Accident photo from December

I thought I'd show the photo of the accident last December, which is responsible for the big gash in the body. The accident was caused by a pickup truck which pulled out of a driveway in front of me, stopped and then backed up onto me. Since then I've been extra careful when stopping behind a large vehicle - the key is to stop far enough so that you can see the rear-view mirror of the vehicle.

The whole top half of the body is a single fiberglass part. The replacement finally arrived last week, so I will be replacing it over the next week or so. It is not a trivial job, as I need to drill matching bolt holes to the new body panel.
