Well, somebody had to be first...my Supra hit

So, it’s in the body shop today—finally, after several shops turning it down because “we ain’t worked on one” or “we don’t do aluminum” or “there are no parts for that” and so on and so on.

I got hit on the rear driver side (by a SUV) pretty much dead on on the wheel. Minimal body damage, mostly paint, a couple of dents, and unknown damage to everything behind the wheel.

Yep.

So far I know the wheel is getting replaced and the whole bumper too because of the paint by the reflector.

Could be worse.

Make a diminished value claim with the insurance company. The accident will show on a carfax and could/will lower the resale/trade value. They will offer you a lowball amount but counter back.

Keep the wheel if they replace with a new one.

That’s what I did when my 86 was rear-ended.

Don't tell Toyota(shhh)

Damn dude, that sucks. I know you were probably thinking, you gotta f-ing be kidding me.

Hopefully it won't take too long to fix. Good luck!

There is always worst.
