Officially "broken" in. My crash pics

The wife's first drive of the car without me. I think she jumped of the line at a light and some jackass ran the red on the turn lane infront of her...right into the F. Ah well, so much for white being pure haha
I look at it as an oppty to finally pull that bumper off and start on my front lip spoiler and fogs lights.

Oouuuccchh! Fig, I am sorry to see that happen, nothing worse than driving your favorite car around with damage. But, I am confident you will have her back on the road again looking new very soon.

Hope this is NOT the case, but you may have upwards of $15K damage internally. I hit a baby deer and it didn't look anywhere near that bad, but with the radiator getting mushed into the frame, new air intakes, stonegard, bumper, paint, and straightening, my insurance co coughed up $8K. Mind you this was at an expensive, Lexus-approved body shop. But still, ouch!
FYI the bumper is like $3K unpainted. If you replace it, make sure they order you the right one (no headlight washers).
Here's what only $8K damage looks like from the outside. The body shop charged ins. an extra hour labor for "hazardous waste removal", lol. As others have said, the wife is ok - that's the only important thing.

The car was red before right? That is nasty. glad everyone is alright. Question is did you get to keep the deer? Thats good meat.
Not trying to thread-jack...but all 80lbs of it spun off the road and over the cliff on the outside of the corner.The car was red before right? That is nasty. glad everyone is alright. Question is did you get to keep the deer? Thats good meat.
Yeah I think in my case since it was and off impact, and the wife was stopped in the intersection I am not loking too bad. A tab on the fog light, and a pull of the headlight frame and I think it should be OK. I got prices and I think I can get it fixed under a K I think I will start my flat black paint scheme

NOOOOOOO!! The Pearl White F is damaged! I drive VERY DEFENSIVELY on local ways like my life depends on it..B/c once car is damaged the integrity of the vehicle isn't the same..Hope you get it repaired soon..
Wishing you well Dude!
Wishing you well Dude!
total estimate was 3K given a new headlight was in the mix at $998. Not too bad considering a repaint with blend up into the hood and fenders. Gald I did not put a clear bra on
