Luckily I was pushed out of the way by the bumper, my precious baby that I just finished building up the way I like was completely destroyed though. Literally not a single part came out unscathed.

I'm heartbroken but completely unharmed. The company who employed the driver who hit me has agreed to pay the cost to replace it.
Wow oh my gosh. Glad you are ok. I know how that feels, got clipped by a car's mirror once. It took a little while to get comfortable riding after that, but I think that's normal. Hope you get a decent bike from this. Let us know how it turns out!
