I assume you mean the original weld as well then in that case.

Yes, definitely will need a picture to see what they are going to change for this repair and how they are going to proceed.

OUCH! Sorry to see and hear that. Looks like the Accord in the back is totaled.

Doesn't look like there would be any frame damage but sometimes it's hard to tell unless you actually take a look underneath. Good luck with the repairs.

Its a Galant. I am surprised to see how well the IS held up to such a hit. The Galant is smashed up while the IS SEEMS to be minor damage. However, one can only tell so much from a picture.

Well $12k in damage doesn't seem too minor to me, but i'm perfectly OK, so the car did its job very well!

Sorry to hear. At least you were unharmed physically. Your head tends to play tricks on you after repairs though. You think you start to hear things that were never there before.

Sounds like its going to be about 3 weeks before I get her back. Until then, I'll enjoy my "Premium" rental from Enterprise....a Honda Accord
