    Went back to the intersection today and it turns out this lil' mofo was most of the issue. All the snow and ice on the road melted already.



    Can you tell where the car hit? lol

    Sitrep. From what I can tell the rear quarter panel is pretty much destroyed, rear bumper is broken where it connects the the main part of the car, and a shattered hubcap. I guess one good thing about it is I almost bought a set of rims a couple days ago, so I'm glad I didn't. I think the rear bumper would have been fine if it wasn't cold and brittle, it wasn't even a year old yet from when I got rear ended last year. Kind of a boner kill but at least I don't think the cars driving ability was hindered at all. I drove it around and it seemed fine to me.

    if the rear quarter is metal I would almost bet that you could pull that out. take it off, heat it up a little, and push it back to shape. just a thought, may be able to save a little cash...and if you fuck it up? oh well, planned on replacing it anyway

    I thought about that as well but the metal is actually creased pretty bad. I'll probably go mess around with it and see if I can make it any better later.

    They should be able to PDR that. They can get at the with no problem. As long as the paint didn't crack look into PDR

    That's some shit. Glad you're okay and the car is otherwise fine though.
