I guess the curse of silver strikes again
SUV on highway hitting me at about 35-40mph same deal. I was on my way to happy weekend at ocean city. Had to get car towed all the way back to my house... sad sad day.

Dang, this is really starting to become amazing. There has got to be something with people being able to see the sunlight silver.

I'm so sorry man, I hate seeing this. Hopefully the rims and spoiler are salvagable. Looks like they may be.

That looks pretty serious. I'm sure you're damaged emotionally, but are you ok physically?

the thing is my insurance company only covers up to $3500 for uninsured motorist damage, and the estimate came out to $6400. so i guess putting it under collision and paying my deductible will be better off.
