I'm going to need a further explanation of what happened instead of just damn light pole. If worst comes to worst, I call your side skirts xD. I could prolly pick em up too if need be.

HERE COME THE SCAVENGERS!

That being said, there is either a shitload of damage under there, or you simply wrinkled your fender. My guess is the frame has been tweaked, so aside from replacing and painting body panels, there's gonna be a frame machine involved. Judging by your description of the accident, it's your fault, too, which sucks because you're fresh out of college (or still in it) so my GUESS is you had basic insurance and wont want to pay out of your own ass to fix this.

Not being a dick haha. Just sucks to conclude that this car is likely gone :( Love SY.

Well it was 100% driver error, my fault completely, turned my head left for a split second and guess the car veered left a little bit and bam light pole, pretty freaking embarrassing and completely blows cause I love the car, but shit happens and all I can do is move on

And Ideally I would love to keep it and fix it regardless, had some pretty big plans for it

So heres the deal, Insurance was gonna give me 7300 for the car, but since its my first car and I always planned on keeping it and building it to my liking, I'm buying it back 1k and there giving me 5800. So my grandpa knows a bunch of people with some shops so might be able to get some deals on some stuff. Definitely gonna need some frame work done and figure out while its only running in one gear. But anyway itll get done. Already got me an SRT-D bumper on the way and my front lip is just scraped up so its still good. Can't wait to get the neon it the state it was, or a little better.

I wish they would give me that much if I totaled my car, damn, that's a nice amount of cash...


hhmmm... at $7800, my only choice would be RX-8 or SRT-4.

WRX.
