Got Rear Ended Friday Night!

It's frustrating and disappointing to be involved in any collision, esp one not your fault.

I've been through this several times. Most severe was almost totaling out my camaro many years back.

At the end of the day, it's just a car, get over it. No loss of life.

Make sure all damages are repaired to bring the car back to precollision condition. Once repairs are done, make sure you try to collect for diminished value.

From the pics, it doesn't look like the damage is overly severe. I doubt there was any subframe damage. How fast was the guy going who hit you?

Also, make sure you go to the doctor asap to get checked out. Often times symptoms show up after the adrenaline has worn off.

Being the Z and my first time, it's overly hard.

How does one collect for diminished value?

I'm hoping.

Dunno. Not too fast. I'd guess more than 5 but less than 10.

I will do that.
