Default The Crash (56k death) Bad Weekend!!!

For those that didnt or havent seen my car....below are pics of the aftermath that was "project destroy hedges"....

Here's what happened:

Late last Saturday night while driving back to a friends place, something, more or less an animal, ran out in front of my car and my instant reaction was to swerve out of the way....well unfortunately i swerved too much and tried to recover but slid into some grass and kept going into 6 foot tall hedges. I was in a neighborhood so i wasnt going more then 35mph but the grass was like ice and it had been raining...needless to say it was a rough night and has been a rough week thus far with insurance, body shop ____, needing a rental, $500 dedctible and yeah my car looking like sh$t!!!! I know it could have been worse and i am lucky that i didnt hit anyone or any cars, plus nobody was hurt and for that i am thankful but, it still is a very depressing thing to deal with!!! I got the estimate from Allstate which was $3,100 less my $500...so we are looking at $2,600 but it is a low figure since the AHole told me that the hood could be fixed i wanted to kick his a$$.....so now the body shop will have to argue over some of the details and hopefully i can get more new stuff!!!! Well without further ado my pics

Notice the grass in my wheels...all of them are like that and were worse the night that it happened....oh yeah and my fender lining is history including all the plastic lining sh$t underneath!!!






Yup the bottom grill is lost somewhere in the earth were the hedges exploded...and electrical tape holding my wires to the LED fog lights that actually still work :up:






Well the pics actually look better than in person becuase you can see all the nicks and little bumps. Also the back bumper and side skirts are all scratched to hell on the bottom since the car was sitting on these monster hedges and then the tow truck had to pull it off which probably didnt help!!!
All in all it sucks and cant wait to get it in the shop and forget about it......and hopefully they do a good job
Oh yeah and the cops were less then nice ensored: and gave me a careless driving ticket to add insult to injury....
