    Another one bites the dust!

    Well my DTR is a total loss. I'm OK and no injuries. It was a hit and run. One of the three witnesses got the tag number.

    Was rear ended last Thursday afternoon while heading home. I was slowing down to make a left turn and was hit in the rear which sent me sailing. The road had just been repaved a week or so earlier and was like ice. The wheels on the passenger side both hit the curb and I jumped it and ended up about 10 feet off the road. For the most part I remember the whole ride being smooth even though looking at the car it looks pretty bad and took a big hit.

    I will find out tomorrow the value and what I can buy the car back for.

    That really sucks, I've been rear ended before which is not fun at all. At least you are alright.

    Thanks for all the well wishes. We now have a partial police report and can see that the person was apprehended. I don't know anymore than that at this time.

    I'm grateful that three people stopped to give information to the police.

    Sorry to hear and see that. Glad you are ok.

    The sad reality is the person probably has no insurance or no lisence. That's probably why they left the scene.

    Good luck.

    Glad you're OK but go visit your Doctor anyway sometimes whiplash takes a couple days to kick in.

    Hard to tell from the pics but is all the damage related to the trunk lid, bumper and exhaust. Might be able to fix that unless there is damage that isn't visible in the pics.
