Sorry to hear about your accident! At least it's just a little fender bender and no one was hurt. I know how much it sucks to get in an accident, even if it's not your fault. My car's in the shop right now for it's little front end collision the other day. I funny how a low speed hit seems so violent and loud, then you get out of your car and look, and it doesn't really seem like the damage is equivalent to the sound. I agree though, it's funny how you can see the VW badge on your bumper. VW HHR? Good luck with everything!

Ouch!
I've got some rear damage similar to yours.
When I was down in SoCal, on Dec 29th we were our car shopping for our youngest daughter. On the way to Long Beach BMW to look at a used car they had, pulled in a driveway at the Buick dealer next door. Was going to back out, doing a 3=point turn. Numnuts in a BMW was doing the same thing I was and pulled in the driveway behind me - unfortunately I didn't see him. My tailpipe went through his bumper cover and his headlamp also got busticated. Then.....the guy claimed an injury with my ins. co.......

It had to happen sooner or later. Not a big deal, just a fender bender for me, but you oughta see the Volkswagon Jetta who didn't fit well into my back bumper. Crumpled nose, one part on the road, lotta damage.
I had a few scratches on that bumper; now they'll get painted free - cool!!
Wanna see something funny? You can see the VW logo in the picture, his car was so dusty

Hey, I exist only to entertain...
And, the replies make me smile too! Don, I can't believe it happened to you too!! Todd, I guess the visit to oily's has to be back-burnered.
Well, I guess if they don't call me, I'll give his Costco Insurance a ringie dingie on Monday...no return call from the adjuster yet.
