Why wasn't the car taken to a frame shop immediately after the accident? Man, even if it was a my-fault accident and the other person told me not to worry about it and just go home...if something was that f***ed up, I would have gone through the whole insurance route anyways to get my car fixed. Frame repair is expensive, if it can be repaired at all.

no, i did. the bumper and fender was messed up. my shock tower was pushed back (passenger side) 1/2 inch. they fixed all that. it drives good, but when i pull into my driveway which is only on a 15degree slope upwards, i feel a vibration from the right front wheel/suspension to the steering wheel. at first i though it was a bad ball-joint until i noticed my steering wheel colum not being centered with the cutout part of the dashboard under the guages.
btw, it was my fault... i was fecking around and hit a dumpster...
