This 1974 1.8, 400,000 mile car was Betty's pride and joy. It was a survivor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

@ClayPerrine was driving yesterday. @Betty was at home. No injuries. Struck from behind by an inattentive driver while stopped at a light.

Glad Clay is okay. Heartbroken for Betty.

Glad no injuries. Sad day for the teener. Time for a replacement, swap parts over and it will feel the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

This was a huge hit, glad Clay wasn't injured! Engine compartment now full of cat litter! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) Perp's insurance settlement should at least buy Betty a new Boxster!

Sorry this happened to you guys.

At least no one was hurt. Our little cars really absorb impact helping the passengers from a front or rear impact.

As long as everyone is OK, then it is just metal (albeit precious metal).
Metal can be repaired or replaced. Clay can't.
