Not good

ZSHO said:
It will be cool if you know somebody that can guide you to a reputable body shop not only fixing the damage but also having your coilovers,tierods installed,etc in one shot,these body shops always give a higher estimate,thats why they rather deal with insurance co than having you pay out of your pocket,just a thought.

Good ideas.

I'm pretty worried about the air leak in rear door along with the noticeable difference in the gaps. Looking back at Nicks accident, pretty similar, that's a hefty total to fix. I'm thinking frame might be more bent than that 1/4" he had also. All speculation right now.

If I don't like the inspection by either of the insurance companies, we will pay for an independent one if need be.

Hoping it's just a little fixable twist, maybe get some of a cat back system covered and we can BOOST ON!

We have a Ford dealer within a half mile of our house. I previously asked them about paint correction and they said they have a body repair shop they use down the street for that. Thinking I want to check those guys out.

Glad nobody was hurt. Maybe insurance will buy you a catback now since the tip is damaged.

The stock exhaust I think was like 1100, even though it was just the tip that get beat up, since its all one piece up to the down pipes, they had to replace it.

Thats exactly what I did! Worked out sweet!

Just looked at your incident. Looks like the high ride height of the SHO in the back helps us out alot.

Glad to see no injuries occurred also.

Was the only damage to your exaust the tip, and what was the stock exaust cost if you remember?

Sucks man.  My wife was rear ended at a stop light last week and got diagnosed with a concussion.  Head was hurting and gets dizzy.  Missed 3 days of work.  The guy's insurance is paying for everything.  Tempted in getting an attorney but wife doesn't want to.

Been nice with a brand spankn' new 2015 Suburban.  Going to swap it in for a 2015 Expedition this week and then a Tahoe.  My as well get some nice long test drives on insurance's expense.

Sorry to hear man. I'd suggest taking every step possible. Even if it's just a consult with attorney on how to properly document everything.

A good friend of mines wife was hit a year ago. At the time it wasn't bad, just stiffness and headaches. 6 months later she can't sleep, headaches still there, and now some numbness in her back. The fight they're in now is twice as complicated, and she's had to go back and day by day try and document all of her activities.

Hope all goes well with the wife and her health, the back and neck are quite complicating.

Hoping to, and willing to chip in some for top notch rentals also!

Sound advice from Rich!  Hope she recovers in the shortest possible time, PM!
 
Well the SHO got dropped off Thursday morning. They're saying 4-5 days, but don't have trunk pan on their list of parts. I hope they don't try to mold it back into shape, as my thoughts were if the frame is bent at all, a new pan welded in would help secure the fix. We will see.

The wife dropped it off and since I put out the question of what to get as a rental quite late, she just said AWD is needed. So, they gave her a Mazda cx-5 AWD. Poor seemingly little car. She doesn't mind it, but I drove it last night, and wow.

The mighty 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder musters an outrageous 184 H.P. to lug the 4500 lbs. of shaking fury down the road.

So I hop in the shoebox and see the impacts of the repair shop/dealer having their water pipes burst that week. DIRTY. Then you see the strategically hidden start/stop button (must be anti-theft...lol).

It actually feels a little peppy for a 4 cylinder. 25k on it and I think the power transfer(whatever "they" call it) is going...lol, or its a torque monster. Downfall is when you get on it a little it has a horrible vibration and the hood is visibly shaking.

Radio is pretty weak and you seem to have to turn the volume knob multiple times around to get a change.

But....it does have a middle counsel mounted hand brake and we're expecting a few inches of snow today.  ;D

If the wife's ok with it, it'll be fine. ;)

I'm currently waiting for a call on "exact" damage once they get it apart and on the "frame" machine.

Just trying to give you oldtimeyhotrod feeling with the shaking and vibration, Rich!  Rev & brake launch away ;)  In the middle of winter, asking for AWD is asking for a piece of unobtanium.  Don't feel too bad, I was stuffed into a 2013 Hyundai Accent (GDI!) for a few days this week while the Edge was undergoing warranty work.  Not too bad of a car actually, but for slight engine buzziness & overall notsoquiet interior.
 
I have dealt with these body shops quite a few times in the past,its all about shortcuts and whats more beneficial to them,no offense but honestly i would show my face there and get an update or an official estimate and what exactly they are ordering and need to be changed,on my other car someone hit me in the rear,while the car was parked and the bodyshop put body compound on the trunk pan to make it look good temporarily.
 
I ended up driving a KIA Soul around while my car was being repaired. Can't say O was thrilled bit it was better than I thought it would be. It had a ton of headroom (I'm 6'3) which was surprising for how small it was. Then again it is box shaped...good luck with the repair Rich!

I went over everything with these guys. I specifically pointed stuff out and said this needs to be fixed (door gaps), told them of the trunk pan in accident just like this needs to be cut out and new one in, and was assured a call when it was fully assessed.

Warned them of my condition, SHO-CD...lol

In my mind, if the frame is twisted a little. The trunk pan replacement would be key in helping lock the fix into place.

Thx

This cx-5 looks small on the outside but has room inside it seems. Think that comes from sitting on the floor though. I can't believe it weighs more than the SHO, and I bet I could stuff twice as much stuff in the SHO.

Rich

 
The CX-5 would be a hoot with a turbo and 250hp+.  Wonder how that AWD system works with snow.

I have a 2015 Tahoe rental in my driveway now, sweet ride.  Getting over a foot of snow today/tomorrow, will give it a proper test drive.
 
Well, I was busy working so the wife had to run and pick up the car.

She obviously wasn't qualified to deal with these idiots, as they seem to be trying to completely take us to the cleaners.

Notice the gaps?

And they then tell her that the $500 appearance allowance for dented exaust tip was used for deductible, when we had verbally agreed on waived deductible plus the $500.

Oh how I want to start handing out high fives to the face with a flat shovel.
