Sorry to hear that, you don't want to go out tonight anyhow...amateur night what we call it here.
Did you stop by hospital? Maybe you should have.
Don't worry about car, doesn't look that bad. Always worse than it looks, these are tough cars.

I live in Kirkland a few blocks from Microsoft, the Accident happened in Woodinville Wine country :-D

As for the damage it goes all the way down to my side skirts, likely an alignment damage too since I was pushed from the side nearly hitting the center guard rail

Sorry to see that dude. At least you're okay and the damage appears minimal. A lot of IS's have been getting seriously messed up lately.

Hope you feel better, that's what is important.. The car will be an easy fix though, new door skin and black is an easy color to match.
