I didn't even notice that the pics were upside down until I saw that post. Flipping the images happens automatically for me. Anyway we need more details on this man. WTH happened?

Kid didn't look and made a left turn from the right lane and hit my right quarter panel and pushed me into a ditch.

its nice to see that the wire in the median didt cause to much damage though...Texas is switching every interstate to that stuff...better than hitting a concrete barrier...and it looked like it did its job well of stopping you and not causing to much damage.

sucks about the evo though. some people dont need to be driving. (not talking about you)

Good to see that you're fine. Looks like minor damage, nothing a good repair shop can't fix

Sorry to hear about your Evo. But this is good excuse to add some JDM bumpers.

Kid only had his license for a month or so. and really it is all minor, there is damage to the roof but they already fixed that yesterday. now they are just waiting for parts to come in.

it actually was a make shift fence for a roadside park in the city that I live in. It was a low speed impact though(less than 5mph) because the alum. crush bumper underneath was not damaged.

thanks for all the kind words, his insurance company is paying for everything, including a rental car. The original est is $12,292 worth of damages. The body shop found some small plastic stuff that needed to be replaced but it probably will be less than $1k worth of additional stuff.

That's horrible to see, good thing you weren't hurt and that the kid had insurance. His silly parents should have gotten him a small car and not a truck as a first runabout.

Sorry for you man. Hopefully you will get you car back soon. I heard some parts are hard to get and may take up to a month to get. Let's hope it's not your case.


Good luck.
