Wow. I saw the picture and got instantly saddened...but as it's been said....good thing nothing happened to you. A testament to the safety of a lot of steel around you even if we don't no fancy new-fangled "ayyyyyr-baaygs" or "launch controlll" (wait huh? :hick: ) and...yeah if the frames fine that's what bumper header panel lights grill. Done. I suppose I'll throw it out there that I have been starting to stockpile headlights so I've got a couple real nice ones too. Would be happy to part with them on an occassion like this!

The grill...definitely shouldn't be a problem finding one of those..on ebay all the time...then ya just gotta get it painted like the original one was. :D

Glad your OK. It's just a small repair. It'll be alright

I'll tell you guys what. You're alright. Helping Samantha out like this is great. That's just one of the many reasons I love this board. There are so many great people.

Like the other guys said Sam, I'm really glad that you're alright. Like Vinnie said, your Cat just suffered a flesh wound. It won't take much work to get it back together.

That sucks. I know how you feel I wrecked my car once and it was painful to see it all crumpled up...but as everyone else has said, at least you are OK.

The important thing is that everyone was ok. The car is no biggie in comparison.

The main thing is, like everyone has said, no one was hurt in the accident. Cars can always be repaired or replaced.

i'd say its fixable, i hit a 200lb deer which proceeded to tumble down the right side. the only thing that got bent was some mounting brackets for the headlights or header panel. but it all buttoned up easy and straight. everything infront of the core support is made to crumple.

Thanks to everyone! I did have to go to the doctors because as the day progressed and my adrenaline calmed down my back hurts so bad but nothing a few pain pills that they gave me can't fix!!
But in regards so my baby car my dad went down to the shop to take a looksie and said it is really bad. The passenger front side is banged up pretty good. And he said the prices on the repair and most likely going to be more than my insurance will pay. So I'm still waiting on the call to confirm that.
I'm just so upset that my new car may be gone forever.
I do have some money sitting in the bank that I was thinking about using if my insurance don't cover it! I can't give up on my car.
I should get the call about the appraisal friday or Monday.
