Congrats! That driver, that hit you, a soon as see you new ride will think: "DAM I T-boned him and he got a new car!!! I wish someone T-bone me ..." LoL...
And on the serious note - Good luck with a new car!!! ... I've heard that "you have to grab a hummer and hit it under somewhere lightly so it will not be hit later..."
