How scary! I'm sorry about about your car, but it's a great thing that you're ok....

I'm so sorry Kim- but glad you're ok!
I also hate to give up a car once I'm used to it. This is why I drive my 11 year old 160000 miles BMW and hope to drive it for some more years. If someone hit my bumper it would be a total loss

Wow I also have a 2000 Grand Am (well, a GT) and I am very curious to see the pictures of the car if you get around to taking them... just to see how sturdy the car is! How fast was she going???

Because of the shock of the whole thing, I thought, oh...the Body Shop can just put new doors on it!

Well, the fender is also bent and the roof buckled a little and dad thinks the undercarriage might also have some damage.

Not sure how fast she was going. It sure looked like she was coming at me fast when I saw her out of the corner of my eye! I'd guess 20 mph.

Isn't that technically speeding in a parking lot, though? Isn't it a general rule that in parking lots the speed limit is 15MPH?

But ugh kind of scary nontheless

EDIT: Ah nevermind you had just pulled OUT of hte entrance, I thought you said you pulled UP to lol

Glad you're okay.

It sounds like the car has driven it's last mile. If the roof buckled, the unibody is probably damaged. Even if they did fix it, it would never drive the same again.

Yeah, I pulled out of one entrance and was already driving down the road when she pulled out of the other driveway and hit the side of my car.

I don't think she fully stopped to look for traffic... probably just yielded long enough and accelerated out and into me.
