Might need some shitty wheels and tires and a few other small things in the very near future. We'll know for sure in a few days.

:cry:

Yes. :(

Never fear. . . within two hours of said incident, I already located a possible (and perhaps bettAR) replacement car not too far from us. Just need to find out if hers will be totalled or not.

What happened? Is she OK?

She's just fine. Just depressed and a little upset. Was making a free right turn via yield sign and looked left to gauge approaching traffic. Person in front of her made the turn, then stopped, suddenly. That's all I know at this time.

that's what happened, should find out by monday if it's totalled or not. :(

if i cant find a suitable touring wagon replacement, i think i'll pick up a brat for cheap and then dump a couple grand into making it really nice

That sucks. Sorry, Laurel. It's good that nobody was hurt though.

The damage doesn't look that bad. But if the radiator was pushed into the crank pulley it might be worse than it looks. :|

Awww.. .
that's such a bummer.. Seriously.
Good luck getting drunk.. I hear that helps sometimes.
Any chance of getting parts OUT of it, if it doesn't go the way you want?

i used to deliver parts to the body shop that I took it to, and saw the owners about 2x a day, and they like me, so chances are, they'll let me pull all of my aftermarket parts off and throw stock ones on before it gets hauled away if they cant fix it.

So if i dont end up getting another tw, i'll have whiteline control springs, kyb agx struts, and wrx seats up for sale

sorry to hear it but its not that bad. mine was worse and im still driving.

my fan guard has a dent in it from where it hit the pulley and the radiator is real close now becasue i didnt get it "properly" fixed. my hood looked the same as yours but my grille was demolished along with the passanger headlight and corner.

rough estimite on the damage is probaly about 1300 - 2300 tops. the single piece that the lights raditor and ac is attached to plus the labor to put it in is most of the cost.

Wow, this sucks. Sorry it happened but at least you're ok.

And damn it, both my cars are white and I only dress like girl on the weekends!
