one of the frame rail, at least i think that is what it was, was broken and bent all to hell. i will try to find the picture i have of it.
the hardest part is getting the damn insurance company to look at it. but luckily my agent is pretty quick.

yes it is... but, i think you can go to autozone, believe it or not, our car was in the computer for brake pads i believe. mine were messed up and i threw them out so i dont think i can help ya. Your car should be fine for a week though. the most you are doing is cutting into your rotor which you are replacing anyway. just be easy on them.

Damn dude, you got hit worse than I did! Both of mine were dented in like yours but the metal wasn't split. And I got hit on the freeway around 35 mph.
But yea, those frame rails are sectional, if you follow it foward you can see where it meets up with the main frame rail. They just pop the rivits in the trunk and pull the old piece out. Depending on how good the body shop is they should be able to weld in the new piece and make it look like factory. If you pull up my trunk mat or look under the car you would have no idea that it had been rear-ended.
Have fun!

yeah, i thought it was your car when i was coming onto raeford rd. they kept taunting me to run and i had my wife with me and didn't really care too. finally when we got to the light past 71st and i got approval so i had to unleash the beast on the long "backroad" straightaway before raeford walmart. i don't think i have to tell you who won
if i would've known for sure it was your car i would've dug into alonzo's ***. also, it was the asian guy that was driving it. get your car somewhere safe so that it doesn't get impounded................
