Whew, glad you're ok. That definitely could've been worse. That incident would've destroyed my aftercooler water pump and probably my heat exchanger...So on the bright side, at least you don't have that to replace!

Keep us updated with the repairs!

Thanks everyone.

Well, the estimate wasn't as bad as I expected, but it's still not good. The bumper is obviously gone and the fender needs some work (including a whole new liner). The front tire/rim is gone, and the rear driver's side rim got curbed pretty badly too. The worst thing is that the outer tie rod ends and sway bar links received some damage too. I was assured that the suspension is fixable, but I'm worried about the car not handling the same once it's repaired... I hope the full alignment will make any issues obvious.

Darrin's working hard to get the car done by next week... I hope to see you all at Cars n' Coffee!

As long as the frame is straight and they replace the parts you should be good to go.

Have they put it on the frame machine yet and taken any measurements?
