first of all, thanks to everyone who replied. ive really been a mess since the incident so its good to have some advice here and there. and yes, everyone in the car was ok. thank god my girl wasnt sitting up front or shed have a broken neck from that airbag. that son of a bitch was hotttt
VDC was on. TCS was on. i had just started the car 5 minutes prior and my only real error was driving in tiptronic in 2nd during rain. The car spun out because of a mix of rain, dirt and oil that was on the road. trucks unload there all day so it was the wrong place at the wrong time to make such a loose turn. cops didnt even bug me they could telle exactly what happened so they just felt sorry for me. i was doin about 15 so damage was minimal on the first impact, its the fact that i was launched into 2 trucks that caused all that ugly stuff.
Anyway, i moved the car to a shop today and am waiting for Geico to send over the estimate guy. they took a look at the damage and say its nothing serious, my engine is UNTOUCHED but of course it has been shaken. the only structural damage i can imagine would be the axel, though that still needs to be looked at. Im estimating it at around 10 g's.
2 New headlights
Right/left fender
2 new wheels
Front Bumper
Grill
Its all body damage, but i can imagine the car will be different. has anyone had repair experiences? does the cars overall feel and responsiveness change, or does it have more to do with center of gravity and balance?
