I got hit from behind by a RX300 about 4pm yesterday. Both of her airbags deployed and bumper damage for her. I recieved a couple scrapes on the bumper and it looks like the bumper's "core support" was impacted as well. The exhaust is louder and I suspect it is cracked/bent. This was a hard hit! I suffered no injurys and am waiting to hear from her insurance!  All the best, Aaron Lephart

Got a call today, all fault was claimed by the other driver. Goes into the bodyshop for estimate on Monday. I can tell its going to be pricey, the muffler alone is $1040.00! All the best, Aaron Lephart

I went in yesterday for a estimate. I did not have any further info until today to report! The prelim estimate is $1340.00 and thats how much is being sent to me. Upon actually going into the bodyshop for repair any further damaged will be added on. The current estimate is cosmetic damage only. This does not take into account the bumper core support and exhaust that is suspected by me to be damaged. All the best, Aaron Lephart

OK the car got taken to a preferred repair facility of my smart center. Upon further inspection they have found about $4000.00 worth of damage. The parts are on order and I have a new Chevy Cobalt as a loaner car. It's expected to take 2 weeks. Oh BTW having owned nothing but GM for 14 years I have to say the Cobalt is pretty nice little car. WORLDS above GM from 1988-2004. All the best, Aaron Lephart

I got the Minnow back today. They did a great job with the repair. The total bill came to $4000.00 which her insurance (Allstate) is paying. All the best, Aaron Lephart

After driving the car for a few days I must say they did a great job on the repair. No squeaks, no rattles (I mean more then usual) and no unusual road noise. I am glad to have it back! All the best, Aaron Lephart
