As a few of you know, this happened on the way back from mondays meet in front if Erin Mills just before Winston Churchill.
Went to move out of the way for an ambulance as we were stopped at a red light and some dumb bitch decided to speed in left hand turn lane as 2 of us and a rando pulled into the lane. Luckly I was the only one to get tagged. Everyone said they saw her drive over my fender, go up on 2 wheels, bounce off the curb and stop at least 15 feet ahead of me.
To everyone who stayed with me, gave there reports and made sure I was ok, I cant express enough my gratitude. This is the best community of enthusiasts bar none.
I got slammed into so hard my right headlight/bumper/fender smashed into this ladies volvo
This is the dumbasses car
Its up in the air right now if this will be written off. Thankfully i have and awesome boss who knows the owner of a body shop in the same complex as us. I told him not to bother pricing out a hood (i have my stocker) headlights, rim, suspension, etc ill deal with that on my own. The real killer is paint (since its pearl the entire side will have to be painted so it will flow) and the body work needed on the door.
So if anyone has sources on an SVT bumper (dont need the fogs, signals or even the honey comb), side skirt cap (meets up with the fender @ the bottom) and even fenders, it would be much appreciated!

Sometimes you just can't account for other drivers. Doesn't look like she even tried to slow down... Glad you're alright, but sucks about the car. Hope you're able to sort out some sort of a deal...

Headlights are completely donezo. If that volvo wasnt there i could have gotten away with some minor scratches and a broken tab on the drivers
side one. That would be awesome if you could PM for that bumper tho.

Nope, i did. Unsafe lane change, $110 and 2 points but the officer said to fight it and it should be thrown out.

You mind hanging on to those? Me and the owner of the body shop have to make the appraiser life easier by sourcing as much stuff for as cheap. I already told him not to worry about a hood, headlights, rims, suspension stuff etc, but if I can source it all myself and get them to pay for it, thats even better.

3 lane road (5 including left/right hand turn lanes). all the lanes were at least 5-6 cars deep at a red light. Their wasent enough physical room for everyone to pull right, and when I see an abulance im assuming someone is dying/in trouble so i dont really drive by the book lol.

So the adjuster came on Friday. By far the coolest one I have ever met. He said he would write the claim for a stock car (which it clearly isnt) and would max out the estimate and leave it up to me to get some of the parts to keep the cost down. He straight up told me hes going to do everything possible not to write it off. Ill know Monday if 100% if its going to be fixed.
