My poor car

I got in a wreck a few days ago and rear ended someone that decided to stop in the middle of the road. Here's some pictures of my car after I removed the plastic part of the bumper. My frame is still straight and the crash didn't reach my radiator so my engine and everything still works fine. Just need to find some parts and a new paintjob and I think it'll look good again. It still makes me cry everytime I look at it. The last picture is what it looked like before the crash.

Just curious, did the other guy get a ticket, and if so, use the insurance money and get a nice hood. good luck

Alright I'll answer the question about the ticket. I actually got the ticket for the accident for "inattentive driving" and the ticket is 110 bucks. Pretty much around here, if you're the one that rear ends someone, you're the one that gets the ticket. According to the lady I hit, the car infront of her didn't have brake lights so she hit her breaks pretty hard. I didn't realize she was coming to a stop and hit the brakes too late. I thought I might actually stop before I hit her but didn't. I was probably going around 10 mph or less when I hit her is what I'm guessing, but I'm not exactly sure on that. She had a 2002 Grand Cherokee so I didn't damage much except for her hitch, exhaust tip, and bumper.

Sorry for all the other crashes out there. I guess there's just too many drivers on the road during the holiday season.
