Thanks A Lot, Buddy

Any guesses as to how much it'll cost to fix this?

That black cloud that's been following Dad around lately (bike crash, sleeping problems, etc.) finally let rain pour down on him this morning.

He was driving to work normally enough, when the guy in front of him decided to slow down, then stop, then put his 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser in reverse.

Realizing (too late) that this monster of a vehicle was about to crush the front end of his new (really used, but it looked new) 2002 Kia Spectra, Dad laid on the horn. It was a sound that only served to warn the neighbors of the impending crash.

As you can see from these pictures, the damage was fairly substantial. Fortunately, Dad was not hurt and the nice gentleman driving the Land Cruiser (note the change in tone) will be having his insurance pick up the tab for the repair and a rental car. Oh, and he will be paying a little fine to go along with his inability to drive like the rest of us.
