Short distance was very, very short.
It wasn't apparent to me that there was any damage from inside the car and I didn't get out to look at it until I pulled it into a parking spot. And when I said 'a short distance' I meant 10 feet, to a parking space.

Wow. Big difference from the ballpark I got.

That's a much lower estimate than I got form the dealer (~$8k). This should be interesting. Thanks for taking the time to put that together.

Sorry, bad things happen....

I hope your insurance will cover repair cost.

I wouldn't have moved an inch, but I guess that's not bad. I was just thinking about how I've read threads where people drove like 2-3 miles w/ the engine overheating, or guys w/ their transmission making grinding noises and still driving it for another couple of weeks w/ the radio turned up to drown out the noise.

That sucks it happened though. Hopefully it's not too huge of a repair bill.

Did you see his previous post? Looks like the dealer said around $8k.

WOW...missed that one. Isn't it just one arm that is broken? What all are they wanting to replace anyways? I hope insurance will cover this.
