shut and when it is shut it does not line up well at all.

Car is back in under a day! 1300.00 replace bumper cover and rear crash bar, repair rear body work between spaer tire well and outer bumper cover.

$1,300 covered by the Ram owner's insurance, right?
