Car got hit!!! Where should I begin...
On Thursday I was driving down Hwy 26 in Colleyvillle and this lady was slowing down to turn in to a shopping center.. so I start slowing down, but the 18 year old girl behind me didn't.. hit me going about 30mph.. the bumber is tore up, exhaust is hanging down and pushed under the rear axel, the driver side quater panel is bent to hell and pushed foward making the door not shut, the trunk wont shut, and the frame is bent behind the rear axel. So I want everyones opinion what they think is going to happen.. I have heard if the frame is bent they will total it, if they dont the body shop will have to put frame rails on the car.. I think that will hurt the resale value.. If they do if it will it ever be the same.. I will try to get some pic posted soon.
Thanks

im a bodyman and alot of people think it will never be the same after its been hit. i would take to a dealership bodyshop over any independent bodyshop for sure! if the frame damage isnt this bad they may pull it. but it sounds like you got slamed pretty hard! if you go thru insurance they may total it so got cet price quotes! GOOD LUCK MAN SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS! post pics!

Well a buddy of mine was hit ALOT worse than yours and it drives better now than it did before the accident. I would call advantage autoworks in north richland hills on DAVIS blvd. Just go by there sometime and look at their shop. Pretty incredible.

Damnn bro the same thing happened to me in lewisville and ironically enough I saw that wreck I drove by and I'll be damned if later I came back by and one of those cops gave me a ticket for speeding..That situation blows for both of us but you wayyy more :/
still feeling sick.. I have wanted a WS6 for ever and finally got one.. now I might get it back... I know this sound really dramatic and 
but I love my car.
