Thanks for the well wishes! My back is sore from shoveling snow-not the accident and am going to see the chiro today anyways! I dont have a picture of the F150 but he tried to avoid me and hit his front left side. His damage is just as bad as mine. His front right side ended up in a snowbank as he tried to avoid hitting me. He was probably on his cell phone but I cant say that because I wasnt looking back. There was no excuse for hitting me. He had been following me for a long time, even getting off the same highway exit. He did call it in to his insurance because when I git home and called, the insurance company already had a claim number and set me up with a rental. I dropped my Runner off at the local body shop where I know them from my el camino and past repairs to my CRV. I am hoping my body shop guy can get the rear quarter panel replaced as well since there is a small krinkle there. The body shop guy says that most likely, the tail gate hatch will be replaced by a used one, which he says is better than a new aftermarket one for quality and fitment. He did say the rear mount underneath may have been hit a bit but will have to see once up on the lift. The metal bumber can be repaired (not the coverings). He is going to have to remove the key switch and replace into the new hatch. The hatch was developing a little rust bubble above the window on the left side (typical spot) so a replacement hatch may be a good thing as it will be all repainted and look new again. Still sucks though- the insurance appraiser cant even get to the body shop until next week. At least they are setting me up today with a rental SUV from Enterprise.
