Default boo hoo

This was under 15 mph hitting a 90s jeep cherokee. Slid under the rear of it. Car is dead, but I came out without a scratch.

The engine is cracked (visibile from the top end), I assume the transmission is f**ed up also as all of the fluid dumped out on to the ground. But note, the front lip is untouched. Steering wheel airbag and lower air bags deployed, and for some reason, my rear bumper popped off....


Im depressed.

****ty pics taken with my cell phone:

Ouch. That's a pretty heavy hit to the front. The most important part is you were not injured. On the bright side, glad to see the front lip held up!

yup, as soon as I can recover parts, I will and will probably sell everything off at a good price (if the car is totaled).

20" Wald d23s
19" Euroline DH (if not damaged in the accident"
Front Lip
Seibon CF Trunk
Artisan Spirits Roof Spoiler (unpainted)
SL2Vi
Stock suspension (no way Im going to be able to get the teins off of the car)
Prussian Blue Side skirts (if I can get them off the car)
Exiv rear (If I can get it off of the car).
Tanabe Exhaust (partial, I cut part of the piping for some other usage
Stock Exhaust

Any interest in anything, plz let me know. It will probably be a week before I recover anything from the car tho.

yeah, it didn't hit the bumper. would've been less damage if it did.
