Here's the story going onto to the freeway there is two lanes which merge into one, i passed an acura integra on the left lane and i see him speed up and i could hear his little muffler, i told my friend look at this idiot he wants to pass me well he does and once he does it theres like pot holes there and he hit me with his rear tail when he was trying to merge in because it was already one lane which means he was suppose to merge onto my lane well he hit the freeway border on the right his rear bounced and went on top of the border which shifted his car side ways and sent in right in front of me so his driver door was facing my front side passenger side bumper/fender i braked hard but he was to close and we hit

Crazy. Should have just floored it past the ricer.

Bumper, fender, light, wheel, door might be messed up. That's a lot more damage than it looks. Frame or a suspension piece could be bent like the control arms.

Does it drive straight?

Interesting. It could have worse if you ended up sliding into another person or hitting the left side barriers. At least it can be fixed.

Wow. Maybe just the cradle is damaged which would cause the engine to fall like that...not too bad.


I swear. between the issues I've seen posted at NAIOA, GPONA (mostly hail damage in the midwest), and here....we need to not drive for the rest of June. May was horrible, but June looks even worse.

Good luck with the repairs.
