The good news is I got all the scratches and marks rubbed out of the paint with the exception of 3 spots with the paint scraped off. Also there is no damage underneath, all the Styrofoam is in tact. It didnt even break the tabs on the bottom of the bumper.
I don't have any pics now i'll have to get one tomorrow. Basically all that's left is the 3 black marks in the first pic.
My dad had the same luck years ago when he had his 90 or maybe it was a 92 Sunbird convertiable, he was driving home from gorcery shopping and a guy late for work in the other lane pulled in his lane trying to turn into his work entrance quick with a crappy s10 and totalled my dads car. Come to find out not only did the guy not have a lisc, he didnt have insuranc eon any of his cars and he was driving his friends (the s10) which also had no insurance. So the insurance company made us sue him to get anything for the car.

Justin I tried to add update the title but it didn't work and i didn't want to start a new thread about it

Mike If gas was cheaper Id be on my way.lol
Blackrain That sucks that your dad had to go through that. Maybe we should get a law passed that if you get caught with no insurance they take your car and auction it off and use the money to pay off the people these idiots wreck.

I had someone in a green car scrape my front bumper by the left fog light recently, made me so mad because they left without even leaving a way of contact. I didn't post pictures, but I did clean it the best I could with rubbing compound and cleaner wax, I did the best I could :/

Wow Lou, glad you and your Monte are OK. It's lucky nothing worse happened.

I know I am super cautious when I'm driving. I'm always looking behind me for anyone coming up fast. Somehow I have managed to park in Walmart parking lots for the past 2 years and escape any dents and scrapes. I even have my own little spot I always park in at the very end of the lot lol. I know if someone hit me due to not paying attention or something stupid like that, they'd better have life insurance too.

I cannot imagine the horrible feeling you must have felt when you walked behind your car and saw the damage for the first time
