A lil Hit N Run to my Evo :(
Well Basically I went to a buddies dad's 50th on fri nite sat morning between 10-3am. parked my car in a parking lot nice big and busy. Anyways I come back to my car to discover this.
No witnesses, no paint transfer, no other parts but mine. No airbags deployed.
Anyways, Getting quoted from (an approved conartist) Body shop by the insurance company. I used to be manager at a body shop and to hear anyone tell me "cars are tough" and "can take a good hit" made me literally laugh in his face. Sorry no, this car will never be the same, it will never feel the same, and if i race and hit the wall this side I will be no more i guaratee that.
Anyways ill update as progress comes. What is pathetic is i pay 2200$ per year for about 10 yrs now on insurance for all my cars etc ive driven. So i get 1500$ rental car coverage fee which means I get a 33$ per day to drive either a ford focus or some other piece of garbage.
For NONE of the airbags to deploy was this because basically no key was in ignition or some other problem thats underlying that really needs to be adressed.??

Wow that really sux, sorry man. I'd be very upset... but why don't you think it can be cleanly repairable? Doesn't look that bad to me? Anything under the car buckle?

ouch! sorry to hear! and you're right, an accident of that magnitude, it won't be the same after that. Either the door won't be perfectly aligned or some vibration will bug you in the long run
