Well, the project I was working on in Baltimore ended today so my co worker and I were on our way back to MI, with a stop in Washington, PA to inspect another project we did a couple months back. He was following me in the company piece of shit 3/4 ton Chevy van I sold them a year ago. I was in the '03 Saab I bought 2 months for work. We made it to PA without a problem and were exiting the freeway to check in to our hotel rooms for the night. I pull up to the stop sign and wait for traffic to clear and then...SMACK! He plowed into me at 10- 15 MPH. At least I wasn't in the supra.
My first impression was that someone behind him must have pushed him into me. So we pull over and I get out to look at the damages. Suprisingly all my lights still work, but the rear end is thrashed pretty good. No one hit him though. Apparently his shoe got caught on the corner of the brake pedal and he couldn't unstick it fast enough to stop.
I called my boss and told him what happened. I asked if they just wanted to just pay the deductable so my co-worker doesn't get any points or a ticket. Nope...he's screwed. So we're going to file a report in the morning since we had to get to the jobsite after the accident.
The damages :3d_frown:
Before:
The guy that hit me wants to report that he backed into me in a parking lot to avoid a ticket. Do you guys think that's a bad idea?
Let's have a contest to see who can guess the cost of repairs. I'm going with $2750.... when guessing note that Saab charges $8 for a hex screw to mount the license plate.

) trim and paint. my guess is 5300 minimum without the frame getting hurt. All of those parts being new OEM.
