Automatic ftw.

 

Just wanted to make a quick little update for those of you who didnt know....I got hit by a mailtruck last week. I was parked on a hill and somehow he forgot to put his brake on and slid down the hill pushing me about 20 feet farther back then when i started, this was with the parking and ebrake on too. Anyways long story short, my front end is going to look like garbage for the meet the worst part is the bumper shock broke through the core support so that gets to be replaced.

On the bright side though this lead to me being able to get an s4 bumper which is on its way across the country now, a few other good things will be coming out of this as well....

I'll try and get some pics of the damage up tomorrow as well as something else I'm picking up...

 

Oh no!!!

 

hey meloman, Your running those springs with the stock struts right?
Where did you buy your springs at?

 

Yea the stock sport struts, they're all about blown now though. I can't blame it completely on the springs but I'm sure they didn't help..
And I got them from hiwords, another member on here

 

car might be totaled...

 

no way dude. wtf was that mail truck carrying? talk to your insurance adjuster and ask him if he can give you the maximum amount without totaling the car. what are the parts damaged? or you could do the math to see if you would get more money if you bought car back. only thing is your title would say it's salvaged and the value would go down

weird how your struts are blown. i ran those springs for just as long as you did and my struts were fine.

 

well **** if thats the case ill take your wheels!!!

that sucks sorry to hear man!

 

So i should give some background here... I originally thought my core support was cracked, when I was taking out my headlight though I saw that the shoehorn was crinkled in a couple inches. Choice words were said I immediately thought that this was the end of it but luckily I know a guy who restores 50's and 60's cars who does frame work and he said it could be fixed. Probably one of the biggest relieves of my life.

Anyways, heres finally some pics of the damage for those of you who havent seen:
