unfortunately my lovely SRT was t-boned on the passenger side in a low speed shunt… 
back in May on the way to a club meet, the viper sustained some pretty major and very expensive damage that totted up to a huge sum that made it beyond economical sense to the insurance company to cover the repair cost, so was paid off last week
The car was stripped down to show the full extent of the damage and the assessor priced up the parts at Chrysler UK, which included the passenger door and glass $6K, both front and rear wings $7.5k per piece, the side fender $7K, the magnesium bulkhead which the dash is attached to had cracked, new front screen and a screen surround, but worst of all a dink in the chassis $28K it also had a dent in the floor pan.
During the accident the passenger door had pushed onto the interior plastics and had also caused some damage there, visually travelling as far as the stereo. Luckily no passenger on this trip !
The guy got upto $80K in parts alone and was still going so he called it a day.
Its now classed as a Cat C here, though expensive to repair with new parts it can be rebuilt and put back on the road, the SRT is now up on a traders/insurance auction which ends tomorrow, so someone will either strip it down for parts or I think more likely rebuild it using 2nd hand parts
still pretty miffed even now as I know that car was a good ‘un !
and had spent a few bucks getting it upto scratch, its practically impossible to replace over here espicially with the US dollar exchange rate being naff for us
