Well that could have been MUCH worse

Short form: I was in a car accident last night on the way home from work. There's some damage to the car but it's driveable and I'm unscathed. I was stopped at a red light, the middle car of a line of three, when someone plowed into the back car in the line.
( Gory details, partly for my own records )

Next up, filling out the MASSDOT "Motor Vehicle Crash Operator Report" which has to be done any time there's an accident that causes over $1000 in damages or someone was killed or injured. Annoying, but man that could have been much worse.
