My car met a post. I haven't heard back from the adjusters, so I suppose there's some chance it can be fixed, but I doubt it. :( My only solace is that I'm pretty sure I owe less on the loan than it's worth.

Naturally, this happens a week after I drop $380 to replace my cat.

Its hard to see from the pics but it doesnt look to bad. Cant tell if anything non replaceable is bent. Looks like a fender, front bumper, headlight, maybe hood...but either way, hope you get it fixed soon or get it replaced with something.

The frame was bent, so that could easily be a problem.

Not as sorry as I am. Although I STILL haven't gotten any word from the body shop, so there's still some hope that I'll JUST increase my rates and lower the resale value of it!

Well, they can fix it. It's going to cost around $4200, and three weeks, of which I pay the $500 deductable. In the meantime, I get to drive a rental car: a brand new Grand Prix.

I can't wait to see what my insurance premium is going to be after this. :( I guess it's better than a total, though.

See those posts? They're about three feet behind the line of the building's side. I was going around the corner to go around the building not knowing those were there, and by the time I saw them, I was about to smash into them.

I agree on the silver focus' having bad luck. [:)~] My bumper was cracked after a hit'n'run almost a year ago.

Oh god, this rental is the worst thing ever. The car is HUGE but the interior space doesn't seem any better than my Focus. It's all in the trunk, which is very large. The auto takes 30 seconds to downshift after stepping on the throttle, and 90% of the braking power is in the last 10% of the pedal. The steering is horrible loose. The ride is nice and the seats aren't bad, but getting in and out is a pain. The windshield needs to be 3 inches higher.

I miss my SVT. [:(]
