Driving home the point: It’s just a car

Zachary Finn, director of commercial risk management at Henriott Group Inc., ignited hearts on LinkedIn on Thursday.
In a heartwarming post, Indianapolis-based Mr. Finn wrote “(a) young person rear-ended my brand new car yesterday. They were crying, I could tell they had other things they were dealing with. I wiped the bumper, it looked good enough and I found myself saying ‘whatever happened to you before now is in the past, this is the moment it all turns around. You’ll be alright, bring it in for a hug & get the heck out of here.’”
“As I always say, insurance is a great solution but it isn’t always the best tool for the problem. My back hurts a little today but the heart feels good.”
Within hours, the post garnered more than one hundred “likes” and reactions such as this one:
As posted by a project manager for a financial group: “20 years ago I was that kid in the fender bender on my way to buy an engagement ring for my now wife. Broke college student eager to start my new life and tapped a BMW with my hoopdie mobile. The owner got out and did the same thing you did...buffed out a small smudge with his finger and some spit, then wished me well in my new marriage. I only saw that man for 2 minutes of my life but never forgot that moment. Grace is contagious. I got bumped twice last year by different young drivers having bad days and was able to return the favor in both cases. Thanks for sharing!”
