Ouch!
Very unfortunate indeed. I wonder how many other IE's will suffer the same fate of getting their a** smashed in.
The times I count my lucky stars in regards to avoiding accidents is when I wash my vehicle. Always very nice to feel with hands on original factory body without noticing damage.
IMO, it would be nice to see before and after pics in regards to this new repair project. Hopefully, the impact was absorbed via bumper so the damage didn't spread the rear quarter panels.
This is why I drive with my eyes ALWAYS scanning in rear view mirror for oncoming retards. However, I know this type of accident is very difficult to avoid. :indifferent:
Good luck on body work.
