2 airbags went off.

something I couldn't get in the pics is that the plastic upper intake manifold is actually stripped off the LIM.. so the damge is a bit more extensive then what is in these first few pics.. I will try to get better pics tomorrow.

i'm sure at 75% value of the car they can fix it.. but i'm wondering if I would be comfortable driving a car where nearly 10,000$ in repairs was needed... and I say that without even having GAP coverage.

well hail damage is mostly outer body work, no?

my battery completely leaked out.. it was punctured. the entire intake tract is screwed.. including the throttle body and as I mentioned before the UIM.. it was "stripped" off the LIM.. not quite sure what happened there. the fusebox was decimated. a/c condenser completely purged. all my coolant leaked out.. not sure from where yet. i'm just trying to give a bit more of an idea of the damage that can't be seen in the pics.

Total it? I HIGHLY doubt that is totaled.

MOST of the damage appears to be cosmetic and will not effect the way the car drives at all as long as the frame is not bent...


looks like a good excuse to get a body kit and hood IMO

If they do total your car I would buy some of your pc stuff id you'd sell. I've already lined up a nav housing ( am doing the exact same screen and setup you did) so I can't screw the guy. But I might be interested in the computer itself... that is of course, if you are selling, and if it is totaled....

But I'm really sorry to hear about that, that is the worst feeling.
But you're ok?

all that damage was caused by a TOW HITCH from a pickup truck. the pickup truck had 0 damage. I pretty much drove under the damn thing

the guy in front of him stopped suddenly.. so he stopped.. I slammed on my brakes.. boom. this was on the on ramp for the expressway.
