So what failed? Or did you get hit?
2nd paragraph last post. I would re-type but I'm on my phone. My worry is the level of impact the car took hidden things could be broken. The shock tower is mushroomed cracked and shifted- the main issue.Quote:

Strut helps to prevent this. Too late now, I know.
Glad you, or anyone else escaped injury...
zhp, that looks bad. If there is enough damage under there, this could be a total. My biggest fear, when stuff like this happens, is that there will be a lot of damage and the insurance fixes it.
Please keep us posted.
will be put back up at a later date
For whatever reason, our cars tend to be more expensive to insure. I'm thinking it has to do with the cost of repairs when accidents do occur.
In my unprofessional opinion, this looks like a total. If you see this not getting repaired to your satisfactory, be sure to take it to your favorite auto body shop (so they can shoot it and declare it dead).
Whatever happens I am determined to not leave the zhp mafia. :)
I hope they don't say it's totaled...unless thats what you want.
