Oliver is in Critical Condition

Oliver, my car, a car that survived a 16,000 mile road trip across the United States, was critically injured today on my commute home. We were rear-ended. I still have a mild headache several hours later but Oliver can no longer close his trunk and has lost the use of all rear-lights. It is a pretty significant injury. I have to report the accident tomorrow to the assailant's insurance company and then I guess find out if Oliver can be saved after they come out and take a look. In all fairness the person driving the other car, while totally at fault, was very shaken and contrite. It doesn't help Oliver but I was courteous and really don't really feel that bad, considering how much I love that car.
