Wrecked My T/A WS6 well i wrecked my car the front drivers side is fucked up. i wish i had pics but i will take some tomorrow since it's already night time.
but the headlight is completely smashed it's not there anymore. i can see the extra hard foam but i think it bent my frame since i see a long metal thing out of place going towards the motor.
and my brake lights for some reason stay on. they wont shut off at all idk why. and now the car sits at about 1,900 rpm and takes a really long time to actually go down an this happens while i was driving it home.
and the car leaned to the right slightly but it was not that bad but definitly noticable.
my questions are why do my brake lights stay on?
how much does it usualy cost to repair a bent frame especially since i only have liability?
and does anybody want to buy it LMFAO???

If the frame is bent the insurance company will probably total it. Its hard to say why you are having the other problems but if you had a hard impact then it could be a number of things.

the insurance wont cover it since i just have liability
i have triple aaa
and i heard somewhere that with triple aaa with liability they will help you with something unless you didn't hit another car, and i hit a wall.

If you have any pics or want to sell it, I am interested in buying it. Need some info on the car.
It sucks I have liability on my car right now and am always worried about an accident totaling it.

The high idle condition could be one of about 2 dozen things. I would start by hooking up a scanner and seeing what codes you might have. The results of that would determine the next possibile steps.

It looks fixable to me. Pull the bumper, bumper supports, foam padding, etc. and you should be able to tell if the frame is bent pretty easily. Its a pretty easy job to do.

It looks like the bumper support is bent, if you are interested in fixing it, just remove the front bumper and you can probably see the extent of the damage. Those supports are designed to crumple in a collision so it lessens the impact on the driver. You can probably buy a new support off of a wrecked car that was hit in the back. The core support looks like it was pushed in a little, but is hard to tell in pictures. It does not look that bad, but since the fender is also screwed up, the side of the car has to be blended so that might cost some cash in the end.
Good luck with the fix, if you ever want to get rid of it, just hit me up. It looked like a really clean ws6.

Ouch, It dosen't look to bad, definitly fixable imo but it will be a pain. So how fast were you going when you realized you couldn't stop before hitting the wall? How long have you owned that beast if you don't mind me asking?
