Accident Evaluation

How much money in damage does this look like? I know the radiator is done and the front bumper but anything else serious ? This is my first accident

Condensor, radiator, front bumper, under tray and other hardware. May find other items when you start digging. Easily a couple grand, but that's why you have insurance (hopefully!)
What did you hit?

Thats what I hit. I'm really pissed off because I was only going 25mph and the road was wet..

That picture is ******* hilarious for some reason. What the hell is a rock doing there, and what the hell was an RX8 doing there too?
Doesn't seem too bad though.
Front bumper for sure.
Radiator (and maybe pipes)
Condenser (and probably pipes as well)
How are the radiator fans looking?
How is the right oil cooler looking?

Man that is brutal. But as other people said your probably looking at a few grand. Some lady backed into me last year in a parking lot and totaled my front end and just a new bumper installed and painted cost her almost $1000
Wow these cars are soft.. The main frame is bent I'm pretty sure because the air box looks a little sideways and when I close the hood the drivers side headlight is popping out a little and the passengers side is too in


or invest in a Bobcat
The 8 probably isn't significantly softer or harder than any other modern car. Remember, compared to yesteryear, cars are designed to be "soft" in the sense that they now absorb the forces of impact before they reach you and your passengers.
I think it's true that cars from half a century ago were stronger and fared much better in parking lot speed collisions. (Bumpers were obviously stronger). But in a crash at speed, that hard frame (and bumper) resulted in injuries far more serious.

plus you hit a huge boulder.
its a possibility that the headlight probably popped out because the tabs holding in the bumper(which are under the headlight) got mangled.
