I wouldn't be caught dead in one.
X2. They are death traps. I saw one hit a pot hole on the interstate and almost lose control. They should come with eject handles...

Nothing to see from my accident. Plastic is crushed. Crush cans put perfect circles in the plastic.

Smart car is probably totaled. Passenger door crushed and the "cage" pushed in about 6 inches.

Pictures look almost normal.

Even a little smart car could cause some serious damage depending on the collision. So only jump onto the accepting a check idea if you're certain nothing else potentially much more expensive is wrong.
Not true. The at fault party's insurance company owes for all damages related to the loss. Doesn't matter whether they are discovered immediately or later in the repair process. There are limitations to this that vary by state, but for example an insurance company can't just write you a $500 check because that's all the damage they can see in the initial inspection, and then tell you to stick it in your rear when you find out the frame was bent.

You can guess what I now do for a living!

Time to figure out which bumper I want. I am leaning toward the PS Brawler Lite.
