Unhappy Bad Day :(

Well I found out what happens when you hit the sand barrels on the off ramps. So i'm thinking its gonna cost me about 1k to fix it since I don't have to pay for labor. I hit the barrel at about 40 doesn't look like there is frame damage but I haven't got it up on the lift yet.

Here is a side view you can see that the bumper is farther out on the driver side. I don't understand why since thats the side i hit on.

Unhappy

Yikes!

Aw maaaaan!



That makes me just sick for you.

I think I just went thru the fives phases of grief for your hood and front end.

But the good side of it is, we don't have to grieve you, your passengers or the car.

I was driving down the freeway trying to get into may lane to get off my exit. I finally got over at the last second. Then the car behind me desided to speed up behind me so i sped up. Then i pulled into the exit a little to fast since the guy behing me was on my *** one of the barrels was out a little to far and i hit it.

Sorry to hear about it, but thankfully everybody is OK.

I think you're going to be shocked if you intend on getting OEM replacement parts. From the looks of things the parts alone will probably be between $2000 to $3000.

Post back.....I'm interested to find out how close I came to this estimate.

$2500, and I'm normally quite accurate
