Default RIP... for now. Accident Pictures.

So, as stated in OT, I wrecked my S the other night.

Here are the pictures so far, I'll have onsite pictures soon.
I'll keep everyone updated with news as I get it. As soon as insurance comes to check out the car, it should be a relatively short ordeal to get her back on the road.




Headlights seem to be fully intact... phew!




Blitz is toast.








This should be the only thing I can't fix on my own.






This makes me cry... Will most likely end up getting hacked and slashed to fit the AE86 while it's N/A.


Crunched trunk...










Sheared off my mirror.


Strut bar seems straight at all 4 points and everything mechanical is intact. Car runs and drives seemingly fine.


My primary concern is how this wheel is sitting...

Parts list so far:

Front fenders, rear drivers quarter, F&R bumper, front lip, headlight bracket?, hood, door, window (thank you, head), maybe trunk/spoiler, trunk pan section, gas door, taillights, side marker, lip for front drivers wheel (if not a new set, there's one with the same offsets FS now), exhaust (I might bend the tip out temporarily depending on what I can do w/ the insurance check).

The headlights seem intact. phew
The zeals seem intact. phew
The blitz's are intact aside from that one lip. phew

The frame seems alright, the hood opens and closes, along with the trunk, gaps on passenger side seem just fine, and the top went up and latched without a hitch.
So, that along with the fact that it runs and drives, makes me happy.

anyone have any feedback as to if it might be totaled? Also, what are your thoughts on that front drivers wheel? I can't really get under it and check and I can't mess with anything before insurance comes.

thanks guys, she'll be back soon.

I'm fine except for a minor concussion and cut from my head breaking the drivers glass.

I hope it's not totaled, too, but if it is, oh well. facelift is coming either way.

I went into a turn, not even going too fast, but I hit a dip, which threw the weight transfer off, swinging my ass end out, but I was going too fast to correct. went off a ditch and through a fence.

Man this exact thing happened to me minus the fence when I had Nexen's on the rims I got from Matt, I got lucky though, I missed a light pole with the rear by about an inch! went through a shallow ditch and ended up in their driveway. Didn't hurt the S amazingly.
