I don't like being in car wrecks. They hurt, and cause all matter of issues in getting the claims resolved. Thankfully, I have been involved in only two major collisions, where the vehicle was totalled. I've been in two other incidents as well, one being blown off of an icy road in Wyoming in a semi, and the most recent, getting tapped in the rear in the unmissed VUE. The damage to the big truck was minor, from the trailer pushing it into a jackknife in the median, and the rear ender didn't even put a scratch on the Saturn.
I agree. I unfortunately was tapped in my VUE a few weeks ago, resulting in my brand new hatch being trashed. All of this after just spending nearly $2,000 getting the hatch replaced from the idiots playing football, add in the new front clip and interior parts from my collision in May, and yea, I am getting a bit pissed that the harder I try to keep mine nice the more people keep screwing it up.

That is such a sad loss for the 240D, but rather than arguing over whether the damages matches the injuries, let's argue that the car did its job and gave its life to keep the occupants safe.
