its still drives perfectly fine though, just the cost of the repairs will be as much as a new car...

But 2000 in labor for sure to have it done right, you got some Heafty Creases in the metal and if you buy a new Q-P your talking cut and weld ehhh its ugly man and then you got to smooth and paint.

Sorry this happend to you... Practice your drifting away from PPP. Poles Pedestrians and Pengwins

buy another SC. It'll run you far less than the labour alone in this case...

Yeah given the extent of the damage, I'd be willing to bet there are kinks & creases in the roof line too...

yes im also sorry to say but the car is in very bad shape, im not sure it is even worth fixing at this point.

It is definitely wrecked.

I think I will have to agree with the people saying that u should purchase another car.

It will probably be cheaper and in the end this car might not ever be the same after this accident.

Im sorry and i hope it works out
