Hit and Run (56k Warning, 15 pictures)
So on Thursday I was driving to go park by the tennis courts, but there were no parking spots so I went into the neighborhood and as I was making a left turn a car (which I thought was parked since he was ON the sidewalk and not moving) burns out and hits my car. I backed up so I could get over to the side of the road, and next thing I hear "SCREEEEECH" and the guy is flying off down the road.
I'm gonna have an estimate on Monday, anyone have a rough estimate at what I'm looking at?

UPDATE!
Got my car back yesterday. Looks great, for some reason the headlights look a little misaligned, but I think it's just because I never paid so much attention to detail before.
Haven't had time to take pictures, due to bad weather. I should be able to get some tomorrow afternoon, so be ready.

Well because I didn't know the extent of my damage so trying to play it safe I had my car shut off when I got to the side of the road, that and I was going the opposite way so I would've had to make a quick u-turn and try to follow him through a neighborhood right after school. I didn't want to risk anyone else's lives by driving like an idiot chasing a guy.

damn....the damage to your car looks almost exactly like mine when i got into my accident but this seems a bit worse...
it doesn't seem like your intercooler is damaged
are your headlamps damaged?
id be looking at least 2000
sorry bro, hope everything works out for you

That damage looks fairly similar to my car. I havent heard back from my adjuster so I couldnt give you a ballpark figure. Id say your looking at 3000. Theres a good chance your radiator support is bent along the crossmember in your lower frame. Did any tabs bend or break off on your intercooler for example? Is any piping bent? Good luck with everything. Your car will be fine and hopefully youll be able to find the person who did this to you.
