Suuuucks. Awful nightmare. BTW, there is no micromanaging God. All the trouble in this measly world is manmade.

Wow, Chef... that sucks. Glad that you have identified the culprits... hopefully all will come out in the "wash" (ahhh... that's "body shop").

Glad no one was hurt,

Ugh. That sucks. Sorry to hear it. Have you bought your new bike yet? Maybe a new carbon fiber frame will help take your mind off of this for a bit!

Was supposed to pick it up today - a carbon Felt which fits perfectly - but that may have to happen tomorrow.

Sugar!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear about this... never fun. I remember parking my 1995, 993 and coming back to the parking with my old lady and her sister. I almost had a Marine Drill Instructor flashback, but I took it very well. Later that night my wife approached me and said, wow my sister taught you handled that so cool. She taught you would explode and break the parking attendants’ legs!

I told my wife that I would just make the P-car better by repainting the entire front end. O well what can I say... sorry it happened, but pretty sure you'll make it better by taking her to the BEST most expensive body shop you can find!!!!!!!!!

Not only are they making cars better today than yesterday but many body shops today are doing incredible work. It can be returned to its original glory.

Chef;

Accidents always suck, but on the bright side your car was parked and you or no one else was injured

I really feel for you. Spend the time and find the very best body shop you can. It will be worth it.

btw, did you lease it or buy your car?

Sorry my man s#it happens . As you and everyone said at least there were no injuries. Car parts can replaced and repaired. People parts sometimes can't.
Good Luck with the repair.
