Yup, you guys are right. It doesn't really matter---just curious as to how it could be---never saw such damage when one car was parked---but it probably is mostly the SUV to regular sedan ratio.

We were allowed to leave before her, so not sure if she got a ticket. Again, it doesn't really matter.

Waiting to hear from her insurance (Liberty Mutual).

Just so ironic---we try not to drive late at night, in rain, etc.---and then our car possibly gets totalled at 6 p.m. in an almost deserted parking lot! You just never know. Just grateful taht we weren't injured...

Considering the large weight difference between vehicles, 10mph might have been ample.

What is it with Tahoes anyway? Every other one I see has at least one corner with damage on it.

OUCH!!

That really looks like she backed into you. Can't imagine the front end doing that and not having more damage than you described.

Which makes it interesting if the front of her car was facing yours. Did you see her back bumper? It looks like she was slowly backing into/pushing into your car. If it was at a high speed I would expect the left signal light would have shattered.

Yes, she backed into us----a few scratches on her back bumper and some of the tail light damaged. The car definitely was pushed---about 45 degrees to the left. I know bumpers get damaged in parking lots but this was crazy. I wouldn't love my car getting dinged in the lot, but coming out and seeing that it was turned to an angle taking up two parking spaces instead of the vertical one space parking we left it in made it all that much worse.

Actually, it doesn't look TOO bad. New trunk lid, bumper, tail light. Quarter looks a little damaged... hard to tell though. At least the impact was mainly to the trunk lid.

What part of the woman in the SUV admitting to her foot slipping on the accelerator and didn't want her to call the police, didn't you get from the OP?
