So, I'm sitting at a red light, 1st in line, minding my own business, when a Saturn Vue comes flipping across the intersection!!! It lands on the car next to me(landed on the hood and totalled it) and kept coming at me. I quickly throw it in reverse(thankfully I have manual) and start backing up(no one was behind me) I backed up two feet when the Vue hit my front bumper. Scraped up my bumper a bit, and scraped my headlight. The guy in the Vue somehow wasnt hurt, and has insurance. The X3 is in the shop now, they are re-painting the hood, front bumper, and I had to send the headlights to Umintza to get the Angel Eyes re-glued on. I guess it could have been much worse!!

It's a shame about your damage but what about the person in the Vue? OMG! Good job on the quick thinking by the way.

The Vue of course was completly totalled, and the driver(there were no passengers) was ok at the scene, but apparantly was complaining of a stiff neck the next day as I was told by his insurance company- funny thing was that the Vue rolled over 3 times, and the head airbags did not deploy!

Glad to hear you are fine and X3 damages are minimal.

My X3 is still at the body shop getting repaired because a Saturn Vue driver rear-ended me. The Vue was totalled. Damages to my X3 is now at 5500.00 ...
