Dang that sucks..... crazy thing, I've been through that intersection before. Kind of a weird one....

 

Ok so i stopped on the way home today to inspect the damage a little bit. Other than the obvious I noticed the rim was dented in about two inches and as far as suspension the only thing i noticed was that the spindle was snapped at the arm that connects to the upper ball joint, and the upper ball joint was pushed out of its seat. A little bit of scraping on the upper control arm, but nothing major. I cant tell if the strut was snapped or if it was just the wierd angle it was sitting at. The frame rail seemed relatively untouched, a couple scrapes and dings but no obvious kinks or rips or anything, and same goes for the all the mounting brackets for the control arms.

The wheelhousing has been pushed back a little or wrinkled by where it meets the bumper. Depending on the labor to fix that, it might lead to the car getting totaled if not for the cost of the replacement parts.

Even if they total it, you can find all the damaged parts from the used market for around $1200-1400, so it is worth fixing it(IMO).

 

After looking through all of these pictures i actually feel better about wanting to buy an s2000. This car holds up better than I would of thought. Yes this is my first post.

 

Did I REALLY just read this?

No offense dude...learn a LITTLE about this car before you get another S2000...........

 

Damn just saw a sebring Ap2? with v1's on the San Diego news. Hit a semi I think they spun out, I didn't catch the front of the report. I think they said the driver died =(.

edit: here we go http://www.cbs8.com/story/20514974/1...road-collision

 

What.. the.. freak. It would be a miracle if the driver/survived that sort of impact

 

UPDATE: Totaled with over 11.5k worth of damages.

 

I didn't actually mean an axel, I just don't know exactly what it would have been.

 

Did ins get you a valuation yet?
