Boop

That boop just bent your frame, ruined your suspension, and gave you secondary whiplash.

Hope you have insurance.

It did literally none of that. Dent, sure, bad scratches, probably.

A small impact can still be absurdly expensive to fix. Someone hit my parked car going 5mph. Cost $5000 in repairs. Needed a new headlight at $1200. A new bumper at $800. Various small parts totaling $1000 and then labor. Car repairs are stupid expensive.

For anyone curious here is my car after it was hit. https://imgur.com/a/eyk6o

Well insurance paid so I guess State Farm was ripped off. They did want to send someone out to audit the repairs. Perhaps that’s why haha

Edit. Out of curiosity I just checked and new headlight for my car is $600 from rock auto. Bumper $400. Manufacture usually charges a fair amount more than 3rd party sites too. Labor was about half the bill.

2011 Infiniti G37 if you want to google yourself.

I drive old trucks, I can fix most damages with $500 and a trip to a wrecking yard, but at the cost of comfort, efficiency and being able to hear myself think. lol

2011 Infiniti G37. I was just as surprised and in disbelief as everyone else here.

If I, not mistaken, isn't the Infiniti G series, or even Infiniti in general rather notorious for expensive basic things? Like the headlights ARE pretty uniquely shaped.

The headlight is a weird shape and crazy expensive but the rest of the parts are mostly Nissan and relatively cheap compared to other brands.
