TDI After The Crash

[blandoon]

Okay, boys and girls, here we go:

Well, there's a small sample. Some of the damage on the left side didn't photograph clearly, but you can see the worst of it. Now we sit back and wait for Allstate Insurance to determine the car's fate.

Incidentally, one of the truly amazing things you can see in these pictures is that none of the windows were broken.

Ouch!

Wow, that is bad, bad news. With the doors, rear clip (both sides!) and everything else (the wacky angle on the rear axle) that car is going to be challenged for a long time. Imagine the fun of finding a toasted tire 2k miles after "everything is OK". It's totalled Blandoon. Sorry for your loss.

I've got one word for you...

SUE!!!!!!!!

Jeez, that ain't pretty... I feel for you man. You are alot more forgiving than I am. I would want to take the idiot responsible for that and SKIN HIM ALIVE. I am glad no one was hurt...that's the most important thing, after all. Don't let the insurance companies jerk you around. Push for getting the car declared "Totalled"--If not MAKE them pay to bring it back to OEM new condition. Threaten legal action if they don't! Take no prisoners!
GOOD LUCK--we're all behind you!
