Wife just ran a red light and hit somebody.

Its drive-able and she is on her way home. Hood got buckled and sounds like no one was hurt fortunately.

We don't have collision on it so I am out of pocket on getting it fixed.

May end up selling it :(

Sucks being unemployed.

Glad no-one got hurt. If you can find a parts car through your local CL, you can fix it yourself as long as the frame isn't bent. Easier if there no deployments too.

Well my imagination was running wild till I saw it. Fortunately she wasn't going very fast, there is now way there is any frame damage and its definetely drive-able.

Just fix it later on down the road. Start looking for wrecked B4's because there are some front end components that are damaged. Fortunately the headlights made it through okay.

The lights all work .... so I guess I can't complain to much.

Thankfully no one was hurt, and it still is a good candidate for burning 100% bio diesel even though it looks kind of ugly up front.

Key thing is nobody got hurt. The rest is just bent metal, not broken bones or worse. It is a good day! Drive it for a while, buy a used hood when you can, then keep driving it some more.

You'll have to start to take shortcuts so that you can build them at a faster rate!
