Well looked at the car from underneath.....think of it as a very large obtuse angle bend on the frame, and twisted...not fixable...that's why the adjuster was like, "sir sorry to tell you but the frame is bent and if we do try to fix it, it would be anywhere from 7 if not more than 7 thousand to fix on the frame alone most likey plus all the body damage....it just sucks to see what you've worked on so much just go to waste because of someone so damn stupid....
Ehhh, it'll buff right out j/k..... i hit a curb going 40 in my truck, bent the frame and the whole left front suspenion. I took it to a body shop and they bent the frame back. Drove like a champ for years after that lol. Lets see the carnage of the underside! For real though, that does suck man. Keep us updated.

Went to the "junkyard" today to returnthe key for the car....lol. They said the only way they could let me see the undercarriage is by flipping the car....although its a total loss, I'm not going to flip the car just to see the undercarriage of the car.
But I need your guys opinions...I am between two cars right now. The new Accord coupe V6 or.......the new Pontiac G8 GT. I don't know, Mazda didn't want to work with me on pricing because well the guy was an asshole. So what do you guys think?

Different dealership. Ready go.
Go with the Accord V6 - 6speed if you can find it. I've been driving around in my wifes 7th gen Accord V6 Sedan (see avatar) and am lovin it. Makes me want to go out and get a coupe. Which i'm seriously thinking about!

That's right. Wednesday night as I was taking my brother home, I decided, hey the P5 hasn't gotten out on a while, lets give it some air. So I drove the P5 to take my brother home instead of the Ford Taurus. As I was like 1 minute from my parents house, I get on Warm Springs Rd(four lane street going 50mph on a 45mph) and there is a Suburban couple hundred feet in front of me on the right hand lane, and an Oldsmobile Alero next to me in the left lane. I saw the Suburban start swirving a little but thought nothing of it really since he was quite a bit ahead of me. Well all of a sudden the Suburban swirves in front of the Alero and and SLAMS on his brakes but didnt have any brake lights working. So the Alero had to slam on his brakes and because he did, he started drifting into my lane...sucks because it put me in the situation of A) do I slam into the Alero and possibly hurt me, my brother AND the driver in the Alero or B) try to avoid the Alero and hope for the best....unfortunately for me and my little brother I went with option B. I tried pushing the breaks hard and they locked up so my car drifted into the curb, hopped the curb, flew a good 5-10 feet in the air, hit a brick wall the blocks a light poll and ditch, the ricotche off the wall and bump into the Alero which threw me back onto the curb when I slid to a stop into the corner of a street. Luckily for my brother and I, all the injuries we got were bumps and bruises and the Alero had scratches. When the cop saw the damage and heard the stories from both sides he ruled it as "no one at fault" but hell my car is officially totalled and the Alero drove away....I just wish I could find the asshole in the Suburban. Like I've said, it takes one asshole to cause an accident, even if your driving normally. Here are some pics of my Protege

******, better sell it to me for Free.99 you ass, lol. With my hat backwards? Lol, I barely ever wear caps....beanies yes....damn man my legs still hurt like hell from hitting the damn dash....still waiting on insurane to see what they say....my dad keeps saying that I am not going to get any money back from the insurance company because I still owed money on the car and that he thinks they will just pay off the car and that's it. Either way, I'm out of a car and need one quick.
The thing with the V6 Accord is throttle response is ghey up top. I test drove the 4 cylinder and it responded alright. To be honest with you...I really dont see the point in putting money that can be gone in the blink of an eye....but then again that could happen to anyone and any type of personal property....

Hey! Email TinmanMS6 - his wife is in automotive finance and has a great connection with a dealership about 2 hours North of Atlanta. Scott's wife just got her CX-7 there (she totalled her 3 a couple weeks ago). They seem to have pretty good prices....
while i agree, let's not go blaming starbucks... those paychecks are responsible for a good many mods to my baby.
PS- my favorite is driving while texting, and we thought talking on the phone was bad.

Lol, regardless of what the cause might have been, I am out of a car and he is not.
And JA, thanks for the help. I might just have to talk to tinmansms6 and see if his wife might be able to help me out.
