OK, I spoke to the adjuster this morning who said that according to the "visual" inspection, there is over $8000 worth of damage. Obviously, when Max rips it apart, he will find more, and the adjuster said that is fine and that they will cover it. It will be towed to Max's shop today, at which time I will take pictures of the damage and post them here, so we can see before and after. I feel alot better now knowing that I will have my baby back. Thanks to all of you who offered your support in my time of need.....

As promised, here are the before pictures.

So, now that we have seen the before pictures lets see what Max can come up with for the AFTER pictures. I think a nice Veilside bumper/hood or maybe even Top Secret bumper will look nice..... stay tuned

Frame damage will be minimal if any(hopefully). Car crushed as its supposed to! 
Sad pictures though.
Definitly took out that cross member that ran under the stock intake! Not sure what effect that will have on the frame. Though from the looks of the 2nd pic your tire has POSITIVE camber. Leaning // and not like it should. Obviously the marks are exagerated but you get the idea. // tire setup is gonna hold corners much better than // though if your wanting to take the side wall writing off it would be good!!!

yeah jeff you did a number this time
.
The left side (drivers) rail is bent in quite a bit more the the right and the crossmember is within an inch of the motor but the motor looks ok. A couple of good points is that his windshield isn't cracked at all the fie wall doesn't appear to have any damage and the doors open and close fine all this shows it that the energy was absorbed up front and stayed up front when jeff met pole.
It will definitely be a time consuming process a month at least and my gestamite is about 13,000 to 15,000 for the final price in damage
