    Mom's boyfriend performing a unexpected U-Turn blocking the entire dirt road without breaking = this. I was driving the speed limit, not tail-gating and using breaks.

    Here is a picture:

    The car has been in the shop for coming up on 2-weeks now, I'll post pictures once it is out. Currently it is at $3,100 in damages. I'll answer any questions, but at least on the bright side my rock chips will be gone now.

    Also if your wondering, the car was completely drive-able besides the metal rubbing on the tire but that was fixed with a solid kick. The passenger door does not open though, and I wouldn't try to open it to prevent further damage.

    What I know is being fixed:
    • Bumper
    • 3-Grills
    • New Hood
    • Fender
    • New Headlight
    • Resonator
    • Fender Liner
    • The crush plate behind the fender.
    • Repaint around fender / all other parts that we're replaced / damaged.
    I hope to have it back this Friday, but next week for sure.

    Fixed:

    Ouch! Maybe have a 3-m mask installed for rock protection would be in order?.:) H

    Perhaps, I would probably want to do it myself to avoid the costs of someone else doing it, I got the car with the dings so I was planning on just getting the hood repainted. There are cracks in the fog lights from before I got it but they are sealed. Those were really the only problems, besides the inside being worn down, like the door panel and everything being dirty. I cleaned out the inside and wet vac'd it, so now I just need a new drivers door panel and then the inside should be done.

    I've added a picture of it after it has come back from the body shop.

    Did he refill the signal fluid, replace the cabin air filter, and de-oxodize your fog lights?

    Nothing was done to the fog lights from what I noticed, the washer fluid was empty, and I didn't check the cabin air filter. I think I'm good on signal fluid though because I leave them on too often ;)
