Add my M6 to the list of M cars that have recently been rear-ended. I was stooped at a light in Easthampton, NY, when it suddenly felt like the engine shut off. Then I notice a 10-year old Jeep Grand Cherokee planted in my rear bumper. I get out of my car, and my pristine rear bumper is now scratched.
The woman driving Jeep had a cigarette in her had, and claimed her foot had just slipped off the brake. But looking at her, and watching her demeanor, she clearly looked drunk. Then, as a wonderful coincidence, there were two policemen right across the street, so I got their attention, and told them my suspecions. To make a long story short, they arrested her for driving under the influence, and at least my accident had the benefit of getting a drunk driver off the road before she caused serious damage. |

Have LEOs friends on LI and apparently mid-life wives driving drunk or on pills/ medication is a pervasive problem. |

UPDATE
Body damage $6k, diminution in value: TBD. 3-4 week job for the body work and they still need to determine if there is any suspension damage, which would increase the cost and repair time!
ADV1 wheel replacement/tire/TPMS: $3,700: 3-4 week build time for one wheel. Hopefully sooner. I am now looking into changing the face/lip color combo with the help of Matt from ADV1. How about matte black face with bronze lip?

 It will be about another 1-2 weeks for the body work and 2 weeks for the new wheel. Ughhhh  Did I mention that the Porsche driver did NOT have any insurance?

 They could at least cover the doors with something, so that natural elements don't get inside the car. Oye!
