I remembered to take photos of the Prius. Here’s the damage:
You’ll note that the mirror is gone, and the fender and door are smashed enough that you can’t open the door. Let’s look at the back side.
The part over the tire was bent enough that it rubbed against the tire if there was weight in the back, but Sam used his brute strength to pull it more into alignment.
So, it doesn’t look so bad, but it’s around $7500 plus our $1000 deductible. The gobbledygook report from the big insurance company came in, and I sure seems to me that it is totaled, but the human representative in town is going to look into it and make sure.

Dang.
