Im ok physically...mentally depressed LOL...its nothing compared to your accident Mike....but it just sucks that it had to be RIGHT BEFORE Fall Colors....Ill be there...in an Accord...
But it just shows how that a 5 gallon bucket of paint can really do some damage since we have to real ground clearance.
DAMN!!! Really sorry to hear that man. The good side is that you are ok. The other good side is that it looks like you'll just have to replce the front bumper unless there is undercarriage damage that we can't see. Charlie can confirm this but it should only cost about $500 for a new fron end PAINTED. I was going to buy a new frontend online and it was only about $225. Don't worry, you'll be up and running in no time.
If only it was just front end damage Paulie...The AC condensor & Radiator are dented and pushed back about 5 inches into the engine. The two engine fans are bent up....its all screwed up under the hood....which doesnt close.. the latch is bent from the airbox being pushed up over the radiator.
I hope thats all....the body shop will put it on a lift tomorrow to check under the car, but I didnt see and fluids leaking out so hopefully thats a good sign. Ahhh well.......It could have been worst...so Im not that upset.
It just sucks that it wont be ready for Fall Colors....but Ill be there...just will miss the run on Sunday.
If all works out ok and WRXPaul doesn't make it do you want to be my co-pilot. I'm leading a MODERATE group and the course is 150 miles. I could use someone to help me. Let me know. That way you won't have to miss the run.
ouch...awww jay so sorry to hear about your accident im glad your ok...your baby will be back to normal in no time.....no more playing chicken with paint cans!
