It was strange because it didn't look too awful, but they had to replace the entire front subframe, cut out the drivers firewall and a-pillar and weld a new piece in, replace the entire drivers suspension, both airbags front airbargs and airbag computer, both seatbelt pre-tensioners, and a whole bunch of other crap. The scariest thing was when they put it on a frame machine to straighten it because there was a little wrinkle on the roof showing serious frame damage. They hooked it up on this wierd platform with chains going everywhere underneath. They hang these little reflective targets in specific places on the car then use hydraulics to pull a particular chain until the targets line up to what the specs are for the car.

I'm thankful for airbags, but man are those freaking things scary, sound like a gunshot, the saddest thing was hearing the dipshit take off while the cabin was still filled with smoke from the bags, by the time it cleared and I got out they were a few blocks up.


never would have guessed this was so much money to fix
