Ah, Maine. Land of beauty, land of lobsters, ever-changing weather, and at least 1 bad driver.
I took some damage today. 
My last accident was 14 years ago.
It was around 5:30pm in Augusta, ME. After snapping some photos of the beautiful Maine Capitol Building, I entered the traffic circle nearby. It had 2 lanes, an inner and outer lane. I stayed on the outer lane so I could see where I needed to get out of the circle to get back to 95 to head back towards Portland.
I was in my lane, and the next thing I knew, a Saturn in the inner lane tried to make an exit. Her right front hit my driver's door. I saw it happening, but I couldn't go anywhere or do anything about it. I'm not quite sure how she thought she could go through me.
She says I hit her.
Anyways, the major impact was around the hinge portion of the driver's door/driver's fender. It looks worse now because I had to bend it to get the door open.
Pictures to come at some point. I'm depressed.
And it's been such a good trip up to this point.

Don't let it get you down...deal with it when you get home. Chitty. :/
If she's gonna be a b*tch, take it straight to her ins. company...hopfully w/ police report. If you need an expert report to strengthen your case, lemme know.
