Oh no! Sorry to hear about this Waymon. It looks like a easy fix.

[BUCKWHEAT]

Waymon, that looks ugly. Keep us informed as to how it is going. The body shop shoudl be able to get you back together!

[Papillon]

Oh Waymon! I'm so sorry this happened! But as they say, as long as YOU'RE ok, that's what matters. I'm sure the car will come out looking good as new!

[J-MAN]

Glad you're OK. That may just buff out!

[justbob]

Oh man Waymon! Looks like a nice square hit at least. Just the header panel and grille?

This was posted live, in real time.

[SC Cheesehead]

Ah crap, Waymon, that's a dang shame...:(

Like the others have posted, at least you're okay; and I'm sure you'll be back up and ready for Looseville.

Keep us updated on the repairs.

Sorry to hear about this Waymon. Looks ugly, is the bumper cover salvageable?

[1stMerc]

Theres some of the support section that goes behind the grill that's pretty busted up. Hoping it will buff out :D
Two miles from work.

[Fosters]

Ouch, sucks to see that man... I'm surprised at the now damage on the mariner part. When I ran into the Escape I hadn't seen, it ended up with one wheel sitting at a 60 degree angle with the ground... :o

[vkirkend]

Waymon, glad to hear you're okay and that's the main thing.
Look on the bright side, Now you get to freshen up the paint job!!!!

[CBT]

Oooooooooooo, nasty. Hate to see it.

[Hacklemerc]

WEll that sucks Waymon. Was anyone cited in the accident?

[jimlam56]

Man, I know how much you baby your MM Waymon, good luck with the repairs.
If you don't go badgeless keep the remnants of the old grill as a donor grill...

[BODYMAN]

Glad youre OK Waymon! Thats minor damage even if rad supt needs replacing...

[pantheroc]

Damn Waymon, that sucks. Glad your okay bro.

[Go2GuyFL]

Si sorry to learn of your accident, Waymon. My wife really liked your car at MV-9. Glad your OK and should be back on the road shortly.

[1stMerc]

Preliminary report 2500. Know more after they can get the hood up (loop bent out of place). Definately the rad cover is toast. He may be able to do me a badgeless grill. Definately keeping the remants of the old one for a donor.
It's at Paul Cerame Ford, they do good work so shouldn't be a problem getting it done right.
Smalldog i'll let you know if i need the grill, thanks.
The firetruck that was the reson for this stopped in route to their destination to see if we were alright. 5 minutes later one of the fire house med units came by as well.
Incident happened right across the street form the main training facility and police station is a couple of blocks up the street. Still took 25 minutes for an officer to arrive on the scene right after we had moved the vehicles to a near by lot. A couple of officer's went by in the interim one with a big Shepard in the back.

Thanks everyone.

P.s they put me in a Chevy Traverse

[TAKEDOWN]

Glad you're okay, but I'm sure you'll have your MARAUDER lo0kin' better than ever!

From another post:
Here are your parts plus 2 bonuses
1) taking an abortion off the road
2) lots of spare parts to keep or sell
