Everyone is okay. Amazingly the intercooler suvived just with a small dent on one of the pipes. All of the damage is mostly on the drivers side. The car still starts up fine. Hopefully its repairable and just needs the hood ,front bumper, fender and drivers side suspension. Thank god it wasnt a head on collision. We just collided into eachothers drivers side. My airbag didnt even go off!

That doesn't sound too bad. How fast were you going? How hard was the hit? My hunch is she's bent. From the back the rear wheels are likely rolling 3 inches to the left of the front ones.
Which, of course, is bad.

At time of impact maybe 20
Lots of scavengers here... How can anyone possibly tell by those pictures that it has frame damage or is totalled. Just be glad nobody is hurt and wish the guy good luck. He's upset about his baby and everyone is tellin him its totalled and part it out. Sheesh.
Good luck with that insurance and hope you can fix it. Looks reparable. Body stuff, front brace and some suspension, but it'll work out.

Yea she does look bad but remember the Evos front end is all aluminum except for the bumper. So thats why she looks bad. As you can see from the first pic my fender literally ripped!
