Damn...thats a bit mor than a kiss, it pulled the axel apart. My guess is about 3500K on the bill. I know the control arm is around 375$ alone. Looks like there is some body damage, maybe a new strut, probably a new rim.New axel Not to mention labor. Maybe closer to 4k. Like you said: thank god for insurance and thankfully no one was hurt

Wow, that looks like a hard hit! Glad everyone is ok.

Not to change the subject, but where are you guys still getting stock Advans??? If I'm not mistaken (I haven't seen one in awhile), those are stock advans you're driving on. I'd love another set if I could find them anywhere.
