damn I need a Pacifica. They must be indestructible
yeah i cant open my doors wide the fenders bent back and i tried opening hood...it was a no go....pacificas=monster truck....well i guess anythign i when ur drivng a civic
basically i slid into the other lane of traffic, hit a oncoming accord(6thgen) and it had only slight bumper dmg. on my car, front end demolished, bumper was gone, healight crushed, frame was bent, header was split, windshield was cracked, fenders were popped back, and hood was touching windshield. looks kinda like your 1st pic cept the bar that is seperating your engine from your bumper was bent back into header.
he locked up his brakes in stop and go traffic, didn't pay attention for a second. no abs.
he rear ened a land rover. the land rover didn't even have a scratch due to a hitch. my brother's car was a mess. luckily, the lady was cool and no insurance was exchanged. $2k on my brother's car
^^^That's why our cars are soda cans.
If you don't have full coverage on insurance, it's time to cry.
Exact same thing happened to my car. Took me 3 grand, 2 full week, and 2 other guys to repair.
Sorry for your loss man. Hope things work out.
here some pics of my poor car....and maybe ill ahve some stuff for sale ....parts that i didnt get a chance to even put in the car and is still being mailed to me
