That sucks. As long as no one was hurt. That'll buff right out. The pic on the right looks like nothing happened. The pic on the left, well .........
I don't think a fog kit would have prevented the collision. But you might as well get it during the repair. Of all things to hit. A RAM.

Dude! Not having your Passat is not cool. My Passat coming out of the shop on Monday. It's been since June 29th when I last drove it. That's too long.

Thumbs down

Everyone needs to be very careful out there. Parts are very scarce out there, matter of a fact hoods are out 4 weeks. I really hope I have it to cruise Labor Day weekend. The OUTBACK really stinks on fuel economy.

Up late and looking at threads for other cars...
I'll second the part availability problem. I had a minor "altercation" on July 21st and only got my Jetta back today because the wheels were on back order.

Good reason to drive defensively, I swear today was "aim at the guy in the new car" day.

Thankfully, they all missed.
