He meant the OP, as a joke though. Like if someone posted pictures of someone beat up pretty bad in this case is the car that's beat up so he made the joke of putting "gore" in the forums.

Just a joke he made

Lol, ok


Back on topic, OP, I wouldn't sell my car due to the damages, they are REALLY minor and you're not going to bondo anything... You'll be replacing all the parts

Not totaled. New suspension, new wheels, new body. Check the rails under your car, if doors don't line up, large and unusual gaps on doors. I've seen worse and they repaired. Good luck and thank goodness your still posting.

Sorry to hear that. You can "hope" that ins. will total it but I don't think they will(not according to those damages) . I had my 03 350Z rear ended in 08. I bought the car for $16k. The repair ended up costing the ins. Company 12k. Those bastards still refuse to total it . I even had frame damage. Car drive fine for 6 months. Then it just didn't feel how it was before. Waited for 370z and traded in for it. your best bet will be to trade it as soon as it fixed if you don't plan on driving it for long.

It does pull VERY VERY hard, and I'm not sure if it's alignment, tire, or something more serious. The front tire did not look to line up with the rear when I looked at it, but meh, could be perception. I need 3 new rims (rash from hell on the lips of them) and a new $1700 body wrap (yes, everything but the roof, rear-hatch, rear-bumper, and doors is wrapped edge to edge, full-panel), and...

...there will be some MONEY going into fixing this.
Your tie end rods and wheel bearing possibly damaged. Those are the first two things coming to my mind.

What he said . If it does show up when you're trading in, file with ins. Company for diminished value claim.

Since I know your posts, I'm going suggest you German made car. The new 4 series coupe or get the upcoming BMW M4 coupe. C7 looks amazing too.

Good luck

i was in an accident with my altima before i sold it
its similar to what you were in but what happened was some douchebag was driving in the emergency lane on the highway then he slammed his car into mine(kind of like mob style) to avoid running over construction workers, i would have changed lanes but i was boxed in(car in front, car behind, and car to the side of me) and i suffered similar damages, driver side fender messed up, side view mirror was gone, alignment and balance were off but there was no major damage and my car wasnt totaled(collision happened at 65)

i dont think insurance will total your vehicle but every case is different
good luck with everything and make sure you save up for the next gen Z lol

Be a real shame if it got hit again while sitting there. Like by an old pickup or something.

I am pretty sure this is the kind of stuff that causes later issues with little wire connectors, grounds, tons of rattles, and just makes a car feel "loose". I've driven cars that have been tracked (1/4 mile) hard on slicks/DR's and the whole car just feels "floppy". That has to be less violent than being slammed into a guard-rail and pinned by an SUV. It's going to be the little things, with this car, and I'm not going to be stuck with it.
