They got more miles by air than they do by ground by the time we get done!

 

The shocks and springs seems to be ok.

 

dude seriously...

if i were you i'd go two notches above 'APE ****' when i see him...

 

It already made a total of three round trips across the US.

 

Also, it looks like he hit something other than a car.

 

really!? that's cool...

the frame looks to be damaged obviously - but hows your axels and control arms? not bent right? hopefully not - any damage to the passenger side door? sometimes when there's damage to the front fender it pushes back the passenger side door -

 

yeah seriously...whatever it was...it won

 

Actually, the suspension seems pretty bad. I only have my cell phone to take pictures but the linkage and some other stuff are pretty damaged...

 

When he dropped it off he didn't tell you what happened? What the hell....

 

That's what I'm wondering...


"damn, i wrecked his car. Maybe he won't notice if I just leave it in the driveway"

 

It looks like the car understeered into a wall or something. Definitely feels like a one car accident or else he would've have just discreetly returned it.

 

Any possible way his insurance can cover it at all, or your insurance? This is the exact same reason why I won't let my brother borrow my car without me at all. I'm hoping for the best for you John! Get that bad boy fixed out of critical condition!

 

DAAAAYUM! that sux big time!

 

i say it was rx8 vs guardrail

 

If any of these spots are even remotely bent (marked in red) . . . . . I am sorry for your loss

If the frame is bent . . .. I am sorry for your loss

 

yes, i'm sorry to say but it looks like you do have minor frame damage. it seemslike an easier fix that you would think, but my guess would be 12k in repairs. i'm upping the price because many shops do not have a lot of experience with rx8s. but anyway

im sorry about your crash....if i were you id bitch slap my friend who borrowed the car.

and it doesn't matter how good of a friend he is to you, make HIS insurance pay for EVERYTHING. he needs to be taught a lesson, and if wasn't your fault it got crashed, so yeah...again im sorry

 

dude!!!!!!! WTF!!!! HAPPEND???? i cant believe this happend from the time you dropped me off to right now!!!!WTF!!! sooo wierd cus we were talkin about your car last night and this happens.....dude that really sux dude!!

 

Yeah there's for sure some frame damage. Especially noticing your strut tower was moved. *sigh* I'm sorry john but your friend should be taking care of this entirely for you. I wouldn't even let him meet me half way, make his insurance cover it all!

 

if not.... I'm sure you know someone with a shovel and a big backyard

 

why would you use your backyard....go to an old army battleground so its nothing suspicious...

not like, i would know or anything :P

 

I know if those are hid headlights, they're a grand a pop.

 

 

I say total it and make him buy you a new one. I absolutely refuse to own any car with frame damage.

 

Wow that totally sucks. I would make him pay for it because it was his fault.

 

Well, I just got back from his place. Luckily, we sat down and had a long discussion... man the tension over his dining table was insane. We called the HIS insurance company and they decided to pay for my damage. So basically, his insurance company is going to cover everything... now, unfortunately his insurance company does not provide me with a rental and I'm afraid to drive my other car (240SX with an RB20 Swap) since it's super unreliable...

How bad would a car be with some frame damage? I know the structural rigidity of the car will go down but how much? I don't really track the car (Once in a year for fun or so) and it's mostly used as a daily driver.
