Yah its a little cold that you're worried about your second front end when this guy on the bike could have very well been seriously injured or killed. I can look at the car and tell that you walked away without a scratch hardly. People hit bikes and always assume the biker is at fault, but people driving cars make mistakes to (as hard is that is to believe its true).

He flipped over the hood and landed about 40 feet away. Miraculously he survived. There is much more damage than you can see. The hit was so hard it shifted the entire subframe. Both lower motor mounts snapped. Subframe parts were cracked. Suspension parts bent. Even the driver side door was dented from the driver side fender moving and hitting it during impact. They had to drop the entire front subframe out and basically replace it all and re weld it all back together. The guy who did the work is a beast at this type of work and the car felt and looked as if nothing happened after everything was fixed. Vehicle wasnt salvaged because it wasnt considered a total loss by insurance company. The car is paid for and I dont plan on selling it anyway.
