I bet you would like to tell her where to put that trailer hitch. Sorry about your misfortune.

Well Paul, I think it is obvious. You need to get rid of it! Funny, I've always wanted one of those........

Sorry about the damage. Not a bad way to get a new grill.

It's a bit more than just the grill. The aux fan is pushed into the condensor (does not appear to be leaking so far). The radiator is pushed back so the fan shroud is rubbing on the PS belt. The hood is tweaked off center a bit. Progressive screwed us last time. This time I am prepared to be a real a-hole if necessary. Will call them tomorrow and see what happens. Stay tuned.

At first sign of ANY balking,file papers on them!

They do understand a summons!

"Mr. Palangi, it appears that you are at fault in this occurence because you drove your vehicle into the back of the vehicle owned by our insured............................."

Doesn't look too bad, unless there is radiator damage. You can get you a replacement grille from a W123 in a rear end wreck for less than a new one.

GASP!!! So sorry to see something like that. My story is a funny one. I had only just replaced my grill with a flawless, shiny one. On the hi-way, this bozo in a beaten up station wagon lost a hubcap and it bounced, and bounced.....guess where it hit me? My grill has a big ol' dent in it.
lesson: beware people with cheap-ass insurance.

I have Progressive Ins. and haven't had any issues. Of course I haven't had a wreck that was my fault either. Last time I got hit (pulling into the Euro auto parts parking lot for a part for the smoker) a little old lady ran into the back of me in my pickup. State Farm sure did a nice job though. However, I sure would much rather pay the Progressive premiums....
I'm not sure I would call it cheap-ass........
