Default Girl took out the Vette.

Well I bought this 3 weeks ago and a girl already took it out. I was cut off by a Focus turning infront of me, I locked up the brakes swerved to the left and missed it. Then a Focus hit me from behind at about 45-50mph while I was at a dead stop.

P.S. I HATE FOCUS.

I'm not trying to be a smart ***, but the Focus driver COULD argue that you swerved in front without signalling a lane change...hard to prove for the Focus driver, but still a possibility...

They are estimating around 10 grand worth of damage if not totalled.

I forgot to mention that 2 other cars behind me missed me and then she hit me.

If they total the car that might not be all that bad, other than having to buy a new one. If they do not total it be sure to seek "deminished value."

Yup, you got hit from the rear, she is automatically at fault.

Wreck looks pretty bad, rear subframe damage somewhere in there for sure....at least the A-arms.
